Battle Pass

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

When you purchase the VIP pass, you instantly receive premium camouflages on vehicles from the Medium Trophies of both campaigns, 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.

Camouflages for tanks and ships from the Medium Trophy are given after purchasing a VIP pass, even if you do not own these vehicles. Camouflages for airplanes are not included into the VIP pass rewards, because airplanes don't have separate camouflages yet.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards are open already! The top 10 players in the aviation leaderboard will have a choice of 1 of the Premium aircraft of the season. Other rewards are similar to tank and ship leaderboards.

Leaderboard conditions:

• To join the ship leaderboard a minimum of 5 naval battles is required.
• For the tank leaderboard you need to have participated in at least 5 battles using ground vehicles.
• To join the aviation leaderboard you need to have participated in at least 5 battles using aircraft in Aviation Campaign (tank and ship flights are not included).
