Commanders!

There are tons of rewards up for grabs in Battle Pass Season XII! 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 the Improved Pass to collect the prizes in the Improved Rewards Track.

After purchasing the 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 the Improved Pass for all three Chapters of Season XII, 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 XII
  
• 1 daily mission for gold
  

[h2]Special Mission[/h2]

Purchasing the Battle Pass Special Mission bundle will reward you with bonds (up to 500), Battle Pass Points (up to 1,000), crew member Hope, the Premonition 2D style, and Training Manuals for all nations. The chain of tasks will be available until the end of the Season.

This bundle does not contain the Improved Pass.

[h3]Bundle Contents[/h3]

• 1,000 Battle Pass Points
  
• 3 Training Booklets and 1 Training Manual

Get into the thick of battle with Update 1.22, Commanders!

It brings a lot into the game, including a new branch of British wheeled medium tanks, balancing adjustments to multiple vehicles and maps, Season of the Azure Pegasus in Onslaught, and Season XII of Battle Pass. On top of that, there are Bootcamp Stories, additional WoT Plus bonuses, and auto-flipping vehicles.

Scroll down for details!

[h2]British Wheeled Medium Tanks[/h2]

Six British wheeled medium tanks are entering the game! These agile vehicles can turn in place, are relatively easy to handle with no extra movement modes attached, and also have precise guns. All of the above allows them to excel as mobile fire support, striking opponents when least expected and driving away before the enemy can retaliate.

[h2]Rebalanced Maps[/h2]

Ten maps received various adjustments that improve balance and create additional opportunities for more varied and nuanced tactical approaches. Mountain Pass, Fisherman‘s Bay, Studzianki, and Oyster Bay are the locations that received the most attention. Murovanka, Cliff, and Live Oaks saw significant changes, while Lakeville, Ensk, and Siegfried Line saw minor ones.

[h2]Rebalanced Vehicles[/h2]

We are constantly monitoring the battle performance of all vehicles and community feedback on them, and several categories of vehicles will undergo stat adjustments in Update 1.22. These categories include not only Tier X researchables but also mid-tier ones, as well as a bunch of Premium tanks. Some Tier X reward vehicles will also have their overall efficiency slightly decreased. All in all, the current overperformers will receive a small nerf, while underperforming vehicles’ stats will be improved. The main goal of these changes is to make gameplay more balanced, tactically diverse, and fair.

DETAILS

[h2]Onslaught: Season of the Azure Pegasus[/h2]

The new Season of Onslaught is the first in a year-long cycle of three seasons with nice rewards that include a new Tier X tank—the Hurricane, a Polish medium with an awesome 3D style and a unique crew. The much-loved 7v7 mode also offers an updated ranking system with Qualification battles to define your starting rank, new vehicle customization, new maps, rebalanced Role Skills, and battles without SPGs.

[h2]Battle Pass Season XII[/h2]

Season XII of Battle Pass is Mirny-13 themed. The foreboding setting has defined the story of the hero tankers’ adventures, as well as the looks of progressive styles for the Core Vehicles: the Object 140, the M-V-Y, and the Jagdpanzer E100. Complete Stages and entire Chapters, earn goodies and get even more of them with the Improved Pass, and don’t forget to spend all your Tokens by the end of Season XII, as this one is the last of 2023!

[h2]Auto-Flipping Vehicles[/h2]

Helpless tanks lying on their side or with their tracks up and unable to move will automatically be returned to normal from now on. After a 15-second timer runs out, they will be back on their tracks and ready to battle again.

[h2]Good luck, Commanders![/h2]

Take the new British wheelers out for a spin, check out modified locations and vehicles, rush into Onslaught, start your Battle Pass journey, and—be it sooner or later—try out auto-flipping as well!

Commanders, Steam Community Shop is opening its doors once again: time to earn some Tokens!

Steam Community Shop is a Steam-exclusive mechanic that allows players to earn special Tokens by participating in various events and activities on Steam Community Hub, and then spend these Tokens on various rewards. The Shop works in stages, with each stage lasting around two months. When the stage ends, the Shop closes for a couple of days, and then reopens again with slightly modified rewards.

[h3]Steam Community Shop: Fourth Stage[/h3]
September 4, 2023, through October 31, 2023

[h2]How Does It Work?[/h2]

There is always something happening on Steam Community Hub. Every month we launch Community events such as Giveaways, Tags suggestion events, rewards for following us on Steam Hub, and more. If you participate in these events and complete all the required steps correctly, you will get Community Tokens as a reward. You can then exchange these Tokens in the Community Shop for various rewards, depending on what you need most.

