TR: Welcome to Season 13! Clan Help System, Elite Nimr L6 Stats Blueprints – January 10th Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Welcome to Season 13

Welcome to Season 13! Going into the new season, all Leaderboards and PvP Points are reset, meaning that it’s a fresh start for YOUR Clan to be the new the dominating Clan of Gundar, and win the Seasonal Clan Tournament Grand Prize of 10,000 Gold for your Clan at the end of the Season in 3 months from now. Does your Clan have what it takes?

Clan Building/Research Help System

🎢Gonna get by with my friends, ah, with a little help from my friends…🎡 hmm? Oh, sorry Commander, had that stuck in my head. First off, Happy Holidays! Second: Good news! We’ve received a software update for our command and control systems that allows us to get construction and research help from our clan mates. Any time you want to speed up a project, just ask for help. If ten clan members chip in, you’ll get a nice chunk of time shaved off.

  • You can now ask your clan mates for help with projects up to a certain number of times per day
  • Daily cap is tied to the Transmitter level. A level 10 transmitter can request help up to four times per day
  • Future Transmitter levels will raise this cap.
  • Clan members must be on the same multiplayer map to use this feature. Group up and dominate, Commander!

Elite Nimr L6 Stats Blueprints

The Elite Nimr L6 Stats Blueprint is now available in the Event Prizes store, allowing you to upgrade the Nimr’s Health, Damage, Mine Defense, and Blast Defense stats to Level 6. Unlock the blueprint as part of this week’s ONP Event by spending ONP in the Event Prizes store!

Good hunting, Commanders!

TR: Level 13 Sniper Upgrade, End of Season 12 Clan Tournament – January 3rd Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Level 13 Sniper Upgrade

Your Riflemen, Machine Gunners, Mortarmen and even Panzers have already reported for their L13 training. Don’t you think it’s time to let your Snipers hone some training opportunities into their sights?

As with other recent L13 Infantry releases, your L13 Sniper will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The Level 13 Sniper upgrade requires a blueprint that can only be purchased during Hardware Event Weeks in the Hardware Prize Store. We will continue to release similar levels in this catch-up mechanic boost to more core units going forward. Good hunting, Commanders!

End of Season 12 Clan Tournament

From January 3rd – January 10th, rally your Clan and head to the regional map for your chance to be the strongest Clan of Season 12!

TR: New Elite Nimr Unit – December 27th Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Elite Nimr Blueprints

The grease monkeys have been going bananas, Commander. They tweaked some of our Nimr rigs and gave them a shiny new coat of red paint. Not only do you have the desert optimization and anti-armor missiles you’ve grown to love, but we also can knock choppers out of the sky. The mechanics wanted to challenge our troops. It isn’t enough to just obtain the blueprint. There are sub-components you can use to soup up your ride. But beware. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

  • The Elite Nimr features enhanced stats over the Nimr, and can fire upwards! Choppers beware.
  • Unlock Level 6 before the event week ends, or be capped at Level 5! The blueprint and sub-component are cheaper to help out with this.
  • You will have enough time to unlock all five levels before the event ends, so long as you crush your enemies and obtain ONP quickly.

If you miss out on the unlock, never fear. We will be fully unlocking the Elite Nimr later next year for players who don’t complete the upgrades on time. Your technological edge will only last so long, so you’d better take advantage of it!

Get to the ONP Store now to start unlocking your Elite Nimr blueprints & sub-components. After your Elite Nimr hits L5, make sure you return to the ONP store to buy the (free) L6 Blueprint before the ONP Event ends on January 3rd, 2019.

Good hunting, Commanders!

TR: Level 13 Javelin Gunner – December 20th Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Level 13 Javelin Gunner

Tanks on the horizon, and it’s raining missiles, hallelujah! Our Javelin Gunner crews have hit the gym and retooled their launchers. Their combat effectiveness has never been higher. Updates include:

  • ~50% boost in hit points and DPS

Hop on over to the Hardware Store to unlock these, while supplies last! They’ll be back again next week, but why wait? Let the enemy tankers enjoy a little misery, courtesy of your new L13 Javelin Gunners.

TR: Landmine Improvements – December 13th Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Landmine Improvements

You’d think digging a hole in the ground and tossing in a bomb was an easy task, but linking our mines to our command and control systems has always proven a little difficult. Fortunately, our engineers have managed to squeeze more minefields into our network, and have improved the power of our anti heavy-armor mines. Shall I give the order to start building?

Updates Include:

  • Minefield limit raised by 2.
  • Anti Heavy Armor Mine level cap raised to 10.

If you already have Level 5 Anti Heavy Armor Mines, you can start upgrading to Level 6 right away. Level 7 requires a Level 7 Weapons Lab. The new minefield size limit requires a Level 14 Weapon Factory.

Good hunting, Commanders!

TR: L13 Machine Gunner – December 6th, 2018

New this week in Thunder Run:

Level 13 Machine Gunner

Your infantry are following the lead set by your Riflemen. Now it’s your Machine Gunners who are reporting for duty with some improved toys and honed skills. Duck and cover, Gundar!

As with the Riflemen and Mortarmen, your L13 Machine Gunners will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The Level 13 Machine Gunner upgrade requires a blueprint that can only be purchased during Hardware Event Weeks in the Hardware Prize Store. We will continue to release similar levels in this catch-up mechanic boost to our core units.

TR: Turret Limit Increase – November 29th Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Turret Limit Increase

I hope you participated in the land grab, Commander, because our architects report that they are ready to deploy more turrets than before. Naturally, we’ll be boosting our generator capacity too to keep up with demand.

Updates Include:

  • Max number of Turret Emplacements increased by 4.
  • Turret head type limits increased by 1 for each type (applies to blueprint-based turret heads and the TOW)
  • Generator max level is raised to L19 to support the power requirements for extra turrets

To take advantage of these new limits, upgrade your TOC to level 11 and start building!

TR: Level 13 Mortarmen, Hot Black Friday Sales Coming Soon – November 22nd Patch Notes

New this week in Thunder Run:

Level 13 Mortarmen

Your infantry are following the lead set by your Riflemen. Now it’s your Mortarmen who are reporting for duty with some improved toys and honed skills. Duck and cover, Gundar! There’s even some talk that a few of these Mortarmen might be aiming for the title of “Elite”, but they aren’t quite there yet.

As with the Riflemen, your L13 Mortarmen will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The Level 13 Mortarman upgrade requires a blueprint that can only be purchased during Hardware Event Weeks in the Hardware Prize Store. We will continue to release similar levels in this catch-up mechanic boost to our core units.
