Commanders!
The special military operation Mirny: Hope continues, as our brave commanders lead their extensively modified special vehicles into the ominous town of Mirny filled with anomalies, dangerous enemies, and other sinister surprises waiting in the shadows.
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td] [/td] [td]We have had reports of a strange anomaly recently discovered by our scientists. Some vehicles that return from our research missions come back with creepy patterns on them. These figures have a strong resemblance to the hand-drawn sketches of a surviving tanker who was part of the first Recon Squad sent to Mirny.[/td] [/tr] [/table] According to the data collected by our researchers, the anomaly leaves these patterns on the vehicles after certain steps are completed:

Halloween Sale: What a Bargain!
We have amazing news for all tankers out there! The spookiest holiday of the year brings impressive discounts on some of our DLCs—a great opportunity to add new vehicles to your collection!
Premium tanks have a variety of bonuses that make the game even more enjoyable and help you progress faster. These include:
Bonus to credits per battle—earn more credits for every battle you fight in a Premium tank. This is particularly useful if you are saving up for a Tier X!
Bonus to Crew XP per battle—crews train faster in a Premium tank, so use your Premiums to train your Tech Tree tank crews!
Elite status—all Premium tanks have their top configuration from the start, so you don’t need to research and buy modules. Elite status also means that you can use the Accelerate Crew Training option!
During the Halloween Sale, three Premium tanks will be on sale with discounts of up to 84%. More details on all three below:
1. 50TP prototyp (Tier VIII Polish heavy tank) - 40% off!
[expand type="details"] When you need some heavy power, bring in the 50TP prototyp, the Tier VIII Polish heavy tank from the Heavy Cavalry DLC. With its impressive gun depression, alpha damage and turret armor you can push the battle avenues and give your team many opportunities to grab the win.
Firepower and spotting. This vehicle is a great choice if you like using ridgeline tactics on the battlefield. This Pole has outstanding gun depression and as good alpha damage (output in one shot) as the Object 252U Defender, and even boasts a superior view range—very handy for exposing your enemies.
Speed. The 50TP prototyp, much like many heavies, is a rather slow vehicle. You’ll need to plan what position you want to take up in advance because you can’t rely on your reverse gear to save you from danger.
Protection. With great turret armor and good alpha damage, you’ll be a great support to your teammates by dishing out heaps of damage.
The 50TP prototyp features the unique ’Winged Hussar’ style, so this heavy is adorned in paintings of horsemen with spears, and the Polish flag on the sides. [/expand] Also in the package:
2. Cromwell B (Tier VI British medium tank) - 50% off!
[expand type="details"] The Lightweight Fighter DLC comes with the dangerous Cromwell B. This famous tank has taken part in a lot of battles and can help you win some of your own. This tank is fast, and its gun can turn the tide of the battle. Still, this is a medium, not a heavy tank, so you need to watch out and not allow your rivals to get too many shots in.
Cromwell B. The B stands for Berlin. The vehicle was made famous by the British 7th Armored Division. In their Cromwells they fought across France and into Germany, and eventually took part in the Victory Parade on September 7, 1945, in Berlin.
Speed and Firepower. There are two things that stand out about the Cromwell: It’s quick-firing gun can tear enemies apart and it boasts amazing speed. This tank plays nearly identically to the standard Cromwell, being able to be used as either an aggressive flanker or a mid-range support medium tank.
Protection. It’s a delicate tank and care must be taken to not take hits in the early stages of battle, as it will lower your ability to engage harder targets later on. [/expand] Also in the package:
3. AM 39 Gendron-Somua (Tier II French light tank) - 84% off!
[expand type="details"] This DLC’s name speaks for itself: French Express. The AM 39 Gendron-Somua is a French wheeled vehicle. It can reach high speeds and has an accurate gun. Wheeled vehicles are a special type, and it may take some practice to get used to not having tracks.
Speed. This is a light and very maneuverable vehicle. However, one thing you need to know about wheels—you can’t turn on the spot.
Protection. This vehicle doesn’t have much HP so you need to keep some distance between yourself and the enemies and choose the right time to attack while they can’t get a shot in.
Firepower. The AM 39 has an accurate gun with a high rate of fire. Your best tactics will utilize your maneuverability, concealment and the strengths of your gun. [/expand] Also in the package:
Don’t miss the chance to expand your tank collection, Commanders!

Event Summary
Battles take place in Mirny, a recently abandoned town where a major emergency has occurred.
Before the battle starts, you can choose from three difficulty levels: low, medium, or high. At the beginning of your combat journey, you can only play at a low difficulty level.
Fight as a team or Platoon of up to five players (Recon Squad) in six specially adapted vehicles. Three of them are available instantly, and you can unlock the remaining ones after completing certain progression stages or using gold.
Mix team and personal consumables to power up your vehicle. Consider the gameplay of a specific tank and your tactics in battle more effectively, and increase your chances of survival.
Fight AI opponents to collect a strange substance known as Mirium to encounter the Immortal and defeat it. Deliver Mirium to a special Collector called Magnus, shown on your minimap, before time runs out.
