LeKpz Borkenkäfer: The Precision Spotter

Germany introduces a new predator to the battlefield: a lightning-quick light tank that turns information into firepower. With a remarkable balance of speed, concealment, and view range, the leKPZ Borkenkäfer can slip behind enemy lines, detect threats before they see you, and then do something no other scout has done before—weaponize scouting itself.

  • Tank class: Light (high-speed scout)

  • Tech tree branch: German Light line, following the Rhm. PzW

  • Distinctive traits: lazing speed, compact silhouette, target designator

This vehicle is all about initiative—outsmarting the enemy, exposing them, and making sure they pay the price.

Special Mechanic: Laser Target Designator

Press X to activate the leKPZ Borkenkäfer’s groundbreaking Laser Target Designator. Your next shell gains special tracking capabilities, applying one of two unique effects depending on your target’s status:

  • If the target is already spotted: The mark intensifies enemy exposure—keeping them visible for longer and amplifying the damage they take from allies.

  • If the target is unspotted: A special marker appears at the impact point, revealing that “an enemy is here.” The silhouette isn’t shown—but the position is shared with your team.

This system revolutionizes teamwork. The leKPZ Borkenkäfer doesn’t just spot—it coordinates, marks, and multiplies your team’s firepower.
