Greetings, commanders.
Intelligence helped us locate the rogue engineer Max von Krieger,
formerly known under the name von Hoffman.
He’s presumably developing a new type of weapon
with excellent combat potential.
And considering his specialization,
it's based on electromagnetic technology.
His actions are considered by us to be potentially dangerous
and opposite of both our and our allies’ interests.
Command has decided to form a special Harrier Squad
with the goal of disarming a possible aggressor
and, if possible, capturing the technology.
To complete the mission, all of you will receive a special vehicle:
the T-55 Thunderbolt.
The vehicle is a modified T-55
equipped with additional electromagnetic shell accelerators in the gun's bore.
To activate the electromagnetic accelerators, the Impulse-1 power unit,
the technology of which we received from our allies,
is mounted on the vehicle's hull.
The unit is empty at the beginning of the battle
and you can't deal meaningful damage to Krieger's vehicle.
The engineer will not be alone:
there will be autonomous combat vehicles on the battlefield.
They arrive in squads.
After they are destroyed, the last destroyed enemy drops an Energy Pack
that looks like ball lightning.
Get close to it.
The Impulse-1 will consume the energy, restore your hit points a bit,
and increase the firepower for ALL vehicles on your team.
Additionally, collecting an Energy Pack
will increase the time left for the mission.
When the power unit is fully charged,
the Engineer's position will be revealed on the map.
You will also gain access to the Charge mode,
which will grant the vehicle additional acceleration for a short amount of time.
Your main target is the Engineer
and his vehicle based on the Waffenträger auf E 100.
Intelligence indicates that the main locations of Krieger's activities
are Fisherman's Bay, Studzianki, and Redshire.
The Waffenträger is equipped with some kind of electromagnetic field
that improves the vehicle's defenses.
As long as it has enough energy, only the field gets damaged.
You can't damage the internal or external modules,
nor stun the crew of the Waffenträger.
You should also note the enemy's firepower.
The Waffenträger needs just a couple of hits to completely destroy your vehicle.
The Engineer's vehicle has two technological features.
The first one is the EMP Arrow.
It's a high-voltage charge that deals a small amount of damage
and disables your electronics when it hits you.
This will slow you down for some time
and decrease your vehicle's characteristics.
The second ability is the EMP Burst.
It disables the electronics for everyone in the impact area
and it can pass through obstacles.
It also causes significant damage to the nearest vehicles.
Be careful and remember…
Each of you will have only 3 attempts.
An autoloader!
An electromagnetic field and 32,000 hit points!
Unique abilities!
Feel the power of the Waffenträger!
Make them run!
In The Last Waffenträger game mode, players can not only play as Harriers,
but as the Waffenträger itself!
Complete special missions and earn Keys to do so.
Keys can also be received in the Premium Shop bundles.
Also, completing missions will earn you Footlockers.

The rewards from the Special Footlocker are more substantial.
And even more than that,

You might not know in advance what's inside the Special Footlocker,
but you have the ability to reopen them.
Footlockers are reopened using credits.
Special Footlockers are reopened using gold.
In addition, you will get 100 gold
once after the first opening of the Special Footlocker.
Another challenge awaits you in The Last Waffenträger event.
If you’re lucky,
you may encounter a special Waffenträger auf E 220 in battle…
Defeating it won’t be easy, but if you do…
Each member of your team will receive a worthy reward.
Good luck, commanders!