Stage Four rewards include special missions for extra Tokens, Personal Reserves, days of WoT Premium Account, a Tier VIII rental Premium German Löwe heavy tank, and more. Some rewards can be purchased for Tokens an unlimited number of times, while others are limited to one or two times per account.


You can save up your Tokens to purchase better rewards, or you can spend them as soon as you get them: the choice is yours! However, keep in mind that the Community Tokens you earn DO NOT transfer between stages. When the stage ends, all unused Tokens will disappear, so make sure you spend all your Tokens in time!

[h2]How to Find the Steam Community Shop?[/h2]

1. To find the Steam Community Shop, launch the game and open the DEPOT section.
   
2. Then, go to the HOMEFRONT SUPPLIES tab inside your Depot.

Battle Pass Season XII will take us into Mirny-13 this autumn, and will be available from September 6 through November 22. The progressive styles for its Core Vehicles will ensure they are ready to face the unknown, while its heroes’ story will be a prequel to the Mirny-13 tale. Expect great loot that includes bounty and Experimental Equipment, lucrative Challenges, and more. Season XII is the last this year, so don’t forget to turn your Tokens into reward tanks or other valuables before December 20!

[h2]Complete Chapters in Any Order[/h2]


The mechanics of Season XII are essentially the same as in the previous Season. You can activate any Chapter, then choose another if you wish, and return later to continue completing any paused Chapter from where you left off. Try to finish every Chapter so that you can top up the progressive styles, unlock the hero crew members, and turn your Battle Pass Points into extra 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, and for completing special missions in the Mirny-13 and Waffenträger: Projekt Hyperion events.

[h3]COMEDIAN FOR THE M-V-Y[/h3]

"My friend, they called you a bear not because you were big and strong, but because you snore louder than the rest of the barracks. Whenever you fell asleep in the tank, we couldn't hear the engine. I got used to it pretty quickly, but our sergeants were ready to sell their souls for a pair of earplugs.

By the way, what are you doing this winter? Going into hibernation, or do you have some other plans? Sorry, I had to. You gotta understand, this Mirny makes even me a little nervous. They say it's a research operation, but all the residents were evacuated long ago. It's not hard to see that something went sour down there. And why am I not surprised that I'll be the first to go there? Then again, who else? Anyway, here goes. This isn't our first time getting into the thick of it.

Well, good luck, Douglas. I hope to see you soon. I'll bring you some honey on the way back."


[h3]SWALLOW FOR THE OBJECT 140[/h3]

"No, Anka, I don't know where I'm going. I don't know how much time it'll take. And I can't say for sure if I'll make it out of there...

Hey, don't get sad right away. I told you, I have a great team with an experienced commander. The vehicle is fitted with the best equipment, and it's prepared for anything. But most importantly, I feel like I can finally do something important in this life, write my name in history, and play my part in making our world so much better.

Now do you understand why I signed up for this? Well, then wish me luck, little sister, and tell me everything's going to be alright."


[h3]DUNKEL FOR THE JAGDPANZER E 100[/h3]

November 23

Hope has been talking about the research prospects and scientific discoveries all day long, while the mechanics have been loading the tank with everything they can find in the warehouse. Suspicious. Lining, a docking portal, a radio detector, a gun camera... What can I say, the more the better. I don't know if it'll be any use on the other side of the perimeter, but I like that I'll be able to deploy a mobile laboratory if necessary.

Sadly, so far there are more questions than answers, but, to be fair, that really creates extra scientific interest. Why were civilians evacuated in such a hurry? What kind of substance is Mirium? Did they tell us everything?...

Hope gave me a poster as a gift, and I hung it in the tank. I want to believe that we really are looking for the key to a brighter future. Of course, I understand that it might be extremely dangerous, but the chance to be a pioneer comes once in a lifetime. I'm ready to take that risk.

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

Complete the Collection to get to know the members of the first scientific expedition group to enter the research town and investigate its strange phenomena. Unlock the brave trio's reports, personal possessions, and more to learn what happened to them⁠—⁠and earn three extra Tokens and the special Bright Future decal along the way.


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

Mirny-13 is a place that is in many ways abnormal, but those who dare to explore it are rewarded—with themed vehicle customization items and a whole load of other valuables.

