AK-225 — an Event Vehicle Gun Boat for the USSR at Rank V

The AK-225 was developed as a patrol gunboat for the USSR’s allies. This small, fast vessel with a tracking radar features an impressive armament loadout consisting of an automatic 57 mm cannon with armor-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation rounds.

How to get all rewards

Each stage can be completed for 35,000 mission points, every new stage you finish will give you a new reward.

Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Sea Defender” and click the “Get Reward” button.

You’re able to earn mission points in Naval Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade and Realistic Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on December 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and 15th.

Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages

  • For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward

  • For 2 Stages: one of the reward decals

  • For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward

  • For 4 Stages: one of the reward decals

  • For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward

  • For 6 Stages: “Flag of the naval units of the Border Troops of the USSR” ship flag

  • For 7 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the AK-225

Discounts for purchasing stages using Golden Eagles

Incomplete stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need 199 Golden
