KANONENJAGPANZER 3 GST TURM STAT UPDATES

Heads up, Commander: the tank in our Darkness Rising Ultimate Season Pass—the German Tier X Kanonenjagpanzer 3 GST Turm Tank Destroyer—is receiving some stat buffs as of today! The changes are shown below.

  • Health: 1,900 -> 2,100
  • Turret Rotation Speed: 20 -> 22
  • Reload Time: 9.8s -> 8.9s
    • Damage Per Minute: 2,448 -> 2,696
    • Rate of Fire: 6.12 -> 6.74
  • Aim Time: 2.5 -> 2.1

NOTE: TEMPORARY STORE REORGANIZATION

In order to accommodate all of the Halloween material we’ve added to the game over the years, we’ve temporarily shuffled around and added some categories in the in-game Store:

  • The “Auxiliary” category has been removed.
  • Items that were in the “Auxiliary” category (Booster Bundles, Silver Bundles, Garage Slot Bundles, etc.) have been moved into Offers. They’ll be there next to “Wallet Savers” and “Weekly Sales.”
  • Two new categories are available under Halloween: “Eternal Enemies” (for this Halloween’s new content) and “Monster Hunter” (for any returning content, including Malibu “Steven” items).

The Store will revert to its previous organization after November 4th.

And speaking of those eternal enemies…

NEW – HALLOWEEN 2024: CARMILLA VS VAN HELSING
