Dear players, in case your internet connection is slow, you may experience problems with the UI when respawning in battle: some of the necessary elements may be missing or extra ones may be present, and/or the vehicle chosen by you may be wrongly displayed as destroyed. We have done our best to minimize the number of such issues, but sadly, we haven‘t been able to eliminate them entirely. If you encounter one, relaunching the game client may help.

Commanders!

Epic 30v30 battles are here to rock vast battlefields again! From November 21 through November 28, Frontline will return to World of Tanks for its final launch in 2022. Soon, you’ll be attacking pillboxes and defending them while using a whole array of Combat Reserves to give your side a tactical edge. Barring a few minor changes, the rules, mechanics, and rewards will be the same as in the second Frontline launch, so you’ll feel at home!



[h3]Frontline 2022: Third Launch[/h3]
EU: November 21, 2022, at 05:00 CET through November 28, 2022, at 03:00 CET (UTC+1)
NA: November 21, 2022, at 03:00 PT | 05:00 CT | 06:00 ET through November 28, 2022, at 01:00 PT | 03:00 CT | 04:00 ET
ASIA: November 21, 2022, at 07:00 UTC+8 through November 28, 2022, at 04:00 UTC+8

TO GUIDE

[h2]Battle Format[/h2]

There will only be single-tier battles during the third launch of Frontline in 2022. Get your favorite Tier VIII vehicles ready!

[h2]Changes to Combat Reserves[/h2]

During the third launch of Frontline, you will have the tried-and-tested Combat Reserves at your disposal. Their parameters are the same as the last time, except for one change: After you respawn, you will have to wait a bit for the Combat Reserves to be ready for use—for 30% of their nominal cooldown time.

[h2]Rental Vehicles[/h2]

Rental vehicles are the same as those used during the second launch—all “clones” of their respective researchable Tier VIII counterparts with the best modules installed. Crews from vehicles of the same nation and type can be transferred on and off them for free and without penalty. Rental vehicles will be available for the entire duration of Frontline, which is seven days, and they can only be used in this mode.

• Tiger II FL
  
• T-44 FL
  
• AMX AC mle. 48 FL
  
• M41 Walker Bulldog FL
  

At the start, you will be able to obtain Frontline rental vehicles for 250,000 each in the Frontline section of the in-game Store. This price will go down as the event progresses.


[h2]Progression and Rewards[/h2]

The Frontline progression will consist of 20 Stages. Upon completing each Stage, you will receive rewards such as Combat Reserve Points, Battle Pass Points, and goodies like bonds, directives, a Universal Manual, and Retraining Orders. The latter can only be obtained in the Frontline mode, and it allows you to change the skills and/or perks of a crew without penalty.

Let’s go big in Frontline, Commanders!

Final Stage completed! Congratulations, Commanders! You’ve demonstrated that the WoT Steam Community can take on any challenge! Every Steam player who earns or has already earned six Progress Tokens will soon receive the rewards for the Final Stage.

Commanders!

A couple of months ago one of our exploration squads came across a strange and complex machine at an abandoned military base. Upon further investigation, it turned out to be an experimental training device called the Challenge Generator.

Our scientists took great interest in this machine, and the First Phase of the research was conducted, where many of you participated. During the analysis of the gathered data, the scientists have discovered more hidden functions of the machine: it is not only able to follow tankers’ individual progress, but also track the collective progress of thousands of tankers and encourage them to work together by introducing something called Progress Tokens!

What are Progress Tokens and how does it all work? Well, that’s what we are going to find out. It is time to power up the Challenge Generator again for the Phase II!



[h3]Phase II: Key Points[/h3]

• The event goes on from November 4, 2022, at 05:00 UTC through November 21, 2022, at 05:00 UTC.
  
• During the event, The Challenge Generator will create two sets of weekly challenges for you.
  
