FV225 Mk. BFG Meets Doom Slayer: World of Tanks Kicks Off DOOM Universe Crossover

Industrial guitar riffs echo through the Garage as tranquil landscapes yield to Martian outposts and crackling Argent energy. Wargaming has officially deployed its dedicated crossover chapter, fully themed around the legendary DOOM franchise. The high-tempo event runs for just 11 days — from October 1 to October 12, 2026 — challenging tank commanders to blast through 40 progression stages.

The crown jewel of the collaboration is the British heavy brawler, the FV225 Collector. Built around twin-gun mechanics that pay homage to the Slayer's iconic double-barreled super shotgun, the vehicle transforms completely under the exclusive FV225 Mk. BFG 3D style. The barrels glow with pulsing green BFG-9000 plasma conduits, rune-carved plating wraps the hull, and an authentic chainsaw hangs ready on the rear deck.

Character integration goes well beyond static portraits. Five fully voiced commanders join the recruitment pool:

• The Doom Slayer and The Betrayer — unlocked directly across the Chapter progression path, equipped with a baked-in zero-perk skill;
• Classic 1993 Doomguy — featuring authentic retro grunts and sound bites ripped directly from the DOS classic;
• UAC Director Samuel Hayden and Sentinel warrior Commander Thira.

Customization collectors can secure Praetor and Maykr themed 2D liveries alongside progressive 3D attachment sets spanning two distinct eras: the vintage "Doomguy's Keepsakes" and the modern "Fight Like Hell" combat harness.

Completing the full collection, however, is not a purely free-to-play endeavor. The 11-day time limit leaves little room for casual play, while the FV225 Collector hull and its BFG visual upgrade remain exclusive to the Improved Battle Pass track. Dedicated franchise enthusiasts hoping to enlist classic Doomguy or Samuel Hayden will inevitably need to open their gold reserves in the in-game shop to claim the full demonic arsenal.
