Battlefronts

Changes are coming from the garage … to the Battlefront!

This update brings one of the most highly requested tank types, dual-barrel tanks, with the first one being the Object 703 Version II Black Edition.

In addition, we have updated various tanks with secondary weapon support, added new ping and FPS display options, updated the UI for Challenges throughout the game, and more!

Important Season Information

Due to the upcoming holidays, this update spans a ten-week period instead of the normal eight-week period. To account for this, while all of the information in these update notes will be going live with the November 21st update, the next season is delayed for two weeks and will start on December 5th.

Until then, the Seasons Tab and Challenges will display "New season coming soon." Season Pass information will be available closer to the start of the season.

Features & Improvements

Dual Barrel Mechanics

We are proud to announce that the addition of dual-barrel mechanics has arrived!

Dual-barrel mechanics will only apply to specific dual-barrel tanks, with the first vehicle to receive this mechanic being the Object 703 Version II Black Edition. Tanks with dual-barrel support will have unique firing mechanics and HUD to communicate the status of each gun and the firing mode selected.

Loading:

• Each gun will reload independently, with only one gun loading at a time.

Shooting:

• Dual-barrel tanks have two firing modes that you can swap between during battle. To change modes, press the "Alt Mode" button. Generally this is Left on the D-Pad for most control schemes and Down on the D-Pad for the Driver control scheme.
  • Single Fire
    • Upon shooting the current gun, it will automatically advance to the next gun. This is so players do not have to keep holding the "Swap Gun" button after every shot to change to the other gun.
    • You can still manually swap guns if you desire by holding the "Swap Gun" button.
    • There is a short delay before you can fire the second gun.
  • Double Shot
    • This will fire both barrels at the same time.
    • There is a short delay before you can fire again if you switch to Single Fire after shooting both guns.

New HUD for dual-barrel vehicles

• There will be two reload bars representing each gun so that you can see the current reloading/loaded status of each.
• At the bottom of each reload bar is a little arrow indicator to show which gun is the current active gun. If in Double Shot mode, both will have a yellow arrow.
• Both modes have an icon displayed to the left of the ammunition display to show which mode is currently selected.
• Reload bar status:
  • Black: Gun is empty
  • White: Gun is loaded
  • Blue: Gun is currently reloading
  • Red: Delay before you can shoot again

Challenge UI

“Challenges” is now the main tab that contains Challenges, Season Challenges, and Contracts. The UI for these items has been updated within these tabs and everywhere else that this information is displayed. This includes the garage and loading screen displays.

New Game Options

Two new game options have been added:

• Show FPS
• Show Ping

The options are set to off (False) by default. When you enable these displays, you will see the values displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

• We have updated the backend processes for logging into the game. These changes will mostly be noticeable on the Series S|X and PS5 consoles to take advantage of the changes to reduce the time to reach the garage.