Once Magnus is filled with Mirium, you will be teleported to a new Phase.
There are three sequential Phases of one battle at low difficulty and four at medium and high difficulty.
Fight a variety of AI-driven armored enemies, each with their own unique behaviors, roles, and attacks.
The most powerful opponent is known as the Immortal, and this time, you'll have the opportunity to fight it in the fourth Phase when playing at medium and high difficulty levels! Your main task is to destroy the Immortal.
At the beginning of each Phase, you will receive Anomalies that provide bonuses to vehicles.
After completing certain Phases at different difficulty levels, you’ll be able to find out how the Immortal has become vulnerable. Each part of this story is recorded on one of eight Reels. They need to be decrypted one by one, using Decryption Keys you will earn when playing in the mode.
The main reward for decrypting all eight Reels and recreating the whole story is the King Tiger (Captured), a Tier VII Premium American heavy tank with a unique Mirny-inspired 3D style, Nox Tenebris.
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td] [/td] [td]Greetings, Commanders! My name is Hope. I am a Senior Researcher in a group of scientists studying the secrets of Mirny. The main problem I'm working on is how to defeat the Immortal. I think I've solved this riddle, but more on that later. In the meantime, let me tell you about the place where you will fight, as well as about Phase teleportation and Anomalies. [/td] [/tr] [/table]
How to Start Playing
1. In your Garage, choose the Mirny: Hope mode on the battle screen to the right of the Battle! button.
2. Click the event banner in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Difficulty Levels
Mirny: Hope features three difficulty levels: low, medium, and high. You can choose the difficulty level in your Garage before each battle. The difficulty level determines the number of credits and Decryption Keys (more on them below) you earn per battle, as well as the strength of the AI opponents. Plus, the difficulty level affects both the amount of Mirium you need to fill Magnus and the amount you get in battles with enemies.
Difficulty levels open sequentially. The first level is the least dangerous and consists of three Phases. Already in the first Phase, you will face the Immortal for the first time, but at this difficulty level, you will not be able to fight it.
Complete all three Phases at low difficulty to unlock the medium difficulty level, which consists of four Phases. If you can get to the last, fourth Phase, the Immortal will become vulnerable, and you will have a chance to annihilate it. If you manage to achieve this epic victory, then you will access the third and hardest difficulty level.
The high difficulty level will be quite challenging, even for experienced commanders, so get ready to fight with all your might. It is recommended to play at this level in well-coordinated Recon Squads.
Phase Teleportation and Anomalies
Destroy armored AI enemies to obtain a type of supernatural matter known as Mirium. Mirium will drop for each player individually, so you will see only your own load of matter, and no one else can pick it up—as long as you are alive.
When you spot the Immortal, you will notice it is surrounded by an aura. This aura will gradually sap your collected Mirium. Once your Mirium is depleted, the aura will begin to deal direct HP damage.
Collect Mirium and deliver it to a special Collector called Magnus, depicted on your minimap, before time runs out. Once Magnus is filled with Mirium, your team needs to gather around it within the allotted time, and you will be able to teleport to the next dimension, or Phase. If you don't reach Magnus in time to teleport with the rest of your team, your vehicle will automatically be destroyed. But this doesn’t mean that the battle is over—you will respawn in the next Phase, albeit with half your HP. You will also lose all your collected Mirium and bonuses from Anomalies.
With each new Phase, the AI enemies will become stronger and more dangerous. But your efforts will be rewarded: The more Phases you complete, the more credits you earn after the battle. Remember that it will be more difficult for you to navigate in each subsequent Phase, so always be on the lookout, and coordinate closely with teammates!
Mirny is an extremely dangerous and hostile place–lone wolves will not survive. Only together will you be able to stand up to your opponents, so create Recon Squads and fight as one close-knit team. You should stick with your teammates even when playing solo for a better chance of victory.
At the beginning of each Phase, your vehicle will receive a random buff, or Anomaly. It will increase your effectiveness in combat and carry over from Phase to Phase. If your vehicle is destroyed, you will lose all your Anomalies, as well as all collected Mirium and alternative shells. Be careful, and build up your forces to have a better chance of defeating the Immortal in the final stage of the battle.
There are nine types of Anomaly in the mode, each of which improves a specific parameter of your vehicle.
Mode Economy
All shells and vehicle repairs in the event are free. Depending on your performance in battle, you are awarded with credits. Each difficulty level has its own fixed number of credits you can earn for completing each Phase.

Unravel the Secret of the Immortal!
In Mirny, you will not only fight dangerous armored creatures, but you’ll also learn the backstory of the Mirny: Hope operation—how the Immortal became vulnerable. This mysterious story is captured on eight Reels, which you will receive one by one for completing certain Phases at different difficulty levels. Each Reel contains one piece of video footage, so you need to collect all eight to combine the disparate elements into a single picture and solve the enigma.
