Commanders!

As you already know from previous launches, 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 useful rewards. The Shop works in stages, with each stage lasting around two months. The previous stage ended a couple of days ago, so it is time for a new one with refreshed rewards!

[h3]Steam Community Shop: Third Stage[/h3]
July 3, 2023 through August 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. They include special missions for extra Tokens, Personal Reserves, days of WoT Premium Account, a Tier VIII rental Premium Soviet Object 252U 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.
   
3. Find the Steam Community Shop option in the HOMEFRONT SUPPLIES tab and click on it to view all available rewards and prices.

Night has fallen, transforming the battlefield into a whole different place, sparsely lit by the pale moon. Who’s out there, lurking menacingly in the dark? Who’s attacking from deep in the shadows and then disappearing without a trace? Well, it could be you—in the new Darkness of the Night Arcade Cabinet mode running from June 30 to July 2 and from July 7 to July 9, accessible via the mode selector!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Teased in our roadmap video from the beginning of 2023, Darkness of the Night not only changes some basic gameplay parameters but also adds different lighting effects and nocturnal ambient sounds. All this creates a whole new sensation to awaken your tactical imagination. With spotting range down by more than a third, radio range halved, a shorter vehicle rendering range, and more, night fighting is stealth-based and happens at closer distances than usual.

[h2]The Maps[/h2]

The pale moon is glowing above three transformed locations with few other sources of light.

[h3]Lakeville[/h3]


[expand]

[/expand]
[h3]Sand River[/h3]


[expand]

[/expand]
[h3]Glacier[/h3]


[expand]

[/expand]

• On Lakeville, the moon is waning but there are some residual fires in town. Miraculously, some street lanterns are still working.
  
• On Sand River, there’s a pre-dawn gleam in the sky as well as the moonlight, but don‘t expect much: this place is as shadowy as the others.
  
• On Glacier, the glimmer of Earth’s natural satellite is accompanied by the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, while the lighthouse also adds some much-needed photons to the scene.
  

[h2]The Rules[/h2]

• You can play in any Tier VIII or Tier X vehicle.
  
• Battles are 15v15 and single-tiered.
  
• Platoons are available, and all Platoon bonuses apply.
  
• You cannot complete missions except those created specifically for the mode.
  
• Credits and XP can be earned.
  
• Battle Pass Points and bonds cannot be earned.
  
• All types of Reserves (Personal and Clan) can be used.
  
• XP multipliers for the first victory of the day do apply.
  
• Credits are added to the Credit Reserve.
  
• Gold is not added to the Gold Reserve.
  

[h2]Battle Modifiers[/h2]

Vehicles are easier to spot after firing in the dark, so don’t forget about muzzle flash!

[h2]The Rewards[/h2]

While playing as an armored night stalker is a reward in itself, you can also complete a short chain of battle missions during each Darkness of the Night launch and score some bonds.

[hr][/hr]
Executor, Stage I

Win two battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time.

Reward: 100 bonds

[hr][/hr]
Executor, Stage II

Win five battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time.

Reward: 100 bonds

[hr][/hr]
Executor, Stage III

Win ten battles and be among the top 12 on your team by base XP earned each time.

Reward: 200 bonds

Roll out quietly in your sneakiest vehicles and prevail subtly, Commanders!

Commanders!

This is a friendly reminder to spend all the Community Tokens that you’ve earned over the last two months as the second stage of Steam Community Shop will be over on June 30.

The Community Shop mechanic was introduced several months ago to give players more flexibility with rewards for participating in events and activities held frequently on our Steam Community Hub. Now, instead of getting a predetermined reward, you earn special Tokens that you can later exchange for various prizes in the Shop. If you are not familiar with this mechanic and want to know more details, you can check out this article.

[h2]The Second Stage Ends June 30![/h2]

The second stage of the Steam Community Shop is coming to an end, so remember to go to the Shop in the Homefront Supplies section of your Depot and spend your Community Tokens on various rewards.

Keep in mind that your accumulated Tokens DO NOT transfer between stages. If you don’t want to lose them, make sure to spend all your accumulated Tokens before June 30, 2023!

[h2]Community Giveaway: Last Chance to Get More Tokens![/h2]


Take part in our Community Giveaway, complete two easy steps, and get one more Community Token after the Giveaway ends.

All you need to do is the following:

1. Press the “Rate Up” button under this article.
   
2. Share your feedback about the return of the Steel Hunter mode in the comments!
   

That’s it! If you complete these steps, you will receive one Community Token a few days after the Giveaway ends on June 26, 2023.

Don’t forget to spend your Tokens, and stay tuned for the next stage with new rewards!

Commanders!

Presented by World of Tanks at The Tank Museum in Bovington, U.K., Tankfest features iconic vehicles in breathtaking arena shows, exhibitions of historically significant tanks, and much more! If you can't make it to the spectacle in person, catch the June 25 Tankfest Online Historical stream on Twitch, and earn great fantastic Drops while you watch!

We've also assembled 21 in-game Store bundles for 4 remarkable vehicles and customizations with up to a 30% discount. Check them out, and put on your own Tankfest in your Garage!

Your Purchase Helps! A part of the proceeds from the FV4201 Chieftain Proto sales, the new "Sharp Lines" 2D style, and the "Tankfest" inscription will go toward helping the Tank Museum keep the tanks such as the Chieftain running.

In EU a part of the proceeds from the sales of these items will go directly to the charities. Unfortunately we can't extend the same mechanic to other regions. Nonetheless, the styles will still be available to raise awareness, and WoT will still make a donation to the charities. You can also make a direct donation to the charity, should you rather prefer to make a direct contribution.

"Sharp Lines" is a brand-new 2D style created in concert with The Tank Museum for Tankfest 2023.

Check out the special June 22 livestream, where you can watch the "Sharp Lines" design get painted on an actual Chieftain tank. Yes—watch paint dry!

Like its T95/FV4201 Chieftain brother in arms, this heavy's impressive mix of characteristics allows it to dominate positional battles or win one-on-one duels. Depending on the situation, it can lead the attack and carry the team, absorbing enemy shells, or perform as a powerful support vehicle, assisting medium tanks.
