World of Tanks Blitz News

[p]The atmosphere fizzes with the warm glow of the festive lighting, snow crunches pleasantly underfoot, and the scent of hot cocoa wafts through the crisp winter air. This special place is just perfect for a New Year adventure: welcome to Festive Town![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p] It hides an abundance of rewards and gifts in every street. Free Premium tanks, the brand-new "For the Win!" Animated Profile Background, the Snowplow Garage Gear with a husky on the roof, and the new GSOR the TANK await! There are no wrong routes in Festive Town. Take any you like to discover this place!
[/p][h2]Town Square[/h2][p]Offers a splendid view of the town and a chain of rewards. You'll discover two Festive Tank Certificates: one for a Tier VII tank and the other for a Tier IX–X tank. Plus a very precious Music Box! It might even drop the GSOR the TANK.

You'll need Hot Cocoa to claim all the rewards. You can earn up to 30 Hot Cocoa each day by winning battles.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]Christmas Tree[/h2][p]Oh! What a beauty! The most pleasant part—you can decorate it to your liking!

Decorating the Christmas Tree applies a credit bonus of up to 25% for every battle! The more Ornaments from the same collection it's decorated with, the bigger the bonus.

Get Ornaments from Festive Town containers, Music Boxes, Ornament Collection Boxes, and the Mini-Game on our website. Ornaments may drop after victorious battles.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]Yuletide Stall[/h2][p]So many goods to enjoy here—pick and choose! Pay with credits, gold, and Free XP.

You'll find Ornament Collection Boxes and one Music Box. Plus, here's an Operation Container. Right, the one that may drop the AE Phase I! But the highlight of the Stall is the Festive Town Container. All sorts of things are in there! Grab gold, Hot Cocoa, and Ornaments, or a random tank.
[/p][h2]Shooting Gallery[/h2][p]No pain, no gain! The Shooting Gallery rewards only the best of the best because its currency is neither gold nor credits—it's Class I or Ace Tanker Mastery Badges. Earn them in battle to claim prizes.

The Snowplow Garage Gear, your indispensable assistant in the search for treasure, also awaits you here. Plus, the Festive Gatling attachment. It reacts to your actions in battle: shivering from incoming damage and celebrating when you destroy an enemy.

Just like the Yuletide Stall, the Shooting Gallery has Operation Containers, Festive Town Containers, and one more Music Box. What's inside? Wait for it!
[/p][h2]Music Box[/h2][p]It holds the treasures of our town. Get a lot of gold, Ornaments, Hot Cocoa, and resources, guaranteed. And if you're lucky enough—the rarest customizations together with a Tier X vehicle, including the new GSOR the TANK![/p][p][/p][p] [/p]

[p][/p][p]There's nothing like returning to your hometown in winter—visiting relatives, walking the familiar streets adorned with decorations, and, of course, exchanging presents! What are the holidays without them? Luckily, yours are already here! In the new Operation, you'll take a stroll through the festive town, and claim avatars, war paints, and the Hearthlight Legendary camouflage for the VK 100.01 (P)![/p][h2]
How Do I Get Rewards?[/h2][p]
You'll need a Tier III or higher vehicle to participate.

The Operation has two progression paths, each offering 60 levels with rewards. The first path is available to all regular Pass holders—so, everyone! The second path offers more rewards and is exclusively available to Premium Pass holders. Complete the Operation missions to boost your Pass level and earn rewards.

Just keep in mind that your Pass level will increase automatically, but you'll need to take action to collect the rewards. [/p][p][/p][h2]What Are the Rewards?[/h2][p]
Tons of resources, a Collector tank, themed warpaints and avatars, a profile background, certificates that provide XP bonuses for victories, and a Legendary camo for a researchable Tier VIII vehicle![/p]

[h2]For the First Time Ever—Hybrid Nation Researchable Tanks![/h2][p][/p][p]Until now, the Hybrid Nation lineup was made up entirely of Collector and Premium vehicles. But now it's a full-on Tech Tree—so far just one branch, but wow, what a branch![/p][p] [/p][p]The new branch returns to Blitz's roots: charge forward, break through, bounce shells, and just have pure fun. That's exactly what it was made for![/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]Ready for Some Action?[/h2][p][/p][h3]Festive Town Event[/h3][p] [/p][p]For the winter holidays, the Garage will be transformed and filled with a magical atmosphere.

To find out what you'll get, tune in to the Jingle Shells Stream on December 19. [/p][p] [/p][h3]Souvenir Store Event[/h3][p] [/p][p]Let's congratulate each other and celebrate everything we've achieved this year together![/p][p][/p][h2]Balance Changes[/h2][p][/p][p]Tier X tanks will play differently: we've rebalanced vehicles that were too powerful and boosted the characteristics of the less popular ones. We've also reduced burst damage for certain tanks, adjusted shell types and speeds, and updated view ranges. Find all the details on our website.[/p][p][/p][h2]Gun Marks[/h2][p][/p][p]You can now earn Gun Marks on Tier VIII vehicles. Check out our special news article on the website to see exactly how the Gun Marks work.[/p][p] [/p][p]And to make it easier to find the tank you're looking for, we've added a new carousel sorting option—by Gun Marks![/p]
