World of Tanks News

The New Year is here, but the holiday spirit will live on for a while yet, Commanders!

Our festivities run until January 9, 2023, at 07:00 CET (UTC+1), so you still have a week to complete some Holiday Ops to-dos! Here's a checklist to help you take full advantage of all the Holiday Ops benefits.

[h2]1. Complete the Holiday Ops 2023 Challenge![/h2]

Even if you missed the beginning of the event, you are not at a disadvantage! All missions are cumulative and can be completed at the same time.

By completing these missions, you can get your hands on a load of nice juicy rewards, including the following:

• A unique medal, cool inscriptions, and an amazing decal
  
• A spectacular 2D style featuring Milla Jovovich and unique Marks of Excellence
  
• Milla Jovovich herself as a tank commander with an exclusive voiceover—Milla comes with fully trained Repair and Firefighting skills, Brothers in Arms as a zero perk, and enough experience to learn a fourth skill or perk
  

Additionally, completing Missions From Milla will grant you credit discounts on researchable vehicles.

Didn't manage to complete last year’s Missions From Arnie during Holiday Ops 2022? After you complete all 28 Missions From Milla, you will have the opportunity to unlock additional Missions From Arnie. You can unlock up to four missions in total, and completing each one will earn you a cool Arnie-themed reward, including Arnold Schwarzenegger himself as a tank commander with a unique voiceover!

[h2]2. Finish Assignments From Guests![/h2]

And don’t forget about Assignments from our incredible guest stars, Milla and Arnie! Complete these special quests by spending a certain amount of Warm Amber and Meteoric Iron. Upon completing a given number of Assignments, you will receive stunning decals and spectacular 2D styles from Milla and Arnie with unique Marks of Excellence.

[h3]New 2D Style from Milla[/h3]



[h3]New 2D Style from Arnie[/h3]



On top of that, each completed Assignment From Arnie or Milla simultaneously increases all economic bonuses in the game! When you finish an Assignment, you'll slightly increase the bonus to credits and bonuses to all types of XP—Free, Combat, and Crew—in Random Battles (including Grand Battles).

[h2]3. Reach Festive Atmosphere Level X to Get the Maximum Rewards Possible![/h2]

Be sure to reach Festive Atmosphere Level X to obtain all the valuable in-game rewards available within this event progression! You can get up to four female crew members, a brand-new festive 2D style with unique Marks of Excellence, and much, much more!

To improve the Festive Atmosphere Level, you need to upgrade decorative objects from Level 1 to Level 5 by investing Rock Crystal and Pure Emerald. Take your time collecting them in various ways, including by completing Daily Missions and visiting your Best Friends’ Villages. The holiday season is a great time to pay visits to your fellow tankers and get some extra resources!

[h2]4. Don't Miss Your Chance to Get Formidable Vehicles and Cool 3D Styles![/h2]

Your festive Village will be disabled at the end of the event on January 9, 2023, so you will no longer be able to purchase Large Boxes. If you’re short on resources, now is the best time to grab them! And, of course, Large Boxes may drop exclusive Tier VIII and IX Premium vehicles, including these three brand-new tanks:

• NEW! The M47 Iron Arnie : A multi-role American Tier VIII medium tank with an enhanced armament and armor. It’s based on the same vehicle that Arnold Schwarzenegger owns!
  
• NEW! The BZ-176 : A Chinese Tier VIII heavy tank, and a pioneer of the upcoming branch that features the new jet booster mechanic.
  
• NEW! The Char Mle. 75 : A French Tier IX light tank, and the first Tier IX Premium vehicle from Large Boxes! It features two speed modes and is equipped with a unique six-shell autoloader.
  

You might also find a brand-new 3D style for one of the following Tier IX or X vehicles:

• Jupiter Fulgur for the Super Conqueror
  
• Sleipnir for the Strv 103B
  
• Asterius for the Controcarro 3 Minotauro
  
• Constellation for the Bat.-Châtillon 155 58
  
• Levante for the Char Futur 4
  

[h2]After the Event[/h2]

• Once the event ends, you won’t be able to apply unused credit discounts on researchable vehicles. Be sure to activate them before January 9, 2023.
  
• Any unopened Large Boxes and unspent Gift Terminal Tokens will be opened and spent automatically at the end of the event, and their rewards will be stored on your account.
  
• All of your unspent Holiday Ops resources that you accumulated during the event will disappear.
  
• After the end of the event, once the festive Holiday Ops Garage is disabled, your dog friend Chaffee will bid you farewell and leave with all his items you purchased, which will not be compensated.
  

We hope that you've been enjoying Holiday Ops 2023, winning many epic battles and earning tons of great rewards, Commanders! Stay warm, and keep yourself in a festive mood!

Battle Pass: Judgment Day is a one-time in-game event based on a collaboration between World of Tanks and the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This standalone special event has many of the signature Battle Pass mechanics but is not part of the 2023 Battle Pass sequence. Along with more traditional prizes, such as Bounty Aiming, the reward roster of Judgment Day includes a rich selection of unique Terminator 2-themed items: voiced vehicle commanders, 2D styles, decals, and a one-of-its-kind Premium tank as the ultimate Improved Reward.

