The Last Waffenträger
The Last Waffenträger: General Setup
The Harriers face the Waffenträger auf E 110 in a special 7-vs-1 game mode on select maps as von Krieger’s creation is extremely powerful. Moreover, the Waffenträger, which is manned by a single player, has AI-controlled allies called Sentinels. These should be engaged first because at the start of a battle, the Harriers won’t be able to do much damage to the E 110. The T-55 Thunderbolt tanks need to boost their team’s power by using Energy Packs dropped by the last Sentinel of each group while also dodging the Waffenträger’s potent attacks and special abilities. In a single battle, a Harriers’ T-55 Thunderbolt tank has three ‘Lives’—meaning it will respawn twice.
The Last Waffenträger has two progressions: one for the Harriers and one for the Engineer. There is also a single event progression meter. Complete special battle missions to get unique event reward boxes called Footlockers. Harriers’ Footlockers and Engineer’s Footlockers contain items for completing one of the two event Collections and other in-game goodies. To fill the event progression meter and grab all the event rewards, you need to complete both Collections.
Special Footlockers
There are also Special Footlockers available in the Premium Shop during the event, both separately and as part of special bundles. Instead of holding a Collection item, Special Footlockers may contain one of sixteen Tier VIII Premium vehicles, including the T77, a brand-new American autoloader heavy tank. Additionally, Special Footlockers are guaranteed to hold in-game goodies.
The Reopen Mechanic
Like Harriers’ and Engineer’s Footlockers, Special Footlockers feature the newly introduced Reopen mechanic: you can “reroll” their contents, whereby the current contents is permently replaced, unless you choose to "reroll" again.
You’re guaranteed to receive 100 golds when you open a Special Footlocker for the first time.
Block:Please note that 100 is added to your account only once, and won’t apply if you reopen the same Special Footlocker for the second, third, etc. time.
Harriers’ and Engineer’s Footlockers can be reopened up to 3 times for Credits.
- For Harriers’ Footlockers, the first reopening costs 25,000, the second 50,000, and the third 100,000 Credits.
- For Engineer’s Footlockers, the respective costs are 50,000, 100,000, and 250,000 Credits.
Special Footlockers can be reopened up to 5 times for Gold.
- 100 for the first time, 250 for the second, and 500 for each of the rest.
Event Launch and Keys
Completing the Harriers’ missions will give you Keys, which are required to play as the Waffenträger auf E 110.
Random Battle Missions
At the start of the event, you can complete a special mission in Random Battles to earn one Key. The mission will become available when the event launches (i.e. before Prime Time starts) and it will remain active for 7 days. You need to win 5 Random Battles in Tier IV–X vehicles and be among the top 10 on your team by experience earned.
The Harriers
The T-55 Thunderbolt The Harriers’ battle hound is an extensively modernized T-55 benefiting from EM technology. The equipment installed allows the tank to absorb and store electrical charge to boost the damage of its main armament, especially by the end of the battle.
The basic attack of the T-55 Thunderbolt is the Shock Bolt, the power of which can be amplified over the course of the battle. Its Charge ability increases the tank’s mobility for a brief time and has a cooldown. Every T-55 Thunderbolt has 3 Lives (including the starting one), which means it can respawn two times in a single battle.
How to Play
Fight in packs and coordinate the team’s efforts as the chances of a single T-55 Thunderbolt defeating the Waffenträger are close to non-existent. Work together to destroy the Sentinels assisting the Waffenträger. The final vehicle of each Sentinel group (which can be located in different spots on the map) will leave an Energy Pack resembling a ball of lightning. Please keep in mind that each group of Sentinels differs in strength.
Driving into an Energy Pack will enhance the entire Harrier Squad, boosting the damage of all tanks, restoring part of their HP pools, and giving a bit more time to defeat the Waffenträger auf E 110. Be cautious though, as the big baddie may try to prevent you from collecting an Energy Pack.
The amount of electrical charge absorbed by the Harriers’ tanks is shown as Power Amplified. Once it’s maxed out, the Contact effect activates and the Waffenträger auf E 110 becomes completely visible for the rest of the battle, irrespective of distance and cover.
Also, remember that as the Harriers, you will be fighting against time. It is important to survive long enough for your tanks’ guns to reach full power, but if the timer runs out with the Waffenträger still operational, von Krieger will win. You need to promptly overcome the Sentinel groups to gain power and become able to deal with the Waffenträger E 110 itself.

