Metal Fest 2026 arrives in World of Tanks Modern Armor as part of the new Masters of Mayhem season, with heavy‑metal outfit Five Finger Death Punch headlining Act 1 from August 4 through August 24. The event adds two band‑inspired premium tanks—a frontline heavy called the Knucklehead and the Iron Fist tank destroyer—plus a fully voiced 3D Commander modeled on the group’s mascot, voiced by lead singer Ivan Moody.
Selecting the Knucklehead tanks triggers the band’s current chart‑topper “Eye Of The Storm,” while the Iron Fist plays the 2017 hit “Trouble.” Both vehicles feature distinctive brass‑knuckle motifs, battle‑worn artwork and, in the case of the Iron Fist, a battery of oversized missiles. The event also brings back the “Rush The Stage” mode, a fast‑paced 7v7 battle on a Metal Fest‑themed Ghost Town map complete with concert stages, lighting rigs and destroyable taco trucks that grant bonus medals.
After a one‑week pause, a second headliner for Act 2 will be announced on September 1. Players can earn discounts, exclusive cosmetics and discover hidden Easter eggs throughout the festivities. More details are available at modernarmor.worldoftanks.com.
