The Reign of Steel update transforms battlefield engagements with new vehicle features and tactics. Players can now:
- Man machine gun turrets on tanks and vehicles for defensive firepower.

New Game Mode: Frontline
Frontline combines the best aspects of Invasion, Offensive, and RAAS modes. Attackers advance by completing randomized objectives—from capturing posts to demolishing strategic assets. This unpredictability forces real-time adaptation, keeping battles tense and engaging.
