Ever wanted to just play World of Tanks but be rewarded for it? Well, the latest event exclusive to World of Tanks players on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PS4 lets you do just that.
The Soviet Dream Machines event for the console version of World of Tanks will be kicking off from May 1st 2018 and it gives the opportunity for all players to return to the mighty Motherland and choose their own prizes.
In place throughout the month of May, you’ll be given the chance to choose from a ton of options including grabbing additional Premium Time and Boost Ops, to being able to go hands on with some incredibly powerful Premium tanks in order to strengthen your armoury.
how do you go about all this? Well, that will begin by seeing players earning points towards the event whenever they place in one of the top five spots in their team during Multiplayer battles. These can then be redeemed against ten tiers of highly valuable rewards from ‘Drop Ops’, each of which are worth different amounts of points. But when a reward has been redeemed, that doesn’t mean the fun will stop as the points will keep racking up during the event, allowing access to bigger and better prizes as the month goes on!
This Soviet Dream Machines event marks the return of the Motherland, a legendary Soviet Medium Tank that acts as a badge of honour for Commanders in World of Tanks on Console. As one of the first Hero tanks to be added to the game, it has attained an almost mythical status to remain a highly sought-after prize. You will need to work hard to reach for this coveted war machine though, as it’s worth a more challenging 1,000 points.
Elsewhere further prize tiers include the T-29, a new Premium tank that excels at unleashing hard-hitting, fast-firing punishment at close-range, the heavyweight KV-220-2, the nimble yet deadly T-50-2, and the explosive ISU-122S, alongside a host of other prizes including Silver, XP Boost Ops, and Premium time.
A trio of new Premium Heroes will also be released throughout May and these can help to earn bonus points towards Soviet Dream Machines. The devastatingly powerful Guardian STG joins the fight, alongside a new hero direct from the pages of Dark Horse Comics: Kraft’s Pz. IV. This Dark Horse Hero arrives ahead of the release of World of Tanks: Citadel, a new digital and printed comic book series from renowned writer Garth Ennis. A third tank will also be announced later in the month, and it’s one that is not to be missed.
It’s not just the Soviet Dream Machines event that you should be keeping en eye out for during May as World of Tanks Console is extending the Soviet celebrations, to a whole host of events that go hand-in-hand with the special prize event. Players will have the opportunity to hunt down Soviet tanks to earn double Silver Boosts with the Lock On: Soviet Tanks Op. Turning the tables, the Soviet Predators Op also allows players to seek and destroy with Soviet vehicles, where taking out 500 tanks will earn them a shiny new Soviet Patriot Medal. Both of these events will be running from May 1-27, and offers extra incentive to rack up the points for Soviet Dream Machines. And with Soviet Tech Tree vehicles available with up to a 50% discount from May 1-9, there’s no excuse not to join the party!
And finally, as commanders begin to take to the frontlines, they may need to take note that the battle landscape is about to change. You see, Winter has melted away to reveal a new map, Nomonhan. This is prepped and ready to enter rotation from May 1 as players start to discover how it has been based on the real tank battles of Khalkin Gol, where the Soviets battled the Japanese.
So, it’s a busy old time for World of Tanks Console players throughout May 2018. Will you be getting involved? You really should!
See you on the battlefield!
