World of Tanks News

Commanders!

Do you think a "Collectathon" tag is right for World of Tanks? Are visual components, such as “Historical” or “Realistic,” important to you? Maybe you like the experience of tank driving or contests with worthy rivals? Tell us more by adding tags you think are a good fit for World of Tanks, and we'll grant you one Community Token that you can use to claim various rewards in-game!


[h3]How to Suggest Tags for World of Tanks[/h3]

1. Go to the Store page.
   
2. Find the "Popular user-defined tags for this product" section on the right-hand side of the Store page, and then click the "+" symbol.
   
3. Select tags from existing ones by clicking the "+" symbol next to the tag, or create your own tags.
   
4. Share your tags in the comments under this post.
   

NOTE: During this event, the reward will only be granted once, regardless of the number of tags suggested or added. It may take us a couple of days to collect and process all the participants, so don’t worry if you don’t get your Token immediately after the event ends.

[h3]Steam Community Shop and Community Tokens: How It Works[/h3]

[expand]
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.
[/expand]
Make tag suggestions, receive Tokens, and grab useful rewards from the Steam Community Shop—sounds like a good deal to us!

Commanders!

Get ready to build your own path to the rewards with Triathlon Missions! This event gives you a lot of flexibility: you choose what mission you want to complete and what rewards you want to get. Do it just the way you want!

[h3]Triathlon Missions[/h3]

March 20, 2023, through April 10, 2023

[h2]Step One: Choose Your Challenge[/h2]

The Triathlon Missions event will go on for three weeks. Each week you will have an opportunity to pick one mission out of four which you want to complete.

To choose your challenge for the week, open your DEPOT and go to the HOMEFRONT SUPPLIES tab. There, you will see an option named “Triathlon missions”: click on it to pick a mission out of four available variants.

If you don’t see this option in your HOMEFRONT SUPPLIES tab but you want to participate in Triathlon missions, activate this Bonus code: TRIATHLONSTEAM. After activation, you will receive access to the selection of your first mission.

Click on the expand button below to learn more information about the Bonus code.

[expand]

1. This code works for Steam players only.
   
   
2. Make sure that your Steam account remains associated with your Wargaming account. If you unbind it during the event, you will not be able to choose missions anymore.
   
   
3. If you already have access to the first mission selection, you don’t need to activate the code. It will not grant you any additional benefits.
   
   
4. The code works only until the end of week one.
   

[/expand]

IMPORTANT: If you do not pick your first mission, you will not be able to participate in the event and you will lose the chance to pick your second and third missions. Make sure to choose the mission until March 27, 2023!

[h2]Step Two: Complete the Chosen Challenge Until the End of the Week[/h2]

Once you choose your mission, you will need to complete it by a certain date in order to get the rewards. Below you can see the exact dates of all three weeks of the event.

Week 1: March 20, 2023, through March 27, 2023

Week 2: March 27, 2023, through April 3, 2023

Week 3: April 3, 2023, through April 10, 2023

If you don’t complete the mission in time, it will expire, and you will not get any rewards.

[h2]Step Three: Collect Triathlon Tokens[/h2]

All missions have Triathlon Tokens as rewards. Easy missions will grant you one Token upon completion, and if you want a slightly more difficult challenge, go for the medium one: it lets you get two Triathlon Tokens if you finish it in time.

Additionally, every week you will get one free Token as a gift from us!

[h2]Step Four: Spend Your Triathlon Tokens on Rewards in the Triathlon Shop[/h2]

So, what do you do with these Tokens once you get them? You can exchange them for various rewards, of course!

As soon as you have at least one Token, you will see the Triathlon Shop in the game. Head to DEPOT, click on HOMEFRONT SUPPLIES tab and find the “Triathlon Shop” option.

You can save up the Tokens to grab the most valuable rewards or spend them right away as soon as you earn them: it is completely up to you!

