Week one

Season 1, "Lost Eden," went live on 01.07, and its first full week is already in motion. Battle Pass 1 is live now and runs through 02.09. Our newest Agent, Flair, and her two Leopard tanks are in. The new map, Eden, is live alongside them, and the first Season 1 Twitch Drops have been running on Twitch.

Here's what's happening this week.

The Leopard 2FK Broadcast Camo

This week's Drop is the one to watch for. From Wednesday 08.07, 16:00 UTC through Wednesday 15.07, 16:00 UTC, tuning into HEAT on Twitch earns you two rewards.

Weekend Showdown

Mark the calendar for Friday 10.07, 12:00 UTC, when Weekend Showdown opens and runs through Monday 13.07, 12:00 UTC.

It's three standalone competition days, each ranking a different skill. Day 1 ranks Kills + Assists, Day 2 ranks Damage, and Day 3 ranks In-match Score, so however you like to play, you'll get a day that suits you.

The one rule to know: only your best single PvP battle of the day counts. Play once, play fifty times, it doesn't matter, a better result simply replaces your old one. Every vehicle gets its own leaderboard, with the Top 25 earning Tech rewards each day.

No minimum battles, just your best game standing tall. Full rules land closer to launch.

Getting good with Flair

If you're looking to sharpen your play with Flair and her tanks, a "how to get good" deep dive on her playstyle lands Thursday. No spoilers here, just something to look out for.

The Quality of Life Update

There's a Quality of Life Update in active development too. As our Game Director laid out in his Word From the Game Director, it bundles up changes built straight from your feedback: the ability to test drive any tank before you buy, a Credits boost for every player, and a settings toggle to skip Ultimate cinematics and keep control of your tank. We don't have a date locked yet, but it's coming soon.

Good luck on the Weekend Showdown leaderboards, and see you on stream.
