EFV

An Event Vehicle Light Tank for the USA at Rank VI

In the early 2000s, General Dynamics developed several EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle) prototypes for a U.S. Marine Corps competition. The EFV’s main armament is a 30 mm Bushmaster automatic cannon with high-explosive fragmentation belts to destroy helicopters and attack aircraft, as well as APFSDS belts to destroy armored vehicles, including main battle tanks. One amazing feature of the EFV is that it has the highest speed on water among all ground vehicles in the game, up to 46 km/h! This gives EFV players great freedom in choosing the most unexpected tactics when using the vehicle on maps that have water.

Among the rewards in the event is also this chest. When opened, there is a chance of receiving one of the following items:

  • 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
  • Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
  • Random Wagers and Orders
  • Universal Backups (1 - 3)
  • A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
  • 1 day of Premium Account

How to get all rewards

Each stage can be achieved for 35,000 mission points, every new stage achieved will give you a new reward.

Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Semper Fidelis” and click the “Get Reward” button.

You’re able to earn mission points in Ground Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade, Realistic and Simulator Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on October 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16 and 18th.

Rewards are given when you complete a specific number of stages

  • For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
  • For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  • For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  • For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  • For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  • For 6 Stages: “EFV” profile background
  • For 7 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  • For 8 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the EFV
  • For 9 Stages: a unique camouflage and 4 random modifications for the EFV

Please note: You can only receive the modifications if the EFV is activated on your account.

Discounts on purchasing stages using Golden Eagles

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

The Upgrade for a coupon

When you complete 8 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the EFV, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from October 2nd (11:00 GMT) until October 20th (11:00 GMT) for 700,000 mission points.

After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.

To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon EFV (USA)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on October 24th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.

You can track the progress of completing stages and the “Upgrade for coupon” item by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Semper Fidelis. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, you can do so with Golden Eagles until October 24th from the Achievements window, which will give you the corresponding rewards.

By the way, @Stona_WT, the EFV will have adaptative horsepower or is it going to be capped at ~2 700HP in land as well in ground or is it going to be ~800HP in land and ~2 700HP in water?

I do see a lot of people not liking the Bushmasters, but I have multiple of the light tonks with the Bush’s and I have always done fine with them (30mm AND 35mm Bush’s.) ̶N̶o̶w̶,̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶̶t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶r̶t̶s̶,̶ EDIT: It has darts!!! BUT, on the Bush’s with darts I use darts for MBT’s, and change over to the APDS belts for other lights and SPAA’s. The APDS belts cause MUCH more spalling, and make it much easier to take out the soft targets. My results with the Bushmaster light tonks are universally ok/good/great.

Like the CV 9035DK, this is what I take for my loadout. AND a lot of people might not know that you can change to a different belt and not have to wait for your 1st belt to reload. SO, you can keep firing while in combat and wait to reload the main belt until later:

EDIT:

OH! that will be awesome! I highly recommend taking at least 2 different belt types so you can switch belts when your main belt runs out. Only takes about 1 second to change belts, rather than waiting for the main belt to reload 🙂
