Prime Tanki Patch 2.1 Notes

A New Event: Arms Race

Arms Race opens tonight, 6 November. Everyone drives the same Viking M3 and starts with Smoky M3. Every few kills your tank swaps to the next turret, all the way to Terminator. The first to finish the last level wins.

How it works

• Press Events in the battle list and pick an Arms Race. You go straight onto the map
• Until the round starts it is a warm-up: drive and shoot, nothing counts. The round starts 60 seconds after three quarters of the seats are taken, or at once when the map is full
• 4 kills on each turret from Smoky to Vulcan, then 5 with Striker and 7 with Terminator: 56 kills to win
• The turrets, in order: Smoky, Firebird, Twins, Railgun, Isida, Thunder, Ricochet, Freeze, Shaft, Hammer, Vulcan, Striker, Terminator
• All ranks play together on the same tank, every turret at M3. Protection modules do not work, supply boxes drop on the map, Gold Boxes do not
• A round lasts up to 30 minutes. The first player to reach each level is announced to everyone
• Once the round starts, kills, score, the battle fund and your missions count like in any battle

Four ways to play

• Arms Race: everyone equal. No augments, no supplies, no micro-upgrades
• Arms Race VIP: your own augments, supplies and micro-upgrades work
• Team Arms Race: Red against Blue. Everyone climbs their own levels, and the first to finish wins it for their team. If time runs out, the team with more kills wins
• Team Arms Race VIP: the team race with your own augments, supplies and micro-upgrades

Watch Your Rounds Again

Your rounds are now saved. Open one again, fly around with a free camera, follow any tank and find that one moment. Then cut it out and share it.

Your replays

• Press Replays in the top bar, next to eSports. It lists your last 10 rounds, kept for 7 days
• A replay is the part of the round you played, from when you joined to when you left. It is ready a few minutes after you leave, even if the round goes on
• From a long room the replay keeps the last 10 minutes. Prime Cup games and XP/BP rounds are kept whole
• Rounds on the Brazil server are not saved

Watching

• Space plays and pauses, Left and Right skip 10 seconds, Up and Down change the speed from 0.5x to 2x
• Drag the timeline to any moment. Kills, flags and Gold Boxes are marked on it: click one, or jump between them with comma and period
• Follow any tank or fly free. The mouse wheel sets how fast the free camera flies
• Tab shows the score at that moment. Click a name to follow that player
• Clean view (H) hides the whole interface and every name, for clean videos
• Settings has a new Spectator tab for the free camera: mouse and keyboard speed, smoothness, and every camera key

Share a clip

• Press Trim (T), set the start and the end with the two handles (or I and O), then press Get code
• Anyone who types the code into the Replays window watches just that clip, for 30 days, even without Replays unlocked
• Want to show a moderator what happened in a battle? Send them the code

Replays are in beta. Unlock them once in the Shop for 100 PT. When the beta ends, they will be free for everyone.

Halloween Lasts Until Monday

Gold Boxes keep dropping more often, most of all on the Halloween maps, and the Halloween special missions stay open until Monday 9 November, 03:00 UTC.

Featured Rooms

Two Featured rooms sit at the top of the battle list: one for ranks 1 to 10 and one for Major to Generalissimo. Every round they move to a new map, with a random mode, so there is always something new to play.

Fair Server Battles

Augments and micro-upgrades are off in every server battle, so everyone fights on the same terms. In a battle you create, you can still turn them on.

• From Major up, Create battle opens on Major to Generalissimo, so the top ranks can all play together. Below Major a battle you create still spans 6 ranks
• A dropped flag that nobody picks up or returns goes home after 30 seconds, up from 20
• Before you join a battle on a server far from you, the game shows your ping to it and asks if you want to go
• A new player's first battle is on the server closest to them
• Battles you cannot join are listed below the ones you can
• A room that empties starts fresh for the next player: full time, no old scores, fund or boxes

Smoother Battles

More FPS and fewer short freezes in big fights, with the same look and physics.

Changes

• Tank shadows no longer redraw whole parts of the map. The biggest gain is on Silence II, Skylark, Barda and Red Alert
• The game wastes much less memory on every tank and every shot, so big battles stutter less

Bigger Weekly Gifts

Finish a mission every day for a whole week and you earn the weekly gift. All four weeks now pay much more.

Missing a day empties the week's bar, but it never takes you back a week.

Turrets and Augments

Turrets

• Railgun: +10% minimum damage at every modification, XP/BP included

XT Skins Wear Their M3 Look

Every XT turret and hull now wears its M3 look at every modification, from M0 to M3.
