The Tech Tree of the European Nation has grown a new, strong branch consisting of Tier VI–X tanks! The Swedes have brought national food for their provisions. Among consumables for higher-tier tanks, you will find Improved Engine Power Boost and Reticle Calibration. On top of that, two Legendary camouflages are available for the Tier X Kranvagn at once!
You Shall Pass!
We fixed crossing capacity and got rid of bugs. Low-silhouette tanks will no longer drown under the bridges in the center of the Canal map. It is now easier to destroy logs on Copperfield. From now on, vehicles won't get stuck on the crest of the waterfall on Yukon, or near the water tower on Alpenstadt. On top of that, the issue where shells didn't pass through the slit in the door of the hangar on Himmelsdorf has been fixed.
Brutality is the Color of the Season
Such severe warpaints as Fire Sentinel, Hardy, and Oxidized Metal are back in the camo selection menu. The costs vary from 65 gold to 750 gold, depending on the vehicle tier.
The Jade Shards, Golden Carp, and Effective Concealment warpaints are no longer available for purchase.
Improvements
• The camera sensitivity default settings have been changed from 95% to 120% in arcade mode and from 65% to 100% in sniper mode. Also, the gyroscope sensitivity has been decreased. • The navigation panel has been added for the Consumables and Provisions screens. • The Minus button now displays/hides the list of players. • The bug where the Plus button didn't open the Store screen when switching from the Avatars screen has been fixed. • Upon spending and returning in-game currency at the same time, a total final figure is now displayed instead of two ratios—"Will be returned" and "Will be deducted". • On the Provisions and Consumables screens, if consumables are not applied, the most effective one is selected by default. • Destroying the IS-2 Chinese heavy tank now counts towards The Lion of Sinai medal. • The Allies HP restored ribbon has been added for some modes. • During the pre-battle countdown, the boosters panel is now also displayed when team lists are hidden (previously, it was only displayed when the lists were shown). • The cases of incorrect reload indication during the pre-battle countdown have been fixed. • The bug where some logos didn't load on the tournament page has been fixed. • The bug where the Watching Ads button didn't disappear from the battle results screen after watching an ad has been fixed. • The bug where the vehicle panel position wasn't saved upon going to another menu and upon returning to the Garage later has been fixed. • Various screens, descriptions, and notifications have been improved. • General bugs and client crashes have been fixed.
Balance Improvements
We're continuing to work on the game comfort when playing in lower-tier vehicles. In this update, the changes affected the maneuverability of several tanks, such as the M7, A20, R35, Matilda, М5 Stuart, and АМХ 38. As for higher-tier vehicles, the gun mantlet armor was changed for the Chieftain Mk.6, Super Conqueror, Object 140, T-62А, E 100, and Löwe.
In the latest version of the game, the European Nation is building up its firepower. The wild temper of Italian medium tanks will be balanced out by the Nordic durability and cold anger of Swedish heavies. This branch features five tanks with diverse armaments ranging from classic cannons to guns with autoreloaders or magazines. Check out these Swedish warriors and prepare to lead them to victory!

The T26E3 Eagle 7 is a dependable medium tank boasting high single-shot damage, nice armor penetration, a solid gun mantlet, and an impressive amount of HP. Thanks to its 10-degree depression angle, it can effectively take advantage of terrain irregularities. Another special feature of the T26E3 is the permanent camouflage inspired by a tank—the "Eagle 7" under the command of Sergeant Bob Earley—whose crew fought admirably at the Battle of Cologne on March 6, 1945.
A bundle with the T26E3 Eagle 7 will be available in the Store until October 5. The tank is fully equipped and ready for battle. Time to take command!

The future. Cozy... bright... shining... At least, this is what you see after you've been enhanced with neural implants. You can hardly recall what reality actually looks like: smoke-filled days, endless nights, acidic puddles reflecting pink and blue neon lights instead of stars... Everything may be packed with technology, but the city lives by the same rule as it did hundreds of years before: take what's yours at any cost.
Operation Code: Fatal includes two reward progressions, each of which is divided into 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to all players, while the lower (gold) progression can only be accessed by Premium Pass owners. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Chips: 10 Chips = 1 level. Although the Level increases automatically, you will need to collect the rewards manually.
CIS: from September 1, 8:00 (MSK) to September 29, 8:00 (MSK)
Europe: from September 1, 14:00 (CEST) to September 29, 14:00 (CEST)
North America: from September 1, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET) to September 29, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET)
Asia: from September 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to September 29, 14:00 (UTC+8)
The Temptations of the Future
In the world of Code: Fatal, nobody struggles to survive. Power, might, wealth, exclusive camouflage, avatars, profile backgrounds, top vehicles... These are the things that matter. All this can become yours if you earn Chips and increase the Pass Level.
The Best Weapons
With a Premium Pass on hand, you'll get the tier IV Durchbruchswagen 2, a retro heavy tank from the old days, at Level 1. With a great amount of HP, high damage per shot, and not a single microcircuit, nobody will be able to hack and override it.
Then at Level 35 of the Pass, you'll gain access to the Tier VI Eraser BP44. There are two scary things in this world. The first is the kill code that erases your data. The second is the Eraser.
The drone scans the area in front of the tank before the battle. The cold fusion engine shines brighter depending on the speed. And while there's a compartment with riot control weapons hidden on the left part of the turret, the Eraser never gets to use them because the gun, a reliable though significantly reworked piece of firepower, is usually sufficient.
Thanks to its improved recoil and gas systems, high damage, and sturdy armor, the Eraser BP44 is the best weapon in this new world. High-tech, ruthless, extremely effective, and fatal.
Code: Fatal Profile Background
A special decoration awaits you at Level 80. In the style of Operation Code: Fatal, your statistics screen will be decorated in neon and with the Eraser. The same picture will appear in the background of your nickname in battle results.
Resource Vaults
They accumulate credits and Free XP as you win! Premium Pass gives you access to the Gold Vault, which starts off with 125 Gold and has an overall capacity of 2,000 Gold.
Autumn Season 2020 is just around the corner, which means it's time to team up and make sure your favorite tanks are ready for intense tournament battles!
