Commanders!

There are tons of rewards up for grabs with Battle Pass Season XI! The latest Season brings new Commanders and both 2D and 3D styles, but you can earn even more with bundles that include the Improved Pass and an exclusive female crew member.

The Improved Pass is available without bundles for 2,500 gold per Chapter through the Battle Pass screen in your Garage or the in-game Store.

However, if you want to save some gold and instantly secure access to all the Base and Improved Rewards, we have some offers for you. Take a look at these three special Battle Pass packages—available now!



[h2]Full Access[/h2]

The pack contains the Improved Pass for all three Chapters, allowing you to receive basic and advanced rewards for each completed Stage until the end of the current Season.

[h2]Improved Rewards[/h2]

Each Battle Pass Stage has two Reward Tracks: Base Rewards and Improved Rewards. The Base Rewards Track contains plenty of goodies that you can obtain for free, but if you want even more, you'll need an Improved Pass to collect the prizes in the Improved Rewards Track.

After purchasing an Improved Pass, you will receive all Improved Rewards for the Stages you have already completed. You will also unlock the Improved Rewards for completing subsequent Stages.

[h2]Daily Gold[/h2]

Receive 250 gold every day you fight in a Random Battle over a period of 30 days, for a total of 7,500 gold. The bundle also contains an Improved Pass for all three Chapters of Season XI which allows you to receive both Base and Improved Rewards for each completed Stage until the end of the current Season.

[h3]Bundle Contents[/h3]
  • Improved Pass for the 3 Chapters of Battle Pass Season XI
  • 1 daily mission for gold

Our most epic mode will feature a fresh 3×3 km map called Fata Morgana with a desert landscape. Located in Northern Africa, Fata Morgana offers a large variety of battle zones, including a massive oil refinery, a rugged canyon, historic castle ruins, and other picturesque areas.

We’ve also improved the Kraftwerk map. It has received a series of balance fixes that will make gameplay more comfortable for both teams.

[h2]Steel Hunter: Reborn[/h2]

Our battle royale mode returns on June 12 and is now more accessible than ever! Steel Hunter: Reborn is a fast-paced interpretation of the familiar format, but its rules are simpler and more straightforward.

In the latest update of Steel Hunter, you now have a chance to jump back into the action with the addition of respawns. This feature allows for more opportunities to try out different strategies and reduce the impact of early mistakes. Steel Hunter has also undergone a rework in vehicle and gameplay balancing, making for a more enjoyable experience. Additionally, players can now face off against Marauders, AI-driven opponents with unique behaviors, adding a new level of excitement to battles. You’ll be able to earn Battle Pass Points throughout the event.

Your objective remains the same: to become the ultimate survivor in this adrenaline-fueled battle royale. Prepare to fight until there's only one tank left standing, and emerge as the victorious champion!


[h2]Service Record Page Update[/h2]

We’ve thoroughly redesigned the Service Record page in the Garage by making it more informative and useful. In addition to the familiar parameters, such as the total number of battles fought, average damage, and win rate, new parameters have been added. You can now see your assistance and damage records, as well as several other stats that you can be proud of.

We’ve also replaced the Personal Rating with WTR as a better representation of players' actual performance. You can now see it on your main statistics page with reworked visuals. It will be divided into 15 mastery levels, each with its own unique style.

We’re also introducing the ability to customize your combat achievements. Now, you and other Commanders will be able to see your most valuable medals and other enviable awards!


[h2]Battle Pass Season XI[/h2]

Season XI of Battle Pass—featuring Collections—is just around the corner, Commanders! The mechanics of the upcoming season are all familiar: You can earn tons of Base Rewards and even more valuable Improved Rewards for good performance in battle.

In Season XI, you can already get enough Battle Pass Tokens to redeem rare Tier IX vehicles, including the BZ-58-2 and the KPz 3 Projekt 07 HK.

And surprise! In the middle of the Season, a new temporary Battle Pass Chapter will become available! It will work under the same rules as the temporary Chapter of Season VII. Stay tuned—we’ll share more details shortly before the start of the Season!

BATTLE PASS 2023: SEASON XI



Season XI of Battle Pass will be a hot topic this entire summer from May 31 through September 6. There are new Core Vehicles, each with a flashy progressive style, as well as new heroes whose adventures take them to historical lands by a big warm sea. The loot list has been improved (see the full guide below), with Experimental Equipment among the Base Rewards, gold in the Improved Rewards, and adjusted bond yields. Also, the Collection is available from the start of the Season. Finally, expect a series of Challenges that offer extra prizes, along with an additional time-limited Chapter (coming around mid-Season) that includes a Premium tank among its rewards!

 ADDITIONAL CHAPTER

The mechanics of progressing through Season XI are well known to those who played in the previous Season. Activate any Chapter, switch to another if you want, and come back later to continue from where you stopped. Try to finish every Chapter to max out the progressive styles, unlock the experienced crew members, and turn your hard-earned Battle Pass Points into additional goodies. You can earn Battle Pass Points in Random Battles (playing in Tier VI–X vehicles), as well as in Onslaught, Frontline, and Steel Hunter: Reborn.

