Intro

Brace for impact! The "Shock and Awe" Campaign featuring Tier VII Premium destroyer ZF-6 is here! This captured French destroyer hull has been rebuilt with German tech and weaponry and is ready for you to command. In a sense, she’s a hybrid destroyer that can surprise the enemy with her fast torpedoes and high-velocity guns.

This Campaign comprises 100 milestones spread over 5 weeks like most Campaigns, and it also has a catch-up mechanic. This means that you can theoretically finish the entire Campaign in the last week, but we certainly don’t recommend attempting that! There’s also a set of Heroic Effort missions that are separate from the Weekly Havoc. Completing the Heroic Effort missions will give you enough Renown to finish the Campaign in the fourth week. Pace yourself and play throughout the Campaign to make the most of it!

The "Shock and Awe" Campaign in a nutshell:

• 100 milestones over 5 weeks.
• A catch-up mechanic.
• Endurance Trials 1–3 utilize Tier III–VII ships and Legendary-Tier ships, and they can be completed in battles vs. AI; Shakedown Trials 4–5 can only be completed in Standard Battles for Tiers IV–VII and for the Legendary Tier. All missions for each week can be completed simultaneously.
• A separate Heroic Effort mission card is going to be available throughout the Update (these missions can be completed INDEPENDENTLY from regular Campaign missions).
• Completing all the Heroic Effort missions will result in you completing the Campaign a week early.

Please note: after you complete the Campaign, you can complete the Endless Trials for Steel Badges. You can find more information on that at the bottom of this article.
