Wargaming's World of Tanks Modern Armor Metal Fest 2026 features Five Finger Death Punch with two premium vehicles, five 2D commanders, and a 3D commander. Band member Zoltan Bathory discussed the collaboration in an email interview, noting his childhood on a military base and the vehicles' design details.
Metal Fest 2026 Act 1 in World of Tanks Modern Armor runs until August 24, featuring Five Finger Death Punch content. The band's Zoltan Bathory said in an email interview with GAME Watch that the collaboration felt natural given his background: he grew up on a military base in Hungary and first drove a real tank at age six, sitting on his father's lap.
The two premium vehicles were designed to reflect the band. The FFDP - Knucklehead is a heavy tank with a turret modeled after the band's spiked knuckle duster. The FFDP - Iron Fist is a tank destroyer with a black hull, rockets, a 5-round autoloader, and a battering ram shaped like a spiked fist. Bathory said the collaboration will succeed if fans notice those details.
