Modern APFSDS Ammunition Fix
In Armored Warfare, there is a type of APFSDS ammunition that’s called “modern” – vehicles with these kinetic shells are able to defeat a single layer of ERA (much like tandem HEAT warheads).
Previously, the only way how to tell the vehicle’s kinetic shell has this property was to check the Traits section of the vehicle’s description. As a result, very few players knew about it because the shells themselves still showed as standard shells. In this update, we have created two new ammunition categories:
APFSDS-M (Modern APFSDS)
APFSDS-MDU (Modern APFSDS with Depleted Uranium penetrator)
And we have assigned the appropriate shells to these categories. This concerns the following vehicles (and their Premium variants):
AbramsX
M1A2C
M8-120 Thunderbolt II
T-14 Armata (125mm only)
T-90M Proryv
TTB
XM1A3
Please note that the localization of this feature might not be finished at release and will be added in the next update.
Additional Vehicle Fixes and Updates
With each patch we continue (and will continue) to update vehicles based on your feedback and fix them. In this update, we have the following changes for you:
Fixed an issue where parts of multiple vehicles disappeared (BMPT guns, parts of C13 TUA launcher etc.)
Ajax: Fixed the Desert Ajax skin textures under the turret
M8-120 Thunderbolt II: Vehicle now uses the turret-mounted M2 Browning instead of the incorrectly modeled coaxial machinegun (the damage and penetration will be adjusted in the next update to correspond to its correct 12.7mm caliber)
Merkava Mk.4: Troop compartment module now has a correct icon
Merkava Mk.4M: Troop compartment module now has a correct icon
Object 640: Reduced the amount of clip rounds from 5 to 4
Object 640: Somewhat reduced the characteristics of the upgraded engine (except for the top speed)
T-90A: Fixed the Relikt armor upgrade
T-90MS: Removed the incorrectly issued double hard-kill APS function
General Changes
Optimized the Garage UI in order to increase its stability
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3054610/ Dear players, The Artifact Seeker is reborn! The new DLC Legacy of Mortia will also be released simultaneously. Thank you for your long-term support. In the new DLC, you will experience:
New character, Ceratil the Battle Doll Ceratil, a name in the dwarven tongue that means “Ancient Guardian,” was the last of the ancient artifacts unearthed from the Mortia mines, meticulously crafted by the greatest magical artisans of an ancient kingdom long perished. Her form is exquisitely beautiful and indestructible, with an inner structure containing lost magics and technologies. Her gauntlets serve not only as weapons but also as conduits for interacting with the world, capable of manipulating elemental forces and the magic of ancient runes. Despite Ceratil’s almost impossibly endearing appearance, her true purpose and the role she played in Mortia’s demise remain enshrouded in mystery.
Features: Ceratil doesn't like to make unnecessary moves. She either doesn't take action or kills the enemy instantly.
New character, Suraz the Artifact Collector No one knows Suraz's past. All we know is that he has collected a lot of ancient artifacts, some of which do not belong to any era or civilization.
Features: Suraz's Grimoire will constantly change its form, and Suraz will continue to enchant and grow during the battle.
New character, Nargoth the Survivor of Mortia When Mortia fell hundreds of years ago, Nargoth was just an apprentice craftsman. Although his casting skills are now perfect, he still hopes to regain Mortia's lost skills.
Features: Dwarves are always the most shrewd and greedy, and Nargoth always finds a way to get the best discounts.
In addition, the DLC will also - Add a new map, Mortia, where dozens of new enemies will appear - Add dozens of new artifacts - Add dozens of new events - Add some new Synergy - Add new affixes - Add a new in-game growth system: Awakening - Add new custom difficulty entries and a higher atonement level cap - Add more in-game achievements and Magic Court meta-progress
Within 2 weeks of the launch, Artifact Seeker: Resurrection will be at -40% discount and there will be a bundle with DLC at a deep discount of -60% discount. The two discounts will stack together to a nearly -75% discount of total price.
Finally, thank you again for your support. It has not been an easy journey, and we will continue to update it. We hope you like our game.

Captain Flameheart has returned, but the real star of Season 13 is his fiery flagship, awaiting crews who have what it takes to claim it for themselves! For an overview of this new Season’s headline features, head to our dedicated Season 13 page.
The Burning Blade
Ready your crew and take on the Burning Blade World Event! Easily spotted from afar with its telltale burning braziers and skyward beacon, this infernal ten-cannon warship will take a seasoned crew to take it on.
Players who subdue the ship’s Obsidian Skeleton crew can choose to pledge service to the notorious Captain Flameheart and take control of the Burning Blade for themselves. Once in control, the crew will be assisted by Flameheart’s skeletal followers and have access to its weaponry, including Obsidian Ashen Winds Skulls to help repel boarders and the devastating Ashen Roar fired from the bow of the ship.
