World of Tanks brings down the hammer on consoles

Break it down! Wargaming continues the celebrations for 100 Years of Tanks with Update 3.2 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox 360, featuring a new challenge event: "Hammer Strike". Players can earn the powerful Pz.VI Tiger I "Hammer" heavy tank, adorned in an exclusive German camouflage, by competing in a series of timed challenges. Along with this new and first of its kind challenge event, the update adds three new maps—Ruinberg Winter, Scorpion Pass and Ardennes, exclusive to console.

During the event, tankers can participate in the limited-time "Hammer Strike" challenge ops, by earning a set amount of points in five separate locked tasks. Points will be earned for performing well in battle and will be tracked on their progress bar. Players will be rewarded after each challenge is completed with a variety of prizes including XP, Premium Account time, and the ultimate reward, the Tiger I "Hammer" tank and "Victor's" Medal.

The update will also include two single-player PvE missions based on the historical events of Tunisia and Kursk, and once completed using the Tiger I "Hammer", will unlock the "Hammer" medal. Each PvE campaign's difficulty is scaled based on the vehicle, and will become more challenging at higher tiers. Additionally, Ruinberg Winter, Scorpion Pass and Ardennes are now available on all console platforms and feature a variety of terrain including snowy, frozen-over cities and treacherous desert landscapes.