HANMĀ FOR THE TYPE 5 HEAVY

"Hello, Dad. I hope you and Mom are doing well and don't miss me much. Things are looking up for me! I think I'll be promoted for the success of Operation Husky, just like you wanted. You should see the beast I command: a captured Japanese tank, as huge and reliable as a sledgehammer. Before our landing, our engineers reworked it so well, even you'd be surprised.

We're on the mainland now, moving north—though not too fast. But we'll get through it! We have no other choice. I've also made two friends: a bold French girl named Colette and a guy with a complicated fate named Stefan. They're great guys, but you might not say so at first glance.
In all other respects, things are the same. As they say, a front line is a front line.
Sincerely, your son Ian.

P.S. When we're done here, I'll bring you a captured Parabellum."




ÉGLANTIER FOR THE AMX 50 FOCH B

"You probably think I became a commander while drinking coffee with croissants? You two have fewer combat missions under your belts than I do. Here, you know-it-all—take a closer look at this tank destroyer. You think I got this war trophy for my 'beaux yeux?' Yes, it looks very much like the French one, but it's a German design! Like the flamethrowers, which, you can be sure, will bring the heat during the first breakthrough. When you understand what makes the compressors work, then you'll be able to call yourself a tankman. But for now, don't take too much on yourselves, guys, and don't tell me who, when, and from where to attack. Je me casse."



SWORN BROTHER FOR THE T57 HEAVY TANK

"Do you remember, Yanka, how we volunteered for the Army? You signed up as Andrzej and didn't respond to this name for the first couple of days. I didn't think we'd be sent to the South—it's too far from home. Well, Africa's no resort, but we're not timid—we did it!

Looks to me we'll have a hard time in Italy, too, but who's going to ask us?

My only dream is to come back to my homeland and build a house when this is all over. A small one by the river. To live a normal life—although it seems it'll never be normal again… All right, everything will be fine. We'll take a steam bath, and that grandma will treat us to smalec. Be careful and come back soon, and I'll take care of that famed Duplex Drive system. The landing is serious business, so I'll be working here 'til morning."


[h2]Gather the Collection and Experience the Story[/h2]

With the Collection available from the start, get into the thick of the highly atmospheric plot of Season XI straight away. Unlock its Elements by reaching certain Stage thresholds and get to know the heroes better. In addition to some juicy details, completing the Collection will grant you three extra Tokens and a special decal.


[h2]Receive Base and Improved Rewards[/h2]

The places our heroes are heading to are famous for their riches. Check out the Season XI loot!

Improved Rewards



[h2]Earn Experimental Equipment[/h2]

EQUIPMENT GUIDE

[h2]Items for Tokens[/h2]

Tokens are a special reward currency exclusive to Battle Pass. They accumulate over the course of the year from all the Battle Pass Seasons you take part in throughout 2023. In Season XI, you can earn up to 21 Tokens as Progression rewards (12 as Base Rewards and nine as Improved Rewards), plus up to three additional Tokens for gathering Collection Elements. Spend Tokens in the Items for Tokens section of the in-game Store to redeem valuable goodies, such as Bounty Equipment and nine rare Tier IX vehicles. In Season XI, you can accumulate enough Tokens to grab the BZ-58-2 or—if you saved up at least three Tokens from Season X—the KPz 3 Projekt 07 HK.


[h2]Challenges[/h2]

During Season XI, Challenges will be available via the Tournaments game menu for those who play in Tier IX Battle Pass reward vehicles. That includes the newcomers to the roster: the BZ-58-2 and the KPz 3 Projekt 07 HK. Follow the news, sign up for Challenges, outperform the competition, and earn prizes!

[h2]Get Extra Rewards![/h2]

Once you complete all three main Chapters of Season XI, you'll have access to the Reward section of the in‑game Store. It's where you can spend Battle Pass Points on bonds and progressive styles, as well as crew members from previous Seasons.

The Reward section of the in-game Store will be available until September 6, 2023.

[h2]Get the Improved Pass[/h2]

You can obtain the Improved Pass for any Season XI Chapter for 2,500 gold on the Battle Pass screen in your Garage. The in-game Store has real-money offers of bundles that include the Improved Pass for all Chapters, as well as value bundles. On top of giving you the full Improved Pass, value bundles allow you to receive 250 gold daily for up to 30 days if you play a single Random Battle that day.

A new journey awaits, Commanders!

Community Tokens are a special currency that you earn by being an active member of the World of Tanks Steam Community and by participating in various events and activities.

You can spend your Tokens in the Steam Community Shop in-game to select the rewards you need (rather than a predetermined reward, as it used to be).

To find the Steam Community Shop, log in to the game, enter the Depot from your Garage and open the “Homefront Supplies” tab. There, you will find the Steam Community Shop with all available rewards and their cost in Community Tokens.
