A thick, impenetrable gloom enveloped the hangars, their silhouettes fading into the ominous twilight. The air turned still—dense and electric. In the distance, blood-curdling laughter echoed and scattered across the darkening sky.

• Event End: 🚩 November 3rd, 2026, 10:00 (GMT).

Battles on Galleons

Hey, gunner – pay attention! Enemy on the starboard side! Take aim... Fire! Holy Kraken, who shoots like that?! At this rate, we’ll soon turn into the “Flying Dutchman” instead of the best ship in these waters. I’ll have to take the helm myself and secure victory at any cost – after all, there are some great rewards at stake!

Win, earn the maximum number of Event Pass points, and make progress on your Tasks.

• You have one pirate galleon at your disposal.
• Ship repair and crew treatment are not provided.
• Aiming is performed not by “cross”, but from the side (left and right) – the cannons are located on both sides of the galleon. To shoot you need to turn to the enemy with the relevant board. Watch the white line – it indicates the direction of the shot and whether the shell will reach the selected enemy ship.
• Point at the enemy ship to see the information about the damage.

Important information

• You can use three types of ordnance to attack the enemy:
  • Shot – maximum range about 750 meters, standard damage.
  • Explosive shot – maximum range of about 750 meters, increased damage, reloading – 60 seconds.
  • Chain shot (a bunch of small shots) – range about 30 to 450 m, damages sails, reducing maneuverability and speed of the enemy, recharge – 40 seconds.
• You can fire from both boards if the opponents are on either side of you.
• New: You can set the height of the shot.

Race of the “Witches”

Take the controls of the legendary Po-2 and compete against other pilots in a thrilling test of speed and skill. Reach the finish line faster than the other racers to earn the maximum number of Event Pass points and make progress on your Tasks.

• Objective: Finish the aerial race course faster than all other competitors by flying through each checkpoint ring.
• If your aircraft is destroyed, it will respawn near the crash site so you can continue the race.
• Collect boosters found on or off the main route.

Important information

You can collect random power-ups as you fly through the track, each of them brings you closer to victory:

• Each power-up repairs your plane;
• A missile – when it hits an enemy, it slows them down; no more than 2 at a time;
• Defense – replenishes your supply of flares, which deflect enemy missiles targeting you, and activates an oil trail that limits your opponents’ visibility;
• Fuel – allows you to use your rocket engines for 10 seconds.