Loyal Guardians can instead choose to completely sink the Burning Blade and claim its sizeable bounty from the wreckage. This includes the Blade of Souls, a fiery new melee weapon capable of setting foes ablaze!
Skeleton Camps
Flameheart’s forces have constructed Skeleton Camps across the Sea of Thieves, built over the Ancient Temples hidden below the surface. Crews can discover these camps naturally on islands or dive straight to them from the Quest Table.
Descending into an Ancient Temple, players must unravel the mysteries of the constellations by solving puzzles to unlock access to the Crypt Vault. There, those who oppose Flameheart can put a stop to the Ritual, snatch the Orb of Secrets and deliver it to the Trading Companies for a reward.
Crews who have pledged service to Captain Flameheart and taken command of the Burning Blade, however, should complete the Rituals within the Ancient Temples to gather the lost knowledge that Flameheart seeks.
As crews complete Rituals, Flameheart’s power grows, rewarding pledged pirates accordingly when they return the Burning Blade to him at The Reaper’s Hideout. Crews who instead destroy the Burning Blade and retrieve the Blade of Souls can sell it for a value depending on the Rituals performed before the ship was defeated!
Commendations and Rewards
Crews choosing to side with the Pirate Lord and sink the Burning Blade will unlock access to items from the Obsidian Bone Crusher set, with ship parts, clothing items and weapons all available to earn.
Those instead choosing to pledge to Flameheart and sail the devastating Burning Blade can unlock the Burning Blade Reborn ship set, and Servants of the Flame who have already drunk from Flameheart’s chalice can unlock new skeleton cosmetics and bone colours when crewing the Burning Blade as skeletons.
Players taking the Orbs from the Temples can unlock the Cracked Orb Lantern, and those seeking to steal the Orbs from unsuspecting crews can earn the Reaper’s Bones Shattered Mask.
Descending deep into the Ancient Temples below the Skeleton Camps to unravel their mysteries will unlock access to new tattoos for your troubles.
Season 13
Another Season means 100 new levels to climb by raising your Renown, with racks full of rewards to snag along the way – and an optional Plunder Pass adding even more. Emissaries aren't forgotten either, with the latest Company-themed cosmetics for qualifying Ledger performances!
Season 13 Rewards and Plunder Pass
Progressing through the 100 levels of Renown in Season 13 will reward players with Bloodstone Dragon cosmetics alongside other time-limited Seasonal specials. Head to the Seasons profile page to browse the new rewards and check your pirate’s progress!
Pick up the latest Plunder Pass to gain access to a plethora of additional unlockable cosmetics from the Eclipse set, including a full ship set plus the Jacket, Hat and Gloves, all available to earn by raising your Renown. Purchase a Pass in-game through the Pirate Log or Pirate Emporium, via the Pirate Emporium webpage or the Steam Item Store.
Season 13 Emissary Ledger Rewards
This Season, the Guild Emissary Ledgers offer the ‘Secrets of the Ancient Flame’ Painting, Dark Hand of Fate Ornament and Guild of Fiery Spirits Title to Guilds who represent them well and perform proudly in the Ledgers.
The Trading Company Emissary Ledgers have been refreshed this month with the previously lost Pocket Watches. Players can therefore now earn the Tribute Peak, Relic of Darkness, Merchant Ambassador, Masked Renegade and Magpie’s Glory Pocket Watches when reaching the top tier of the Ledgers. Players who have previously unlocked all rewards within the Ledgers will find these new Pocket Watches already in their Equipment Chests!
Chest of Fortune
The Chest of Fortune has now been locked away in the belly of the Burning Blade, challenging crews to sink this formidable ship to claim its prize.
Crews who retrieve Chests of Fortune can now earn the next Grade of the Fortune’s Favour Commendation, unlocking access to the Fates of Fortune Fishing Rod, Shovel, Pocket Watch, Tankard and Speaking Trumpet.
An additional reward has been retroactively added to Grade II of the Fortune’s Favour Commendation, which now contains the Fates of Fortune Gloves. Players who already earned Grade II prior to this update will be able to purchase the gloves from the Outpost clothing shops straight away.
Reaper’s Chests
Crews chasing down the telltale beacon of the Reaper’s Chest or Reaper’s Bounty can earn the next Grade of the Reaper’s Riches Commendation, and start unlocking access to the Fates of Fortune Hurdy-Gurdy, Concertina and Scar.
Pirate Emporium
Show off your personal style with purchases from the Pirate Emporium! Pick up exclusive cosmetics such as ship liveries, costumes, weapons, pets and emotes using your Ancient Coins, purchasable with real money. Head to the Pirate Emporium to browse and buy the latest additions!