[h2]Key Features of Battle Pass Special: Judgment Day[/h2]

Battle Modes: You can earn Points in Random Battles (except for Grand Battles), as well as by completing Daily Missions.

Vehicle Tiers: You can earn Battle Pass Points in Random Battles by fighting in Tier VI–X vehicles, including rental vehicles. However, you can complete Daily Missions in any vehicle tier.

Progression: Battle Pass: Judgment Day consists of 50 Stages. You do not need to activate the progression like you do with Chapters of regular Battle Pass, so everyone participates in the event automatically.

Improved Pass: You can purchase an Improved Pass for 3,500 gold and gain access to additional rewards that include the T-832 tank. Stages can only be purchased with an Improved Pass.

Main Rewards: Themed in-game content created in collaboration with Terminator 2, including the T-832, a Tier VIII Premium tank with unique looks and special effects making references to the movie, as well as voiced vehicle commanders from the Terminator 2 universe, 2D styles, decals, and inscriptions.

[h2]Grab the Free DLC![/h2]

Until January 26, 2023, all Steam players can get an exclusive, time-limited DLC completely for free! With the Judgement Day: Free Pack DLC, you get three unique “Mission: Termination” Decals to decorate your favorite vehicles, as well as a bunch of Personal Reserves to boost your progress in the game.

[h2]The Judgment Day-Themed Content Set[/h2]

The collaboration between Terminator 2: Judgment Day and World of Tanks produced a series of themed in-game content that includes a unique vehicle—the T-832—and special commanders, 2D styles, decals, and inscriptions. This set of content will be available throughout the Battle Pass: Judgment Day event, with parts of it obtainable as Base and Improved Rewards or via in-game Store bundles (the latter will also be available after the end of the event until January 31). Collect all in-game Terminator 2-themed items!



[h2]Accessing the Battle Pass: Judgment Day Screen[/h2]

You can access the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen by clicking on a very recognizable event icon at the top of your Garage.



[h2]Progression System[/h2]

Battle Pass: Judgment Day consists of 50 Stages. You need to earn 50 Points in order to move from one Stage to the next.

You can also purchase Stages. This way, you do not need to earn Points. You can only purchase Stages with an Improved Pass.

[h2]Battle Pass Points[/h2]

Battle Pass Points can be earned in the following ways:

• In all types of Random Battles (except Grand Battles)
  
• By completing Daily Missions
  

The Points you earn cannot be lost.

You can receive Points by playing in Tier VI–X vehicles in Random Battles.

The number of Points you receive after each battle will depend on your rank in the team results by XP earned. Even if your team loses or draws, you will still receive Battle Pass Points.



Points can be obtained by completing Daily Missions. Note that you can complete Daily Missions in any vehicle tier.

The more difficult the mission, the more Points you earn.

For every 45 Daily Missions completed, you will receive an additional 50 Battle Pass Points.

[h2]Point Limit[/h2]

Each vehicle has a Point Limit that can be reached while playing in Random Battles. The higher the vehicle tier, the higher the Point Limit.

Once you reach the Point Limit on your selected vehicle, you will receive additional Points. How many additional Points you earn will depend on your vehicle's tier.



The Point Limit only applies to Points earned in Random Battles.

You can also earn Points in Tier VI–X rental vehicles. If you rent a vehicle and then decide to buy it permanently, the Points earned with the vehicle during the rental period will be saved.

Points received in Daily Missions do not affect the Point Limit, meaning you can earn Points in Daily Missions in a vehicle even after the Point Limit for that vehicle has been reached.

[h2]Improved Pass[/h2]

Upon completing each Stage, you will receive valuable rewards. There are two types of rewards: Base Rewards and Improved Rewards. Only players with an Improved Pass can receive Improved Rewards.

You can purchase an Improved Pass on the Judgment Day screen (also accessible via the special banner in the in-game Store) at any time during the event.

Immediately after purchasing an Improved Pass, you will receive all of the Improved Rewards for the Stages that you have already completed.

[h3]Follow these steps to purchase an Improved Pass:[/h3]

• Click the Battle Pass: Judgment Day icon in the Garage.
  
• On the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen, click Purchase Improved Pass.
  
• Click Purchase to confirm the purchase. The cost of an Improved Pass—3,500 gold—will be charged to your account.
  

[h3]Purchasing Stages[/h3]

After acquiring an Improved Pass, you will be able to purchase any number of Stages.

• You will immediately receive all Base and Improved Rewards for the purchased Stages, and those Stages will be considered completed. One Stage costs 250 gold.
  
• You can buy Stages on the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen. You can purchase as many Stages as necessary until the event progression is complete.
  

[h2]Battle Pass: Judgment Day Rewards[/h2]

You will receive valuable items for completing Stages. Below is the full list of Base and Improved Rewards for the Battle Pass: Judgment Day progression.



