To get into the campaign leaderboard, you need to fight at least 5 battles using vehicles from the relevant campaign (tank and ship take-offs don't count for access to the Aviation Campaign).

In the Leaderboard rewards, avatars are being replaced by unique decals, which will be given to players who reach the Top 10 and Top 1%.

When you purchase the VIP pass, you instantly receive special camouflages for one vehicle from the trophies of each campaign, as well as automatically completing 10 steps from the Battle Pass lineup. If you have already purchased an upgraded BP, the cost of the VIP pass will be reduced.

The unique camouflages are given when you purchase a VIP pass no matter if you have a vehicle.
