Season “Desert Warriors”

Complete the Desert Warriors Season combat missions, earn War Bonds as rewards and unlock trophy containers with valuable prizes for them.

The “Desert Warriors” season will last from March 13th to April 10th, 2025.

War Bonds and Keys cannot be used in the next season. After the end of the current season, War Bonds and Keys will be automatically used to open the relevant trophies in random campaigns. If you want to get rewards from a certain campaign, you have to use the War Bonds and Keys yourself before the end of the season, until 10:00 (GMT) on April 10th 2025.

The race for vehicles in the Big Trophy container begins a week from today, on March 20th, 2025.

Leaderboards

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 airplane campaign).

The rating season ends on April 3rd, 2025 at 10:00 (GMT). Rewards will be distributed within a few days after the leaderboards are frozen. It’s important to note that rewards may be given out at different times for different leaderboards.

Battle Pass

Complete special tasks, level up your Battle Pass and receive rewards for your completed steps.

🚩 Beginning with the "Desert Warriors" season, the Battle Pass reward system has been expanded to provide an endless progression. Upon completion of the 40th level and earning the seasonal decorator, players can continue to complete daily and weekly challenges to receive small, yet satisfying rewards for each subsequent tier completed.

When you purchase the VIP pass, you instantly receive premium camouflages on vehicles from the Medium Trophies of the tank and ship campaigns, for one of the aircraft, 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.
