Guide: Equipment
Equipment is a category of additional systems, parts, and components that can improve a vehicle's combat characteristics and minimize its weaknesses.
In World of Tanks, there are two types of equipment: standard and special. Special equipment is divided into improved and Bounty.
Standard equipment can be purchased for credits. To purchase improved equipment, you'll need bonds—a special currency that can only be earned in certain battle modes, missions, and in-game activities. Bounty Equipment is earned in certain events, such as Battle Pass.

[h3]Equipment Classes[/h3]
Standard equipment is divided into three classes depending on the cost and vehicle tier on which it can be mounted. The higher the equipment class, the higher the cost. Availability of the equipment classes depends on your vehicle:
Camouflage Net is divided into Class 2 and Class 3. The Class 3 version can be mounted on Tier II–IV vehicles, and the Class 2 version on Tier V–X vehicles.
Spall Liner has no classes at all. Four different versions are available, each one suitable for certain vehicle type and tier:
Standard equipment improves one of the vehicle’s characteristics and, as well as classes, has four categories:
The equipment is mounted in the slots that become available starting from Tier II vehicles. The number of available slots depends on the vehicle’s tier.
Starting from Tier VI vehicles, the first slot is assigned a certain category that depends on your vehicle type:
[h2]Special Equipment[/h2]
Special equipment is divided into improved and Bounty. Improved equipment provides a greater bonus to vehicle characteristics than standard equipment. The basic effect of Bounty Equipment is the same as that of the standard type, but you can upgrade it for credits. After the upgrade, it becomes as effective as the improved equipment. Improved and Bounty Equipment provide a static bonus no matter which slot they are in, but both grant a bonus superior to standard equipment, even if the standard equipment benefits from the category slot bonus.
[h2]Equipment Mounting[/h2]
You can mount up to three pieces of equipment on your vehicle. Equipment can be purchased and mounted in the Garage:
You cannot mount multiple pieces of equipment with the same effect, regardless of the equipment type.
[h2]Upgrading Bounty Equipment[/h2]
You can upgrade Bounty Equipment in the Garage:
You can also upgrade the Bounty Equipment stored in the Depot, in the Stock section. To do this, right click the Bounty Equipment item and select Upgrade in the menu displayed.
[h2]Demounting Equipment[/h2]
All equipment types can be demounted. Standard equipment and Bounty Equipment can be demounted for gold or by using a Demounting Kit, and improved equipment can be demounted for bonds. You can also destroy your equipment. In this case it will be removed from the vehicle and deleted.
To demount one equipment item, you can use a Demounting Kit, which is spent upon activation. Demounting Kits can be obtained from rewards received for completing Daily Missions and some Battle Pass Stages.
The received or purchased Demounting Kits are permanently stored in the Depot. You can view the number of available Demounting Kits via the Consumables tab in the Stock section.
Please note that Demounting Kits cannot be sold.
