The Numbers Behind the Closed Beta

May 1, 2026 | HEAT Team

The Closed Beta is over. We finally got to the numbers behind it, and they've got a lot to say. Over the course of the test, the battlefields always stayed packed, and some vehicles clearly became a little too popular for their own good. Fighting styles and strategies were constantly evolving, from cautious early experiments to full-send onslaughts that pushed the systems harder than intended.

It was a great reminder that once players start experimenting, new patterns emerge fast, and sometimes in ways that are impossible to predict. It just takes thousands of battles happening all at once.

Two key numbers:

  • 156,880 battles fought

  • 7,990,587 minutes in combat

That turned into 14.1 billion damage dealt, 4.1 million eliminations, and 4.3 million assists across the battlefield.

The AMX10 RC took the spotlight as the most played vehicle and, for better or worse, also ended up as the most destroyed. Sometimes, popularity comes at a cost.

Hound led the field as the most picked Agent.

Conquest was the most played mode, with Aircraft Carrier claiming the top battleground spot.

And the highest single-battle damage reached 93,804. Someone clearly had a very good day.

Now, this was the Closed Beta. It's got us even more excited to see what happens when everyone comes back fully armed upon release.

Stay tuned for more.
