We're happy to present the new "Apex Predators" trophy that contains 40 new camouflages created by talented authors on the Live.WT portal!

It's really easy to earn the new trophy — just keep playing War Thunder. To open the trophy you’ll need to purchase a key on the Market (income is shared with the authors of the camouflages). The key allows you to get a coupon for a camo, rare vehicle, or Apex Predators decal. It is you to decide - activate the coupon on your account, or trade it on the Market to get Gaijin Coins (GJN). Also, a trophy can be sold too!

[h2]Contents in the “Apex Predators” trophy:[/h2]

• Coupons for rare vehicles
  
• 21 camouflage coupons for ground vehicles
  
• 15 camouflage coupons for aircraft
  
• 2 camouflage coupons for naval vessels
  
• 2 camouflage coupon for helicopters
  
• Coupon for the "Apex Predators” decal

To unlock the trophy, you will need a new “Apex Predators" key that can be purchased on the Market for GJN.

[h2]How to get it?[/h2]

• The “Apex Predators” trophy drops periodically (with a specific probability) in random battles in all modes (except for the cooperative PvE “Assault” mode).
  
• The minimum requirements to earn a trophy will be to participate in a battle, in a vehicle of rank II or higher, while achieving a battle-activity of at least 50%.
