Prime Tanki Patch 1.0 Notes

Opening on 16 October

Prime Tanki opens on 16 October, at a random hour. Keep an eye on Discord so you don’t miss the moment the doors open.

Opening

• Date: 16 October
• Time: a random hour, announced on Discord

Expect a Rough Day

I will be honest with you: the first day will be rough. A lot of you will play at the same time, and that is when the bugs we never found come out. Expect some instability, the game kicking you out, and the servers going down for maintenance while we fix things. We will be on it all day.

Gold Boxes x20

From the opening on 16 October until 6 November, Gold Boxes drop 20 times more often. Get ready to hear that siren a lot.

Event

• Gold Boxes: x1 ⇒ x20
• Dates: 16 October to 6 November

Halloween Gold Boxes

The Halloween Gold Boxes from the old Tanki events are back. The Big Golden Pumpkin is worth 3,000 crystals, but it is 3 times rarer. If you catch one, take a screenshot!

Pumpkin Gold Box

• Worth: 1,000 crystals

Golden Pumpkin

• Worth: 1,000 crystals

Big Golden Pumpkin

• Worth: 3,000 crystals
• How rare: 3 times rarer than the others

Pumpkin Cases

Sometimes a pumpkin case falls instead of a Gold Box. The colour tells you what is inside.

Green Pumpkin Case

• Inside: 1 Container

Pink Pumpkin Case

• Inside: 2 Containers

Red Pumpkin Case

• Inside: 3 Containers

Orange Pumpkin Case

• Inside: 1 Ultra Container

Halloween Graves

When a tank gets destroyed, a grave with a candle stays where it died. Spooky.

New

• Graves with candles all event long

Gold Box

Same as old Tanki: one Gold Box is worth the same for everybody, Recruit or Generalissimo.

Worth

• Gold Box: 1,000 crystals at every rank
• Big Golden Pumpkin (Halloween): 3,000 crystals

Gold Box Hunter

Every Gold Box you catch counts on the Gold Box Hunter rating, every week and every month. The V-LOGs are back too, and in every V-LOG we name the best hunters.

Faster Ranks

You rank up way faster than in old Tanki. The biggest boost is in the middle ranks, where old Tanki was so slow that most of us gave up. The top ranks still take time, so Generalissimo still means something.

Kills to pass each rank

*Hours of play from Recruit, without Premium.

Premium

Premium gives you 1.5x experience on top of the faster ranks. In the middle ranks that means you rank up about 10 times faster than in old Tanki. It also doubles your crystals.

Premium

• Experience: x1.5
• Crystals: x2
• Rank up: about 10 times faster than old Tanki

Welcome Bonus

Every new account starts with a bonus, so you can build a real garage from day one.

Every new account gets

• Crystals: 5,000
• Containers: 3
• Premium: 24 hours

Battle Crystals

You win more crystals in every battle. The lower your rank, the bigger the boost.

Crystals from battles

• Recruit to Warrant Officer 4: x1 ⇒ x6.7
• Warrant Officer 5 to Major: x1 ⇒ x5.9 to x3.3
• Lieutenant Colonel to Generalissimo: x1 ⇒ x3

Mission Crystals

Missions pay more when you get to the higher ranks.

Crystals from missions

• Recruit to Warrant Officer 4: x1
• Warrant Officer 5 to Colonel: x1 ⇒ x1.5
• Brigadier to Generalissimo: x1 ⇒ x2

Rank-up Rewards

Every new rank gives you crystals, and the big ranks give containers too.

Rewards

Micro-upgrades

Upgrade your turrets, hulls and protection step by step. Every step makes them a bit stronger. When you finish all the steps, the next modification is yours for free.

How it works

• Upgrade step by step, like the old micro-upgrades
• Finish all the steps and the next modification (M1, M2, M3) is free

Protection

Protection modules go up to 50% now, and they also help you against Freeze and Firebird: you stay frozen or burning for less time.

Protection modules

• Maximum: 50%
• Freeze and burning: shorter with protection

Overdrive

Overdrive is in, the classic one that gives you supplies. When it fills up, press it and you get your supplies at once. And it has a new blast effect when you fire it.

Overdrive

• The classic Overdrive that gives you supplies
• New blast effect, in your team colour

Mouse Control in XP/BP

When you make an XP/BP battle you choose: mouse control on or off. Off means everybody aims with the keyboard, like real old school XP/BP. You never play keyboard against mouse. You can see which one a battle uses before you join.

Create battle

• Mouse control off: keyboard only, old school
• Mouse control on: mouse aiming allowed

Augments On or Off

When you make a battle you can switch augments on or off. Want a battle where everybody plays the plain turrets? Switch them off.

Create battle

• Augments: on or off

Hide Skins

Not a fan of skins? Switch them off in Settings and you see other players the classic way.

Settings

• Show other players’ skins: on or off

Modes and Maps

Here is what you can play now, and what is coming.

Modes

• Now: DM, Team Deathmatch, CTF, Juggernaut, XP/BP and Parkour
• Coming: Rugby
• Control Points: switched off for now, it comes back

Maps

• We are adding MM maps and classic maps

Turrets

• New turrets only if you guys ask for them

Results Screen

The end of the battle looks like old Tanki again.

Classic

• The results table with Stars and Bonus, like before

Battle Pass

A season lasts 28 days and has 50 tiers. You now get stars just by playing, not only from missions.

Stars

• Stars for every battle you play
• Stars for missions

Invite a Friend

Open Invite a friend in the game, copy your link and send it to your friends anywhere: Discord, TikTok, YouTube, a group chat. When they join with your link, they are your friend in the game for good, and you get rewarded while they play.

How it works

• Your friend starts with the welcome bonus: 5,000 crystals, 3 containers and 24 hours of Premium
• Every time your friend ranks up, you get a part of their rank-up crystals
• The higher they climb, the more you get
• The more friends you bring, the more containers you get

Tournaments

We took the old Tanki tournaments and made them automatic, like CS:GO, Valorant or League of Legends. The brackets make themselves, the game invites you when your match is ready, and both teams wait frozen until the countdown hits GO. No referees, no self-destruct rules, no complaints.

What you get

• An eSports button in the game: your tournaments, your team and your next match
• The tournaments website: teams, brackets, results and player profiles
• A player rating with your kills, wins and even your Railgun accuracy
• Clan tournaments and the Clan Championship

Blitz and Masters of the Sword

Blitz is the clan league: clan against clan, every week, all season. Masters of the Sword is the Railgun tournament: Hornet or Wasp, Railgun, nothing else.

Creator Program

You make videos or streams about Prime Tanki? Then I want you with us. There is no follower minimum, and it works on any platform: YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, anything.

How it works

• Sign in on the creator page with your Prime Tanki account and apply
• You get your own link to share with your viewers
• Every player you bring counts, and you move up the tiers: Star, Superstar and Legend
• Higher tiers give bigger rewards: badges in the game, your own creator code, real money for the players you bring, and at Legend your own skin set

Container

Every container shows you the chances, no secrets. And if you have bad luck for a while, the game makes sure something good comes.

Chances

Ultra Container

Chances

Skin Container

Chances

• Legendary: 100%, always a skin
