Another feature of «New Year’s Eve 2025» is «Winter Raid» — a brand new game mode where players can compete against each other in paper tanks. It transforms the battlefield into a festive board game-inspired arena full of icy challenges, festive sights, and plenty of holiday rewards.

Three teams of five will compete to collect and defend gifts using unique paper tanks, each with different roles and abilities. Commanders can earn gift coins to unlock rewards, including a brand new type of vehicle personalization — 3D body kit. Winter Raid will be available for three weekends starting December 13.