The Waffenträger auf E 110
To ride in the mighty Waffenträger auf E 110, you need a special Key. These are awarded for completing Harriers’ missions and for reaching certain milestones of the event’s main progression meter. Keys will also be available as part of bundles in the Premium Shop during the event.
The Waffenträger auf E 110 gives you the feeling of overwhelming power, which is totally worth the effort of obtaining Keys. Max von Krieger transformed this already impressive vehicle into a lightning-spewing juggernaut. Even its basic Gungnir attack can take away well over half of a T-55 Thunderbolt’s entire HP pool. At the same time, the E 110 is capable of firing shots in rapid succession, just like an autoloader. The EMP Arrow special ability can slow and stun targets while the EMP Burst is a devastating area-of-effect weapon. The mighty pulse spreads from the Waffenträger in every direction, passing through obstacles and stunning every foe within its radius, damaging the nearest ones. The more enemies hit, the shorter the cooldown.
On top of that, the Waffenträger auf E 110 is immune to fire and damage to modules and tracks. Also, von Krieger placed several groups of AI-controlled Sentinel vehicles around the map that will assist you in spotting the Harriers and doing some damage (which increases towards the end of the battle).
How to Play
The first tip is to not get drunk on the Waffenträger’s power: it still can be defeated, so you must be attentive.
You can win either by eliminating the Harriers’ Lives or by surviving until the timer runs out. In the latter case, you win even if there are Harriers left. Eliminate opponents who are far from their Squad, protect your Sentinels, and deny your enemies the Energy they desperately need. And don’t be too proud to disappear from your foes’ view if needed!

Engineer’s Footlockers
Completing Engineer’s missions will earn you Engineer’s Footlockers with Engineer’s Collection Items: styles, camos, emblems, decals, inscriptions, and the von Krieger crew member skin. Also, Engineer’s Footlockers contain in-game goodies of one of several types. If you would like a reward of a different type, you can Reopen the Footlocker using credits (up to three times total).
As all Engineer’s Collection Items are unique (same as Harriers’ Collection Items), the Reopen option will be blocked when you receive a Collection Item from an Engineer’s Footlocker.
The Collections
Each Harriers’ or Engineer’s Collection item adds +1 to the event’s main progression meter. Every Collection item in both Collections is unique (so no need to Reopen Footlockers for them). Reaching certain milestones on the main progression meter will yield you prizes (including Keys) with the final reward being 3,000 bonds.
Block:You can also obtain Keys by completing Harriers’ missions, completing the special mission when the event launches, and as part of special bundles available in the Premium Shop. Also, there will be no compensation for unused Keys when the event ends.
The Maps
The exact location of von Krieger’s hideout is unknown to Headquarters. The Harriers are scouring Redshire, Studzianki, and Fishermen’s Bay for him and the last Waffenträger. The event versions of the maps are slightly modified, with extra terrain folds and buildings to create more cover options.

The Medals
Achieve at least one victory over the Waffenträger auf E 110 or the Harrier Squad, and you will be decorated with the corresponding medal. There’s a third one, but getting it requires a bit of luck as you need to defeat the special version of the “wonder weapon”—the Waffenträger auf E 220.

Short Circuit
The Waffenträger auf E 220
While you can take command of the Waffenträger auf E 110 with a special key, there is a version that only certain innocent Wargaming employees and content creators can unlock! The Waffenträger auf E 220 has the same stats as the E 110 but doesn’t bear the same loot.
It is a special version with a unique camouflage pattern so you can easily identify it, should you encounter it during the special Prime Times. If you and your team manage to triumph over the E 220, everyone on the team will receive a Special Footlocker! They contain even bigger rewards including Premium vehicles and a chance to get the new American heavy tank T77!
