- The character Rampage will receive a skin based on the Russian flag.*
- The character Clunker will receive a skin based on the French flag.*

- The character Windrider will receive a skin based on the Brazilian flag.*
Players old and new should also keep their eyes on Heavy Metal Machine’s official social media channels (Facebook, Twitter), Steam page, Discord, and its in-game messaging, as Hoplon will be announcing several opportunities to earn extra XP during the event. The developer will also be setting challenges for players, successful completion of which will provide a glimpse at new characters coming soon to the extreme world of Heavy Metal Machines.
Heavy Metal Machines is currently in open beta and is available for free via its official website or Steam.
