[h2]How to get rewards?[/h2]Operation Onslaught includes two reward progressions, each of which is divided into 40 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to all players, while the lower (gold) progression can only be accessed by Premium Pass owners.



Increase the level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Stamps:

10 Stamps = 1 level

Although the level increases automatically, you need to collect the rewards manually.

You can earn a total of 15 Stamps each day. Premium Pass owners get access to an additional mission that provides another 5 Stamps. With Premium Pass, you can earn 20 Stamps a day and unlock 2 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your level using gold.

[h2]Untold Riches![/h2]The higher the level of your Pass, the bigger your fortunes and the fuller your Storage. For completing all levels, you can get up to:



[h2]Collector Tanks![/h2]
At Level 1 of the Operation, Premium Pass owners will get tier-IV Covenanter, a mobile light tank with impressive firepower.



At level 35, you'll get tier-VI Thunder. It's a special version of the KV-1S with a powerful 122 mm gun and reinforced armor, but, at the same time, decreased mobility. The main attraction of this tank is its appearance. Nothing in the world could be more beautiful than the Thunder at full speed. The star on the side of its turret shines so brightly that it immediately inspires you to glorious victories.

Experience the new Gravity Force mode! Fight in the moon's gravity and float over the lunar surface on the Sea of Tranquility map! Take flight over the battlefield or send your enemies hurtling across the entire map!
Gravity Force battles don't affect your stats.
Here's when you'll be able to fight in Gravity Force:
CIS: from April 10, 10:00 (MSK) to April 16, 23:00 (MSK)
Europe: from April 10, 10:00 (CEST) to April 16, 23:00 (CEST)
North America: from April 10, 7:00 (PT) / 10:00 (ET) to April 16, 20:00 (PT) / 23:00 (ET)
Asia: from April 10, 10:00 (UTC+8) to April 16, 23:00 (UTC+8)

Only Tier V–X vehicles are allowed in this mode.
Space battles are a serious matter. So first off, a mission briefing!



Here are the basic rules for fighting in the moon's gravity:

• In Gravity Force, gravity is several times lower. Just put the pedal to the metal and let the terrain help you blast off!
  
• Even while in flight, you won't lose control of your vehicle. You can turn or tilt the hull to slightly change your trajectory.
  
• Lower gravity makes falling less painful. In Gravity Force, damage from falling is significantly reduced.
  
• In low gravity, the recoil from taking a shot becomes much more noticeable. The lighter the tank and the larger the gun caliber, the farther the vehicle is thrown backwards upon firing. Spin it to your advantage. Fire to speed up or change your flight path.
  
• When a shell hits an enemy tank, it will not only cause damage but push it backwards. The more powerful your gun and the smaller the target's weight, the farther the enemy is thrown back. Shoot an enemy tank as soon as its tracks leave the surface and watch it fly away! ATGM shells are best suited for this purpose as one precise hit will send the enemy on an express trip to the other side of the map.
  
• In Gravity Force, tanks' engine power and top speed will be significantly increased. Don't be surprised when you see heavies drifting on turns or light tanks soaring over the battlefield like birds. Space birds with large caliber guns.
  

In Gravity Force, you'll have to leave your home planet and join the fight on the surface of the moon. Welcome to the Sea of Tranquility!



All the sights of the Moon await you here: fantastic space views, a complex landscape with many hills and natural ramps, and even a secret scientific base.
Cosmic cold and lunar darkness make it the perfect place for intense tank battles!



Due to an unknown anomaly, the moon's gravity has taken effect even on Earth. In addition to the Sea of Tranquility, Gravity Force battles will be available on the Mirage, Desert Sands, Dead Rail, Oasis Palms, Winter Malinovka, and Normandy maps.




Battle in Gravity Force and get rewards for the first 10, 20, and 30 victories!


A last little tip before starting: it’s cold in space, so don’t forget to put on a spacesuit. And a hat!
