What Would You Do On a Klondike Map?

If you think winter is the time to retreat indoors with the heat cranked up, get ready for the Tier X action on Klondike. It gets real hot on this new winter map when two teams lock horns in Grand Battles. Excited? Let's explore it together and learn how to snipe, splatter, and slay opponents battling in the deceptively serene North American wilderness!

Welcome to Klondike

Inspired by the adventure writing of Jack London, Klondike brings tank battles to North America, where dirty streets and crusty clapboard buildings of a mining settlement tell the story of the Gold Rush. Don't be distracted by the tranquility of the cold weather, though. Lone cabins, snow-sprinkled hill roads, and dusty riverbanks will reverberate with the sounds of battle when a firefight is in full turmoil.

Routes & Positions

Teams start in the southwestern and northeastern corners of the map, with three spawn points each, and three routes leading to enemy territory. Head north to a small mining town and attack the river bridge in the center, or venture into the abandoned settlement on an island to the south.

Whichever direction you defend or attack, stay focused on points of interest located in no man's land between the two camps. Expect to battle hard for these areas: claiming them provides a tactical advantage over nearby land. Once you have control over points of interest, move on to capture the enemy's defensive positions.

Mining Town

The town to the north features lots of corridors, buildings, and tight spaces, making it a go-to spot for heavy tanks and other well-armored vehicles.

Class-By-Class Strategy

• If you rolled into town in a heavy tank, stay alert and always keep an eye out for bypass roads. Losing sight of them might leave you under fire from a sneaky opponent who closed in and now keeps sending shell after a shell your way.


• Mobile medium and light tanks should stick to the bypass roads to catch enemies off guard and provide cover for allies.


• If playing as a scout, support the team by detecting enemies who venture to the heart of the conflict.


• The likes of the Grille 15 and Strv 103B can support a push by wearing down enemies from defensive positions on the map's edges. If set up properly, snipers and SPGs that are likely to lay low there can greatly change the tide of the battle by stopping tanks dead in their tracks.

Klondike requires tactful teamwork—fight shoulder-to-shoulder and wisely use the advantages of each vehicle class to take over the north! And don’t forget to tell us about your experiences.