[h2]The T-832[/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]
Some of the rewards must be singled out. The T-832 is a formidable war machine that stands out in the battlefield due to its combat efficiency as well as its unique visual effects inspired by the Terminator 2 movie.

[h2]The 2D Styles[/h2]

The Mimetic Polyalloy 2D style was inspired by the ability of T-1000's liquid metal to keep memory of every hit it had ever taken.



[expand]









[/expand]
The Skynet Bastion 2D style is a creation of an advanced AI and as such is purely functional (including the custom marks of excellence).



[expand]









[/expand]
[h2]Battle Pass: Judgment Day Bundles[/h2]

Throughout the event and for some time afterwards (from January 12 through January 31), special bundles with Judgment Day content and more will be available in the in-game Store for gold. Via these bundles, you can obtain special vehicle commanders Sarah Connor and T-1000, plus other valuable items.

Each bundle can be purchased up to three times per account.

The Step Into Eternity 2D style is dedicated to the hard decision made by the T-800 in the movie’s finale.



[expand]









[/expand]
[h2]End of the Judgment Day Event[/h2]

Here is what to expect at the end of Battle Pass: Judgment Day:

• The event screen will no longer be accessible.
  
• Once the active phase of the event ends at 5:20 CET on January 26, you will no longer be able to purchase the Improved Pass and Stages.
  
• The Judgment Day bundles in the in-game Store will remain available until January 31.
  
• The commanders will be available for recruiting for an unlimited period.

Commanders!

In January 2022 we released a bunch of WoT-themed customizations for the Steam Points Shop. Since then, we’ve come across hundreds of Steam users with a World of Tanks animated frame, avatar, or profile background—and we’re happy to see them every single time! We were excited to receive lots of positive feedback from you, so adding more eye-catching items to the WoT Points Shop was only a matter of time. And the time has come!

We are adding nine brand-new animated customization elements for you to decorate your profiles with: three new avatars, two frames, two profile backgrounds, and two mini-profile backgrounds. All these items are divided into two sets, one of which is festive and snowy, imbued with the special atmosphere of the winter holidays, while the other is brutal and dusty, inspired by one of the coolest-looking maps in World of Tanks: Highway. Collect them all and mix them up as you like!

If you’re unfamiliar with the mechanics of Steam Points, click the expand button below for a quick overview.

[expand]
You can get Steam Points in the following two ways:

• By shopping on Steam: Every $1.00 you spend on any game, DLC, hardware, application, soundtrack, or in-game items gives you 100 Steam Points.
  
• By receiving awards from the Community: If your Steam activity (e.g. reviews, comments, screenshots, videos, guides, or Workshop items) gets awarded by other Steam users, you will receive a certain number of Steam Points for each award.
  

You can spend Steam Points in the following ways:

• By awarding another member of the Steam Community
  
• By purchasing items in the Steam Points Shop to customize your Steam presence (choose from a variety of emoticons, profile backgrounds, avatars, frames, and many other items)
  

Also, keep in mind that Steam Points don’t expire, and the Points Shop is always available for you to visit and grab something that catches your eye. If you still have questions and need more details, you can check out this page for more information.

Commanders!

World of Tanks celebrated its 12th anniversary in 2022, and it was a compelling, eventful year for our game.

We added a new branch of Italian tank destroyers and launched Arcade Cabinet, a platform for experiments and weekend battles with non-standard rules. You had the opportunity to test yourself in Onslaught, explore new maps in Recon Mission, go on an adventure in Pumpkin Bash, and join Random Battles in the legendary Waffenträger auf E 100.

To improve your gameplay experience, we also introduced new matchmaking rules for wheeled vehicles and SPGs. Also, the Sixth Sense perk became a special feature for all vehicle commanders. All that and much more has been done together with you—many thanks to everyone for your support and feedback!

[h3]What's Next?[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
We have big plans. Ahead of us is the next stage of work on vehicle rebalancing and adding new vehicle branches to the game. In the Recon Mission mode, we'll continue to experiment with settings and maps, as well as introduce unusual rules. A new location will be added to the map list for Random Battles, while the existing maps will constantly be improved.

All the features you've enjoyed will be continued and enhanced. Spectacular game events await—including Onslaught, Frontline, and Steel Hunter—and will be launched several times a year.

Starting from February 2023, we'll be launching detailed content on upcoming features and game events. There really are a lot of plans, so stay tuned to find out all the details and share your feedback!

But for now, we hope you’re enjoying the cool rewards and festive atmosphere of Holiday Ops 2023. Together with our incredible celebrities, we plan to continue bringing you many more wonderful surprises and memorable moments!

The holidays always come to an end sooner or later, but World of Tanks stays with you all year round! Good luck in Holiday Ops, Commanders!

Don't miss your chance to replenish your stock of gold, days of WoT Premium Account, and other goodies through the current event—it’ll come in handy in the upcoming year!