Triathlon Shop will remain available for players until April 30, 2023. Remember to spend all your hard-earned Tokens by that date, or they will disappear!

[h2]Enjoy the Event![/h2]

With Triathlon Missions, we tried to create an event which you can calibrate to your liking: pick missions you want to complete, earn Triathlon Tokens by finishing them in time, and choose the rewards you need the most.

Make it your way, Commanders!

Greetings, Commanders!

Arcade Cabinet is back, offering two tried and tested game modes: Element of Surprise and Railgun. Each will be live for one weekend, followed by a third weekend when both will be available at the same time.

Element of Surprise will increase the randomness of every shot, adding more unpredictability and excitement to your gameplay. In Railgun, you'll experience a significant boost in gun precision, spotting capability, and mobility for your vehicle, making battles more thrilling and fast paced.

Players will also have the opportunity to earn up to 1,200 bonds while Arcade Cabinet is live. So, get ready for a wild ride and mark your calendars for the upcoming weekends!

[h2]How to Find Arcade Cabinet[/h2]

Select Arcade Cabinet from the menu to the right of the “Battle!” button in your Garage. When hovering over the mode button, you’ll see a description of the combat modifiers to be applied in battle. Prepare for something completely different!



[h2]Element of Surprise[/h2]

From March 17 at 10:00 CET through March 19 at 23:59 CET

From March 31 at 10:00 CEST through April 2 at 23:59 CEST

The damage spread in the standard rules of World of Tanks is a modest ±30%, which is certainly enough to stir up some powerful emotions. But what if we crank it up (or down) a bit? In Element of Surprise, the damage spread is ±75%, and there’s a much bigger chance of extremely low or extremely high damage values. Prepare for a ride on a swinging rollercoaster with some insane loops! (We are speaking figuratively here, of course.)



[h2]Maps[/h2]

• Steppes
  
• Abbey
  
• Ensk
  
• Pearl River
  
• Murovanka
  
• Mines
  
• Highway
  

[h2]Railgun [/h2]

From March 24 at 10:00 CET through March 26 at 23:59 CEST

From March 31 at 10:00 CEST through April 2 at 23:59 CEST

This mode lives up to its name, and makes you feel like you’ve landed in a sci-fi novel! The vehicles all keep their looks, but their guns become super-precise, with extremely low dispersion and fast aiming. Dispersion from vehicle movement and traverse is halved, so almost all shots get “snappy.” The proximity spotting distance goes up to 445 meters, meaning enemies won't be able to hide from you (or you from them). With a solid chance of hitting any opponent in plain sight, your tactical options become fantastic!



[h2]Maps[/h2]

• Malinovka
  
• Sand River
  
• Mines
  
• Paris
  
• Tundra
  
• El Halluf
  
• Karelia
  

[h2]The Rules[/h2]

Although Element of Surprise and Railgun have different battle modifiers, their key rules are the same:

• Battles are single-tiered and fought in either Tier VIII or Tier X vehicles.
  
• You’ll receive XP and credits for battles, and you can use all types of regular reserves (both Personal and Clan).
  
• XP multipliers for the first victory of the day work in the modes, and credits are put into the vault.
  
• Element of Surprise and Railgun battles do not contribute to daily missions or Personal Missions, but they do count towards the mode progression.
  
• Element of Surprise and Railgun battles do not give you bonds, except for the event progression rewards—see below.
  
• You may play in Platoons if you wish (you’ll be eligible for the bonuses if you do).
  

[h2]The Rewards[/h2]

While each of the modes is active, you can complete a short chain of battle missions and earn some bonds (up to 1,200 in total).


*You have to complete the previous mission to unlock this one.

Prepare for two more ways to play, Commanders!

Shamrock Days are now available for players and everyone can enjoy the Emerald Boxes and Hidden Treasures. We apologize for the delay, and we will keep monitoring the event closely to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible from now.

