Commanders!
Once again, the time has come for massive battles on giant maps, featuring respawns, artillery strikes, smoke screens, and a good dose of strategizing. Of course, we’re talking about the upcoming second launch of Frontline 2022. We have extended the mode from August 20 through 29 meaning it will be available for nine days instead of the usual seven. Let’s see what's in store this time around!
Frontline 2022: Second Launch
EU: August 20, 2022, at 06:00 CEST through August 29, 2022, at 03:00 CEST (UTC+2)
NA: August 20, 2022, at 04:00 PT | 06:00 CT | 07:00 ET through August 29, 2022, at at 01:00 PT | 03:00 CT | 04:00 ET
ASIA: August 20, 2022, at 07:00 UTC+8 through August 29, 2022, at 04:00 UTC+8
Single-Tier Battles
Last time, a lot of players enjoyed playing Frontline exclusively in Tier VIII vehicles. In this second launch, we are keeping the good old formula of single-tiered battles, so get your favorite Tier VIIIs ready! If you do not have one of your own, try a rental Tier VIII vehicle. You can even get your hands on the Tiger II FL and M41 Bulldog FL, now available for rent.
More Rewards, Including Unique Ones
After the first launch of Frontline 2022, we realized that we should up the rewards for the epic 30v30 battles on extra-large maps. We’ve reworked the Frontline rewards, tied them to the mode progression, increased their number, and even added some unique ones.
- The progression itself now consists of 20 Stages (instead of 15). Upon reaching every Stage, you will earn valuable goodies.
- You can earn bonds (up to 975 in total) for completing certain progression Stages.
- When receiving directives as a reward, you will be able to choose your favorite type from an expanded list that now includes Pre-Battle Maintenance, Optical Calibration, and Aim Tuning.
- A Training Manual (the Crew Book providing 250K Crew XP) has been added to the reward pool.
- Retraining Orders are a new in-game item that can only be obtained as a Frontline mode reward. Use yours to change the skills and/or perks of a crew without a penalty.
Quick Combat Reserves
For the second launch of Frontline 2022, we have decided to make Combat Reserves easier to use. We are curious to try this out and see how it affects the gameplay!
- Once the battle starts, the time before you can use a Combat Reserve has been halved.
- Combat Reserves can be used immediately after you respawn (the minimum time before the respawn is 5 seconds).
- Combat Reserves can be used immediately after you unlock them for reaching a new rank.
We are excited for your feedback on quick Combat Reserves!
Revised Rental Vehicle Roster
As usual, rental vehicles will be available for the duration of Frontline (which is now 9 days) and they can only be used in this mode. These vehicles are all “clones” of their respective researchable Tier VIII counterparts and come with the best modules installed. Crews from vehicles of the same nation and type can be transferred on and off them for free and without penalty.
- Tiger II FL
- T-44 FL
- AMX AC mle. 48 FL
- M41 Walker Bulldog FL
At the beginning of the mode launch, you will be able to obtain Frontline rental vehicles for 250,000 credits each in the Frontline section of the in-game Store. This price will go down as the event progresses.
| EVENT DAY | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discount | 0% | 5% | 10% | 15% | 30% | 50% | 75% | 85% | 85% |

But Wait, There’s More…
We have implemented a score of minor changes to Frontline, including brand-new voice messages about various events on the battlefield, an upgrade to the Frontline widget to display your progress and the rewards you still have to collect, and some interface improvements for your convenience.
Enjoy your Frontline adventures, Commanders, and share your stories with us!
