NEW UNITS
Shockwave Trooper
Shockwave Troopers are elite GDI ground troops armed with miniaturized Disruptor technology. Although less powerful than the Disruptor, the Shockwave Troopers’ lower cost and ability to be deployed from the Barracks has made them a staple among GDI infantry forces.
Tick Tank
The Tick Tank is a Nod Battle Tank specialized for defensive operations. When stationary, it has the ability to entrench in the ground, reducing the amount of damage taken. The Tick Tank’s unique Baryshnikov Dual-Drive tread system allows for both high speed transit and the ability to entrench in the ground, heavily reducing the amount of damage taken from incoming enemy fire.

FEATURES
Player Profile
All players now have a Player Profile where they can track their progress. You can also view the profile for friends and Alliance members.
The player profile contains information in a variety of sections:
· Overview
o General information like your Name and Alliance
o Your current League and Medals for GDI and Nod
o Your Player Level and progress towards your next level
o Your ‘Weekly Best’, personal stats for the four stats broadcasted in the C&C Network
o A display of your favorite unit per faction, feel free to choose!
o The total number of victories over your career
o Your highest Medal count ever, and per faction
· Armies - can filter by GDI and Nod
o Currently equipped Army and previously used Armies
o Battle counts and win rates with those armies
· Match History
o A re-imagination of the Battle Log. Watch replays, and save up to five in your ‘Favorites’
· Collection
o A complete view of all units you currently own, and all available units
· Seasons
o Seasons last a month and tracks number of wins and highest Medal count per faction
Monthly Seasons
Each month, there will be a new season. Seasons track the number of wins and Medal count for each faction. The highest medals achieved each month will be memorialized in the Player Profile (see above).
The first Monday of each month, players that have a faction in the Tiberium League will have that faction’s medals reset to 3,700. If you have both factions in the Tiberium League, both factions will have their Medals reset to 3,700.
Leagues & League Progression
We are replacing Sectors with Leagues and divisions. Your League and division will be prominently displayed all throughout the game, letting you show off your accomplishments. The Leagues and ranked rewards are fully visible from the start, making it easy to plan your player journey.

Rivals Fairplay
Our goal is to create fun, fair and competitive matches for all our players. With our Rivals Fairplay features, players can join a battle confident that their match will be enjoyable.
- Unit Level Caps: Within each rank there will be a unit level cap. If the unit level is above the cap, the unit will be temporarily down-leveled to the cap
- Training League: Unit Level 5
- Iron League: Unit Level 6
- Bronze League: Unit Level 7
- Silver League: Unit Level 8
- Gold League: Unit Level 9
- Platinum League: Unit Level 10
- Diamond League: Unit Level 11
- Master League: Unit Level 13
- Tiberium League: Unit Level 15
- Win Streaks: When you hit your third consecutive win, you’ll automatically receive 2x the normal Medals for that match and will continue to receive double Medals until you lose
- Progressive Milestones (Safe Spots): Once you reach a new rank (moving from Silver to Gold, for example), you cannot lose your way back to the prior rank.
- Challenge Battles: If you are in a Challenge Battle and are at a disadvantage, you will not lose Medals if you lose the match and will win double Medals if you win! If the Challenge Battle is in your favor, you’ll gain or lose Medals as normal.

Bounties System
We have reworked the bounty system to give players a consistent expectation of what is required to maximize their daily rewards.
- Changed bounty tasks to make it more predictable how long it will take to complete each task
- Removed Common and Uncommon Crates as bounty rewards. A Rare Crate is awarded for completing 5 bounty tasks
- Progress towards the next Rare Crate is saved after the daily reset
- Added ability to reroll Specialist bounties with Fuel
Find out more behind the bounty system changes here.
Fuel and Crates
We realize that players have different play styles - some people play a few battles at a time over the course of the day, while some will sit down, focus and play a ton of battles in a row. We want the crate system to be flexible enough to support both play styles.
Changes to how Fuel is earned:
- Fuel earn rates have doubled. Players will earn 2 Fuel for a victory and 1 Fuel for a defeat
- Maximum Fuel storage will increase from 4 to 10

ECONOMY/MONETIZATION CHANGES
STORE CHANGES
Crate Tab
Up until now, the Crates available in the Crate tab in the Store have been confusing. The number of Cards and Credits in Rare and Epic Crates increased with Player Level, and so their prices grew in parallel with this increase in value.
We have created three new Crates that are only available in the store and provide more clarity and control over what you purchase.
- GDI and Nod Faction Crates
- The GDI Crate is available immediately, and the Nod Crate is available after unlocking Nod at Player Level 4
- Both Crates contain 1,500 Credits and 30 Cards of the specified Faction (21 Common, 8 Rare, 1 Epic) for 350 Diamonds
- There is no additional randomness in these Crates; you will receive the resources specified above every time
- Colossal Crate
- This crate is available once you unlock Nod
- This Crate contains 6,000 Credits and 120 Cards (85 Common, 30 Rare, 5 Epic) from any Faction.
- There is no additional randomness to this Crate; you will receive the resources specified above every time.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed various, highly occurring crashes
