What's at Stake?

Its small size and high camo values ​​help it sneak up on reckless adversaries. Equipped with a fast and furious two-round autoloader, the Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque can deal 720 damage in a matter of seconds and make a quick escape, like a whirlwind. But after a short reload (22 seconds), it is ready to sting enemies again without mercy! This Stormbringer is great for fans of an aggressive and assertive playstyle.

3D-Style With a Hint of Past Triumphs

The brand-new Bat.-Châtillon Bourrasque comes with an elegant snow-white custom style. The scuff marks and traces of sand on it are testament to the numerous perils this fearless warrior has survived.

Two Ways to Reap the Rewards

The concept of the Bourrasque Challenge will be familiar to those of you who took part in last year’s Renegade Challenge. The event lasts 10 days and involves 10 consecutive stages. To make the challenge more enjoyable, there are two ways to earn rewards. Both sets of tasks can be fulfilled simultaneously (given all conditions are met).

  • Missions for Commitment: The best option for players with a strong desire to get their hands on the Grand Prize. The diverse task conditions must be met using Tier VI–X vehicles. Remember: your result only counts if you are one of the top ten XP earners on your team at the end of a battle, no matter whether your team wins or loses.
  • Missions for Mastery: You can perform alternative, but more complex tasks. Fulfilling these objectives saves you time, but you must give your all to succeed. You can only complete these tasks using Tier X machines.
