Arcade Cabinet: Fight in the Darkness of the Night!
Commanders!
The dark mode has returned for its 2nd episode. Here's your chance to brave the darkness, battle through the night, and reap rewards. You can get a total of 400 for completing all missions, so, roll out into the stealthy night before the event ends on July 10 at 03:59 UTC+8.
Select Arcade Cabinet from the menu to the right of the “Battle!” button in your Garage. When hovering over the mode button, you’ll see a description of the combat modifiers to be applied in battle. Prepare for something completely different!
Available from at 12:59 UTC+8 through July 10 03:59 UTC+8
Teased in our roadmap video from the beginning of 2023, Darkness of the Night not only changes some basic gameplay parameters but also adds different lighting effects and nocturnal ambient sounds. All this creates a whole new sensation to awaken your tactical imagination. With spotting range down by more than a third, radio range halved, a shorter vehicle rendering range, and more, night fighting is stealth-based and happens at closer distances than usual.
Battle Modifiers
Tinted Optics
View range is decreased by 35%.
Jamming
Signal range is decreased by 50%.
Faded Camo
The maximum time a vehicle remains spotted is decreased to 6 seconds.
Flash in the Night
The penalty to concealment after firing is increased x10.
Vague Horizon
The maximum rendering distance for vehicles is decreased to 465 m. You are not able to see vehicles that are farther than 465 m away from you, even if they are spotted by an ally, but you might still damage them if you’re lucky.
Vehicles are easier to spot after firing in the dark, so don’t forget about muzzle flash!
