Gundar Arms Industries is rolling out a new set of Unit Equipment for the Elite Mortarman, available this week on the front page of the Event Prizes Store:
Elite Mortarman Laser Sights I – Laser homing technology that increase range by +3%
Elite Mortarman Ballistic Armor MK I – Improved armor coating reduces damage taken by -10%
Elite Mortarman AP Ammunition I – The newest grade armor-piercing ammunition increases damage by +7%
Tanks on the horizon, and it’s raining missiles, hallelujah! Our Javelin Gunner crews have hit the gym and retooled their launchers. Their combat effectiveness has never been higher.
As with the previous infantry level increases, your L14 Javelin Gunners will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.
Hop on over to the Hardware Store to unlock these, while supplies last! They’ll be back again next week, but why wait? Let the enemy tankers enjoy a little misery, courtesy of your new L14 Javelin Gunners.

Alpha L4 Security Team Updates
We’ve made some tweaks to the Alpha Force class of Level 4 Security Teams. Units that deploy when a building is approached are now called “Response Teams”, while units that deploy when a building is destroyed will remain as “Security Teams”. Alpha Force now has both a Response Team (the previously-existing deployment) and a Security Team. The Security Team will persist even if the attacking enemy retreats.
The L4 members of the Alpha Force Security Team will now deploy a half-strength version of the Security Team, but because they persist when the enemy retreats – the updated Security Team still receives an effective 50% boost in total power.
The Elite Mortarman L6+ Stat Mod Blueprint is now available in the Event Prizes store, allowing you to upgrade the Elite Mortarman’s Health, Damage, Mine Defense, and Blast Defense stats to Level 6. Unlock the blueprint as part of this week’s ONP Event by spending ONP in the Event Prizes store!
Level 15 Warehouse
Did you enjoy our last round of quality of life upgrades to the Warehouse last month? More updates to the Warehouse are here! Effective today: upgrade your Warehouse to Level 15 to boost your item space storage to a whopping 100 items.
And we’re still not done with the Warehouse yet! Stay tuned for even more Warehouse “quality of life” upgrades coming soon!
Your infantry are following the lead set by your Riflemen. Now it’s your Machine Gunners who are reporting for duty with some improved toys and honed skills. Duck and cover, Gundar!
As with the Riflemen and Mortarmen, your L14 Machine Gunners will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.
The Level 14 Machine Gunner upgrade requires a blueprint that can only be purchased during Hardware Event Weeks in the Hardware Prize Store.
Starting Saturday July 13th at 8am GMT, until Monday July 15th at 8am GMT: enjoy an extra buffed global 10% boost on all earned ONP for a limited time!
Would you like to see us do these types of weekend based boosts more often? What do you guys think about us doubling the bonus from 5 – 10%? Let us know over on our Thunder Run Discord Server.

Welcome to Season 15! Going into the new season, all Leaderboards and PvP Points are reset, meaning that it’s a fresh start for YOUR Clan to be the new the dominating Clan of Gundar, and win the Seasonal Clan Tournament Grand Prize of 10,000 Gold for your Clan at the end of the Season in 3 months from now. Does your Clan have what it takes?
Elite Mortarman
It’s time to go long, Commanders! Long bomb inbound!
Amongst all the new training regimens recently made available to several of our top Infantry in the form of expanded level caps, an all new unit class has emerged, and is available now. Say hello to the Elite Mortarman!
Features Include:
The Elite Mortarman fields a powerfully-boosted Heavy Mortar to rain maximum damage upon Infantry, Turret Emplacements, and Armor units.
Improved warheads deal additional damage over time, shell-shocking vehicles and blinding infantry.
You see those damage numbers, Commander? You can just double that in your mental tally. These warheads have a napalm surprise for anything caught in the blast zone, and will burn your enemies to a crisp if they survive the initial impact. Any unit caught in the splash area experiences the same DPS on a 3-second fire damage over time effect, even if they were only in the fringe of the blast. That’s 6400 DPS for anything caught dead center. I hope your enemies have a good burn ward.
If you don’t obtain the L7 Blueprint before the ONP Event ends, you will be capped at L6 until the Blueprint returns. The Blueprint and Sub-components are cheaper to help out with this, and you will have enough time to unlock all seven levels before the event ends, so long as you crush your enemies and obtain ONP quickly.
If you miss out on the unlock, never fear. We will be fully unlocking the Elite Mortarman later this year for players who don’t complete the upgrades on time. Your technological edge will only last so long, so you’d better take advantage of it!
Elite M109 Level 2 Unit Equipment
In addition to the updates made to the Elite M109 earlier this week, Gundar Arms Industries is also rolling out upgradeable weapons technologies. Purchase more Level 1 equipment sets in the ONP Store, and combine the parts in the Weapons Factory to make all new Level 2 sets!
Elite M109 Laser Sights II –AN/PEQ-2 IR Laser Sight technology that increases range by 5%
Elite M109 Ballistic Armor MK II –Improved kevlar that reduces damage taken by 10%
Elite M109AP Ammunition II –The newest grade armor-piercing ammunition that increases damage by 10%
Collect the entire Level 2 Unit Equipment set to boost your Unit Equipment bonuses even higher!

This text based live chat is a great opportunity for you the players to connect with Thunder Run game developers and Community Support Team members to share your feedback about the game, and meet other dedicated players of the Battlehouse community. Looking for a new home for clan chat operations? Creating a private clan channel on our Discord server gives you the added benefits of voice chatting with your clanmates, and sending clan notifications across all devices (including mobile)!
Guidelines:
Please remain civil and respectful at all times. Any bad behavior that violates our Discord Community rules, posted in the #rules channel, may be punished with a permanent ban and removal of your comments.
We invite you to ask the deep and hard hitting questions relevant to the whole game community. But note, this AMA is not intended to be a means of receiving instant answers to individual player support tickets. We will not be responding to reports about suspected cheaters, offensive chat disputes, or other account-specific questions that would be more appropriately handled in private by the Player Support team.
Try to ask concise, but clear questions. Huge blocks of text with several questions shoved into one may not be answered, nor will non-constructive comments such as “fix the game”.
