Commanders!
A new permanent system of Random battle challenges awaits, Commanders!
Take on the Crucible Trials, where every battle tests your skill, Shields protect your run, and unique rewards await those who endure.
The Crucible is built for players who want sharper objectives, tougher pressure, and rewards that truly feel earned.
The Crucible offers tests of skill and cunning across 3 difficulty levels, each built around a series of missions you complete in order. A greater difficulty offers greater rewards—but leaves less room for mistakes. Start with the level that matches your confidence, and roll into battle with one goal: complete the current stage before the battle ends. |
|
Each stage must be completed in a single battle. Succeed, and the next stage opens. Fall short, and your Shields absorb the failure—until they are gone. The final stage holds the most valuable rewards, including exclusive items that showcase the mastery and fortitude you displayed in the Crucible’s trials. |
|
Shields are your lifeline in the Crucible. If you fail to complete a stage, you lose one Shield instead of the entire Trial. But they are limited! Once your Shields are gone, the Trial fails if you don’t complete a stage. Every battle counts, every decision matters, and every mistake is a step closer to defeat. |
|
Trials rotate, conditions refresh, rewards update, and new missions arrive over time. You can restart failed Trials, replay completed ones when available, or abandon your current challenge to choose a different path. Return often, test new tactics, and prove your last victory was no accident. |
|
Enter the dedicated Crucible interface in-game to activate a Trial, check its stages and mission conditions, review your Shields, and prepare for your next battle.
The rules are simple. The path is not. Choose your Trial wisely, enter a Random Battle, and fight your way from the first stage to the final reward.
Every completed Stage brings valuable everyday resources, so each step through a Trial rewards your effort. But the Crucible’s true trophies are its exclusive customization rewards, including unique 3D attachments and 2D styles you can only earn by taking on its challenges.
Finish full Trials to claim hard-earned marks of mastery and skill. These are not simple decorations—they are battle scars cast in steel and forged in glory.

[/carousel]Before you enter the Crucible, keep these key rules in mind:
Eligible vehicles: Crucible Trials can be completed with vehicles starting from Tier VI.
Platoons: Platoons are allowed, so you can enter the Crucible with trusted allies at your side.
Stage completion: A stage is checked when the battle ends. Meeting the condition during battle is not enough by itself—the battle result must confirm completion.
Shields: Shields protect your Trial progress. If you miss a stage condition, you lose one Shield. If all Shields are gone, the challenge fails.
Rerolls: If a Trial defeats you, Rerolls give you another shot. Some Trials can be restarted, letting you return to the fight and try again.
Retry: Your first attempt is free. If you want to restart the same Trial before it refreshes, you can do so for gold. Alternatively, wait for the Trials to refresh and it will become available again.
Active Trial limit: You can have only 1 active Trial at a time. Choose your challenge, commit to the run, and see it through.
Future Trials: The Crucible is designed as a dynamic system with rotating Trials, updated conditions, and refreshed rewards over time.
The Crucible is not another mission chain. It is a test of focus, skill, and battlefield prowess.
Coming in Update 2.3.1, fight through every stage, prove yourself, and claim rewards worthy of your might.
