Get ready to duck and cover as Trouble in the Hot Tub is coming to the game, alongside the addition of Pan-American cruisers to Early Access and a celebratory campaign to mark two years in the Epic Games Store in the Update 12.2
23rd March – World of Warships is bringing the bubbles in its latest update! In celebration of April Fools Day, Trouble in the Hot Tub returns to the game, accompanied by plenty of rubber ducks. Nine Pan American cruisers will also arrive in the harbours of Early Access, alongside a special campaign where players can earn up to $20 to celebrate two years of World of Warships in the Epic Games Store.
Hot Tub battles are all they’re quacked up to be
Trouble in the Hot Tub is here, and with them come six rubber ducks to choose from! This includes two cruisers, two destroyers and two battleships. But, these rubber ducks aren’t a run-of-the-mill bath-time buddy — they come armed with splashy mines that explode upon contact with enemy ships. To heat things up, each class has a different stylised weapon, from high explosive and armour-piercing droplets to fizzy torpedoes. At the helm of these ships are special duck Commanders, ready to take on an opposing fleet in a seven-to-seven Domination Mode format to win the Trouble in the Hot Tub title.
As part of the fun, World of Warships is also partnering with Placid Plastic Duck Simulator on a collaborative DLC bundle available on Steam from the 23rd of March to 14th of April.
Nine new Pan American Cruisers in Early Access
Spanning Tier II-X, nine Pan-American cruisers come to Early Access on the 31st of March, the first tech tree of this faction with AP shells that have improved ricochet angles, and combat instructions accessible from Tier VI upwards which will speed up the reload time of consumables. These consumables include the “Specialized Repair Team” starting at Tier VI and “Surveillance Radar” available from Tier VIII. Though this range of ships has weaker armour, they are equipped with good concealment for a stealthy distance attack and operate best in medium and long-distance combat ranges.
Almost all of these ships are available through random and consecutive packs, though Tier VIII cruiser Ignacio Allende waits at the end of the Enhanced Battle Pass. Both Ignacio Allende and Tier IX Santander also have their own permanent camouflages available, with Mayan Mystery and Muisca Gold respectively.
For all players on Steam, a free DLC featuring the Tier II premium cruiser Almirante Abreu is also up for grabs until the 13th of April.
An Epic anniversary on the high seas
World of Warships marks two years in the Epic Games Store! To celebrate the occasion, starting on the 23rd of March new Epic Games Store players can go on an unprecedented Achievement hunt to receive up to $20 in their PayPal accounts. Obtain three different achievements across the four-week event, which range anywhere from winning battles to capturing enemy bases to rack up the value. Other ways that Warships will be celebrating include some hefty discounts on DLC and a Starter Pack: Ishizuchi DLC giveaway, and a combat mission marathon with a special Epic camouflage, patch and background waiting at the end for all players on this platform.
This update also brings a number of bug fixes, upgrades and balance changes across the game.
