Sometimes technological revolutions happen almost unnoticed, in the quiet of laboratories and engineering bureaus. But this revolution was different. It made a bold statement in the muddy trenches, with roaring shells flying overhead. One hundred ten years ago, on September 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, an armored combat vehicle—only recently named 'tank'—rolled into battle for the first time in history.
Although the Mark I Male was slow and unreliable, it managed to break through solid defenses and wreak havoc among enemy troops, changing warfare forever. Touch this historic moment! Take part in the Origin: 1916 event to collect a heap of rewards and, most importantly, the Mark I Male—the legendary tank itself!
How to Get Rewards
It's simple! Fight in Tier IV–X vehicles and get 4 Lanterns for every victory. From there, it's a matter of technique. Use Lanterns to complete six main stages with rewards: resources, camouflage, and the Origin: 1916 profile background. They'll unlock the path to the final stage, where you'll receive the main reward—the legendary Mark I Male!
Want to claim more loot? Exchange Lanterns for additional rewards on the event screen. They include resources, camouflage, and Emergency Containers. These will drop resources and Gold, and may contain a random Tier I–IV Collector or Premium vehicle!
