Fight for the front row and dominate the battlefield before the show begins.
This year’s Metal Fest is going to be extra special: it’s going to feature not one, but TWO main acts!
The first headliner is Five Finger Death Punch, who is ready to steal the show with an incredible performance!
The multi-platinum metal giants are fresh off the announcement of their much-anticipated tenth studio album, Legacy, releasing on July 31. This year marks a remarkable milestone for the band: they are celebrating 20 years of making music together with their 20th Anniversary World Tour, spanning North America and Europe. Of course, their next stop is the main stage at Metal Fest–and guess what? The show is just about to start.
You know exactly what that means: it’s time to Rush the Stage and claim a prime spot for the show before someone else does!
Read on for all the details of Rush the Stage and head to this article to check out the Five Finger Death Punch-themed tanks and 3D Commander you can add to your garage to destroy the challenge.
Plus, take on an extra Challenge that’ll earn you a discount on the Five Finger Death Punch-themed tanks!
Rush the Stage: Overview
Here’s how Rush the Stage challenge works:
This year, Rush the Stage will run for 11 days, from August 7 through August 17. You’ll be able to play the challenge in both WWII mode and in Cold War mode during the same period.
To join a Rush the Stage battle, you’ve got two options:
- Head to the mode select screen and choose it from there.
- While in your garage, press both your Left Trigger (LT) and Right Trigger (RT). This will take you right to the event mode garage to pick your tank!
Rush the Stage uses Control gameplay conditions on a map designed especially for Metal Fest. Control the three bases and destroy enemy tanks to score points. The first team to 1,000 points wins! (Each base scores points for every two seconds held. The main base around Center Stage scores double the points.) If neither team reaches 1,000 points, the one with the highest score at the end of the match will win.
