    The mission system has also been revamped. Missions are now completable with any Tier 4–10 vehicle, and boosters are no longer tied to completing them. Players can progress at their own pace or take on tougher challenges for exclusive prizes:

  • Unique skins for completing each of the four mission chains
  • 5 Mercenary Loot Crates per completed chain (first three)
  • 15 Mercenary Loot Crates for finishing the final, most difficult chain