Base Rewards



Improved Rewards



[h2]Earn Experimental Equipment[/h2]

Every Season, you receive Experimental Equipment for completing each Chapter—on top of a finalized progressive style and a unique crew member. Mount it on vehicles or disassemble it for components to upgrade other units of Experimental Equipment.

EQUIPMENT GUIDE

Tokens are a special reward currency exclusive to Battle Pass which accumulate over the course of the year. In Season XII, you can earn up to 21 Tokens as Progression rewards (12 as Base Rewards and nine as Improved Rewards), plus up to three more for gathering Collection Elements. Spend Tokens in the Items for Tokens section of the in-game Store on valuable goodies, such as Bounty Equipment and nine rare Tier IX vehicles including the BZ-58-2, the KPz 3 Projekt 07 HK, and the Cobra. Don’t forget to spend your Tokens by December 20; after that date, they will be converted into bonds.


[h2]Challenges[/h2]

Participate in Challenges in your Tier IX Battle Pass reward vehicles and Season XII Core Vehicles. The Challenges are available via the Tournaments game menu. Follow the news, sign up, outperform the competition, and earn lucrative prizes!

Obtain the Improved Pass for any Season XII Chapter for 2,500 gold on the Battle Pass screen in your Garage! The in-game Store offers bundles that include the Improved Pass for all Chapters, as well as real-money value bundles that give you the full Improved Pass and (for a maximum of 30 days) 250 gold daily for a single battle played.

A new Onslaught Season is almost here, and it’s called the Azure Pegasus!

It will carry the traditions of competitive spirit and introduce several gameplay improvements aimed at making Onslaught even more engaging. We’ve added Qualification, an annual progression, and three new battlefields, as well as rebalancing some vehicle Role Skills and removing artillery from the mode.

But, most importantly, the new Season brings with it a host of lucrative rewards, such as Increased Shell Resistance , a brand-new progressive 2D style, stunning customizations, bonds, and much more. Let’s take a look at what’s coming!

[h2]Seasonal Customization Rewards[/h2]

The Season of the Azure Pegasus brings two lines of enjoyable rewards for good performance in combat. The first reward line includes spectacular customization items (a unique 2D style, Dog Tag elements, badges, decals, etc.) in stunning azure tones that we’ve prepared specially for the Season. To grab these status symbols , you need to progress through the Divisions.

[h3]Iron[/h3]


[h3]Bronze[/h3]


[h3]Silver[/h3]


[h3]Gold[/h3]


[h3]Champion[/h3]


[h3]Legend[/h3]

Don’t forget that the seasonal badges and stripes awarded for reaching the Champion and Legend Ranks will be removed from your account at the start of each new Season. If you want to earn them back, you will need to participate in the next Season and showcase good results in battle.

The Dog Tag Victory Engravings will be unique for each new Season and will display the number of wins within one Season. In total, during the Year of the Pegasus, you can get three different Engravings (one for each Season), and each of them will display the number of your victories in that Season. They will remain yours permanently after the Year of the Pegasus is over.

The Engraving displaying the total number of Prestige Points you've earned in Onslaught will be updated with new data throughout the Year of the Pegasus and in future Onslaught Seasons.

This reward pool also contains an amazing progressive 2D style. As you move through the Ranks, you will get cool new camouflage patterns and unlock unique inscriptions and emblems for this style, which will highlight your mastery among other players.

[expand]

[/expand]
[h2]Battle Mission Rewards[/h2]

The second line of rewards will be given to you for completing weekly Lucky Chips missions. All missions are completed consecutively, only in Onslaught. For each completed mission, you will receive rewards like days of WoT Premium Account, bonds, and credits. At the end of the weekly period, your progress is reset, and a new set of the same missions with the same rewards will become available.

After completing a set of five missions, you will receive one Lucky Chip, a special in-game currency. Earn Lucky Chips throughout the Season to automatically receive the most valuable prizes from the second reward line: Increased Shell Resistance , a universal Training Guide, bonds, and days of WoT Premium Account.

Some missions will also earn you cool decals and inscriptions. Check them out.


[h2]Annual Rewards[/h2]

Based on the results of the three Seasons of the Year of the Pegasus, the bravest and most active players can receive Annual Rewards. Depending on your number of Pegasus Colors* (a special in-game currency earned throughout all three Seasons), you will receive one of the Rewards below.

*You will earn one Pegasus Color for each Rank. By the end of the Season, you can get a maximum of 6 Pegasus Colors.

The Annual Statistics screen will be available after the next update goes live and will be updated dynamically.