Commanders,

During Shamrock Days (from March 16 through March 22), World of Tanks will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a threefold way: with the Hidden Treasures web event, special battle missions, and the Green Light in-game event. During the latter, Emerald Boxes will be available from the in-game Store, giving you a chance to obtain rare vehicles. Every 50th opening guarantees you one.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

From March 16 to March 20, the ×5 bonus to XP for the first win of the day will be active, and lots of discounts will be offered on researchable and Premium vehicles, equipment, consumables, customization elements, and conversion to Free XP.

Happy Hours will be in effect every day from March 16 to March 20, from 18:00 to 22:00 CET (UTC+1), granting an additional bonus (+200% to Crew XP on the first and the third day or +50% to XP on the second and the fourth day).

[h2]Hidden Treasures[/h2]

[expand]
Hidden Treasures will run from March 16 through March 22. To participate, just log in to the event page with your World of Tanks credentials and play a treasure hunt game. Every day, flip five tiles on a 25-tile field to receive a special bonus code. You'll receive different prizes depending on the tiles you flip. However, you are guaranteed a day of WoT Premium Account on the first day of the event, a Training Guide on the second, and a new 2D style on the third.

How to activate the bonus code:

1. Launch the game from Steam and open the Wargaming.net Game Center.
   
2. Click your account’s avatar in the upper-left corner.
   
3. Choose the “Activate Wargaming Code” option.
   
4. Enter the bonus code in the required field.
   
5. Log in to the game and enjoy!
   

NOTE: To activate the bonus code, you must have an email address attached to your account. To do this, complete the following steps:

2. Click the “Add Email” button under your username.
   
3. Add and confirm your email address.
   

In the Wargaming.net Game Center

[/expand]
[h2]Battle Missions[/h2]

• The repeatable Good Luck missions, available during Happy Hours (every day from March 16 to March 20, from 18:00 to 22:00 CET (UTC+1) every day of the event), will reward you with extra XP or Crew XP.
  
• The Four-Leaf Clover missions can be completed up to 7 times per day and will be available all day long from March 16 through March 22. The WoT-branded stamps you earn from these missions can be exchanged for styles, decals, emblems, Personal Reserves, consumables, and more in the Homefront Supplies section of the Depot.
  

[h2]Green Light and Emerald Boxes[/h2]

During the Green Light event (from March 16 at 05:30 CET through March 22 at 05:30 CET (UTC+1)), you can purchase Emerald Boxes from the in-game Store, with a daily limit of 500 boxes. These boxes come in bundles with 5, 15, 50, or 75 boxes and an equal number of battle missions for ×5 XP.





Each Emerald Box may contain:

• One of 9 rare Premium vehicles (Probability: 2%)
  
• One of 10 rare 2D styles (Probability: 10%)
  
• A Crew Book or a male crew member with Brothers in Arms as a zero perk (Probability: 25%)
  
• One of the following: Days of WoT Premium Account, Personal Reserves, credits, or a battle mission for ×5 XP (Probability: 100%)
  

[expand]



















[/expand]
For every 50 Emerald Boxes you open, you’re guaranteed one of the nine Premium vehicles shown above. If a vehicle drops before the 50th box opening, the counter is reset.

The Emerald Boxes will only drop vehicles that you don’t already have in your Garage. Once you have all nine vehicles, the next vehicle drop will grant its value in gold instead.

If you don’t open all of your Emerald Boxes in time, they will open automatically at the end of the event.

[h2]Introducing: The Ka-Ri and the Forest Spirit[/h2]

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[expand]





[/expand]
During the event, the Emerald Boxes will be dropping two extra special Premium vehicles: the Ka-Ri, a brand-new Tier VIII Japanese assault TD, and the Forest Spirit (the SU-130PM), a tried-and-tested Soviet ambush TD with fresh looks reminiscent of green woods and druidic chants.

















May your Shamrock Days be lucky, Commanders!
