addedWeek 3: The M60A1Week 3 is here. There's a new tank in the Battle Pass, this week's Twitch Drops open Wednesday, and sign-ups for our player party at gamescom start in a few days. Here's everything in one place. The M60A1 is the featured vehicle in this week's Battle Pass: a head-on brawler that charges through the front line and pins enemies down with twin .50-cal machine guns. Unlock it at Tier 3 and it's yours to keep. The rest of the Pass adds three paints (Concrete Dawn, Weathered, and Bunker Moss), two camos (Pale Steppe and Deepwood), a Vehicle XP booster giving +50% for 10 battles, 40,000 Credits across two tiers, and 100 Tech. The pass runs from June 8 (Mon) at 09:00 UTC through June 15 (Mon) at 09:00 UTC . One more thing: if you pick up the M60A1 here, this week's Twitch Drops have the Broadcast camo for it. More on that below.

changedWeek 3 Drops: A Booster Bundle and an M60A1 CamoWeek 3 Twitch Drops open June 10 (Wed) at 16:00 UTC and run through June 17 (Wed) at 16:00 UTC . There are two of them, and both are Direct Drops: claim on Twitch and the rewards land straight in your account with no in-game mission step. Watch 30 minutes: the Tech and XP Booster Bundle, with one Tech booster (+25% for 10 battles) and one Vehicle XP booster (+50% for 10 battles). Watch 120 minutes: the M60A1 Broadcast camo. Pick up the tank from the Battle Pass, grab the camo on Twitch. Full campaign details, account linking instructions, and the weekly schedule are all on the Twitch Drops page .

changedThe Wednesday streamThe weekly HEAT stream runs every Wednesday at 16:00 UTC , hosted by 121Remmy on the official Twitch channel . This week's stream opens at the same time as the Week 3 Drops, which is not a coincidence. Watching the stream counts toward your Twitch Drop time.

changedCommunity spotlight: a HEAT tier listContent creator Fishmanisnice put together a top-to-bottom tier list of HEAT's tanks. It's one player's opinion, of course, but it's an interesting look at tank balance and a fair reflection of where things currently sit. Watch the full tier list on YouTube. Agree? Disagree? Let us know on Discord what your S-tier tanks are. We want to hear it.
