Greetings, Commanders!
Arcade Cabinet is back, offering two tried and tested game modes: Element of Surprise and Railgun. Each will be live for one weekend, followed by a third weekend when both will be available at the same time.
Element of Surprise will increase the randomness of every shot, adding more unpredictability and excitement to your gameplay. In Railgun, you'll experience a significant boost in gun precision, spotting capability, and mobility for your vehicle, making battles more thrilling and fast paced.
Players will also have the opportunity to earn up to 1,200 while Arcade Cabinet is live. So, get ready for a wild ride and mark your calendars for the upcoming weekends!
Select Arcade Cabinet from the menu to the right of the “Battle!” button in your Garage. When hovering over the mode button, you’ll see a description of the combat modifiers to be applied in battle. Prepare for something completely different!
From March 17 at 10:00 CET through March 19 at 23:59 CET
From March 31 at 10:00 CEST through April 2 at 23:59 CEST
The damage spread in the standard rules of World of Tanks is a modest ±25%, which is certainly enough to stir up some powerful emotions. But what if we crank it up (or down) a bit? In Element of Surprise, the damage spread is ±75%, and there’s a much bigger chance of extremely low or extremely high damage values. Prepare for a ride on a swinging rollercoaster with some insane loops! (We are speaking figuratively here, of course.)
The damage spread is +/–75% of the standard value, and the probability of extreme values is increased.
Reload time is decreased by 25%.
Engine power is increased by 50%.

This mode lives up to its name, and makes you feel like you’ve landed in a sci-fi novel! The vehicles all keep their looks, but their guns become super-precise, with extremely low dispersion and fast aiming. Dispersion from vehicle movement and traverse is halved, so almost all shots get “snappy.” The proximity spotting distance goes up to 445 meters, meaning enemies won't be able to hide from you (or you from them). With a solid chance of hitting any opponent in plain sight, your tactical options become fantastic!
Gun dispersion at 100 m is reduced by 70%.
Gun dispersion during movement is decreased by 50%.
Gun dispersion on hull traverse is decreased by 50%.
Dispersion on turret traverse is decreased by 50%.
Aiming time is decreased by 50%.
Engine power is increased by 100%.
Proximity spotting range is increased to 445 meters.
Although Element of Surprise and Railgun have different battle modifiers, their key rules are the same:
While each of the modes is active, you can complete a short chain of battle missions and earn some bonds (up to 1,200 in total).
Battle Mission | Conditions | Reward |
---|---|---|
Step I | Win two battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time | 100 |
Step II* | Win three battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time | 100 |
Step III* | Win five battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time |
200 |
Prepare for two more ways to play, Commanders!