  
  
  
  1. The first set will be available from the start of the event until November 11, 05:00 UTC.
     
  2. The second one will be available from November 11, 05:00 UTC until the end of the event.
     
  
  
• The set of challenges consists of 4 weekly missions: one easy, one medium, one hard, and one additional challenge. Each of these missions can be completed only once.
  
• Easy, medium and hard missions are available immediately and can be completed at the same time. It means that by performing well in one battle you can contribute to all three missions’ progress at once!
  
• Additional challenge will be available to you after you complete both easy and medium weekly missions.
  
• For completing these missions, you will receive a certain amount of Progress Tokens and some Credits.
  
• Progress Tokens are used to track the Community Progression of the event. By completing challenges and accumulating Progress Tokens, Steam Community can move through the Progression and receive more valuable rewards.
  
• The total number of the Progress tokens earned by the Steam Community and current Progression stage are shown on our special Infographics above, as well as the requirements and rewards. This image is updated once a day.
  

Now, let’s go through all the information in detail.

[h3]Weekly Missions: Complete Them to earn Progress Tokens[/h3]

When the event starts, the Challenge Generator will create a special set of four challenges for all tankers. It will be available for completion until November 11, 05:00 UTC.

After that time all unfinished missions will disappear and a new set of four challenges will be generated, which you will be able to complete until the end of the event.

A weekly set of challenges consists of four missions:

• Easy Challenge
  
• Medium Challenge
  
• Hard Challenge
  
• Bonus Challenge
  

Easy, medium and hard missions are available for all tankers from the start of the event and can be completed at the same time and in any order you like. Keep in mind that these challenges are generated by the mysterious machine, so don’t be surprised if you and your friends get completely different missions!

However, our scientists figured out that there is one thing that all of these missions have in common. They all require you to prove your mastery by obtaining a certain Honorary Rank, Commemorative Token, Battle Hero Medal, or even a Mastery Badge.

If you complete an easy and a medium mission during the week, the Challenge Generator will grant you access to a Bonus Challenge. The tests show that these ones are not generated randomly, and the conditions are quite straightforward.

NOTE: To see all the missions and their exact conditions go to the “MISSIONS” tab in your Garage, and then scroll down to the “Challenge Generator” section.

For finishing these missions, you receive some Credits and a certain amount of Progress Tokens (more on them below):


[h3]Progress Tokens and Community Progression[/h3]

Progress Tokens are your main focus in this event! The Challenge Generator uses them to track the overall Steam Community progress, so every mission you complete contributes to the common goal!

This time, all Steam tankers are united in a pursuit for the best rewards. The Challenge Generator has a special Community Progression, which consists of four Stages.

Each Stage requires a certain number of Progress Tokens earned by the Steam World of Tanks Community. When the Community collects the required number of Progress Tokens to unlock a new Stage, all players who contributed enough will receive a reward!


Keep in mind that the Challenge Generator rewards only those who actually contribute to the common goal. To receive the Stage rewards, a player must earn a certain minimum number of Progress Tokens:


To sum it up, let’s review an example. To get rewards for the first Stage of the Community Progression, two conditions should be met:

1. The total number of Progress Tokens earned by all Steam players across all three regions is equal or higher than 20,000
   
2. You personally have earned at least 3 Progress Tokens
   

Complete missions, earn Progress Tokens, get rewards: simple as that!

[h3]Progress Tracking[/h3]

To see how much progress the Steam Community has already made, you can check the special Infographics at the start of this announcement. On the Infographics, you can find the progress bar and the total number of Tokens earned by players.

The Challenge Generator is a complex device that does a lot of processing. Our scientists are still working on figuring out the full power of the device, but for now, the data on the Infographics is updated once a day.

[h3]Participate in the Research![/h3]

Phase II is sure to provide us with even more information about the Challenge Generator. We still don’t know a lot about this device, but we are certain it has great potential.

Help us to discover the mysteries of the Challenge Generator, complete the missions, earn Progress Tokens and get the best rewards!
