The Shockwave update for Armored Warfare is one of the biggest updates to date and offers a wide range of new features for players. The update is divided into two parts, both of which will be rolled out in the coming weeks. The first part focuses on the new cooperative PvE endgame mode, which enriches the gameplay of Armored Warfare with an exciting new scenario.

The new mode, also known as Shockwave mode, allows players to hold their own in a Sudanese desert while defending a solar-powered water treatment plant against waves of enemy mercenaries. Five players form a team and face the ever-increasing challenges together, as each wave of attackers becomes stronger than the last. The true measure of success is survival - the aim is to hold out against the enemies for as long as possible.

This new mode for endgame content offers some special features. For example, it is only available for Tier 10 vehicles and there are no respawns. There is also no time limit, so the defenders only give up once they have been defeated or the base has been conquered. Enemy vehicles disappear immediately after being destroyed, so they cannot be used as cover. In addition, players cannot sign contracts or complete Battle Path missions during the mode.

The update also includes an overhaul of the PvP map "Pipelines", which should significantly improve the graphical quality. The game mechanics will not be changed, but only visual adjustments will be made. This is the first step in modernizing the graphical elements of the game, which will continue in the future.

Another highlight of Shockwave is the sound overhaul: vehicles such as the T-72 series will receive new engine sounds to further intensify the gaming experience. The dynamics in the game have also been enhanced, as the placement of the vehicle emblems can now be customized.

The second part of the Shockwave update will enrich the gaming experience with drones and anti-drone measures. Existing vehicles will be equipped with reconnaissance or attack drones, while other vehicles will receive additional air defense capabilities. This introduces a completely new style of play, with both tactical and strategic elements.

In addition to these major new features, the Shockwave update also includes numerous bug fixes and minor quality of life improvements for players. The Seahawks Battle Path, which is also part of the update, will give players even more in-game challenges to put their skills to the test.