But since the information on the Reels is secret, they are all encrypted. To decrypt the Reels, you need Decryption Keys, a special event currency. You can get Decryption Keys in the following ways:
By playing in the event, depending on the difficulty level, Phase, damage dealt, and delivered Mirium
For completing the daily event mission in special vehicles (more on that below)
For free, as part of special bundles with valuable in-game items
Decryption Keys will be deducted at the end of the event on November 11 at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2), so you'd better spend unused Keys on decals as there will be no compensation for them.
You can decrypt Reels in any order you like after they are unlocked. For each Reel you decrypt, you will receive rewards: event-inspired decals, Personal Reserves, four unique crew members with 100% trained Brothers in Arms as a zero perk, and other prizes.
[expand type="details"]
[/expand] The rewards for decrypting each of the eight Reels will be listed in the game client, so you can choose which parts of the story to learn first and which prizes you’ll receive for them. The main reward for decrypting all eight Reels and recreating the whole story is the King Tiger (Captured)*. This mighty brawler comes with a striking Mirny-inspired 3D style, Nox Tenebris, designed especially for the Halloween event.
*If you already have the King Tiger (Captured) in your Garage, then after decrypting all eight Reels, you will get the 3D style and compensation in credits (2,680,000).
Additionally, you can exchange Decryption Keys for spooky event-themed decals. They were recreated from hand-drawn sketches of a surviving tanker who was part of the first Recon Squad sent to Mirny. These decals seemed to come out of the subconscious of a person who faced the inexplicable in the supernatural space of Mirny.
Want to get more Decryption Keys and get your hands on the formidable King Tiger (Captured) with less effort? Get special bundles for gold or real money in the in-game Store from October 28, available once per account. They contain gold, Personal Reserves, and free Decryption Keys as gifts.
[table noborder="1"] [tr] [td] [/td] [td]Okay, and now I give the floor to the head of the military operation in Mirny, Colonel Gromov. He will tell you more about the fearsome King Tiger (Captured), special event vehicles, and our work to improve some of the tanks we originally planned to send to Mirny. We later discontinued these projects, but our groundwork has been preserved as unique 3D styles that can be yours. [/td] [/tr] [/table] [table noborder="1"] [tr] [td] [/td] [td]Greetings, Commanders! It's time to finally solve the problem of Mirny, and I'll try to help you with this! But first, a few words about the main reward and the vehicles in which you will go into battle. [/td] [/tr] [/table]
Hail to the King… Tiger!
The King Tiger (Captured) is a Tier VII vehicle with the hull armor of the menacing Tier VIII Tiger II. Thanks to thick armor plates and their angles, it is reliably protected from enemy fire. The King Tiger (Captured) is equipped with a sharp-shooting gun, able to penetrate any opponents it faces when placed at the top tier in a match. Its impressive firepower is complemented by a long view range and good dynamics for a heavy, making the King Tiger (Captured) a coveted vehicle for every commander. And, of course, it is a good credit earner, so be sure to decrypt all eight Reels if you want to park this captured predator in your Garage!
The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.
[expand type="details"] [/expand]
Dark 3D Styles, Spooky Decals, and More!
Plus, you can get your hands on three dark 3D styles for these three great tanks:
IS-7
Leopard 1
Manticore
Initially, we wanted to send these vehicles to Mirny, so they were specially prepared for survival in the extreme conditions of this sinister place. These tanks are equipped with powerful searchlights, reservoirs for collecting Mirium, video cameras that are resistant to electromagnetic radiation, and other unusual elements. 3D styles can be purchased for 4,500 gold each in the game client.
IS-7
Leopard 1
Manticore
You can also earn an exclusive badge for decrypting all eight Reels. Finally, if at the end of your dangerous expedition you defeat the Immortal, you will be awarded a spectacular medal. Different medals are awarded for defeating the Immortal on medium and high difficulty, so take this chance to get them both!
[table noborder="1" equalcells="1"] [tr] [td] Tame the Beast[/td] [td] The Chosen One[/td] [td] Hope is the Key to Everything[/td] [/tr] [/table]
Minimap
During each Phase, you’ll face new enemies that spawn at certain points on the map. They will be stronger and more numerous than before, so each battle will be different from the previous one. Explore the mysterious space of Mirny, fight to the last, and don't forget to arrive at Magnus on time!
Special Vehicles
Six special vehicles have been prepared for the expedition to sinister Mirny. The following tanks will be initially available in the mode’s Garage, each with its own gameplay features:
Hornet (the AMX 13 90): a speedy and maneuverable light tank with an autoloader
Cerberus (the Centurion Mk. 7/1): a versatile medium tank with a solid turret and high rate of fire
Double (the IS-3-II): a mighty double-barreled heavy tank with powerful guns and tough armor
You will also have the opportunity to roll into battle in three even more formidable vehicles:
Malachite (the T-54): a medium tank with a great gun, decent armor, and good dynamics
Grenadier (the T49): a speedy light tank featuring a HE autoreloader
Legio Ferrata (the Progetto C50 mod. 66): a versatile heavy tank with a good balance of firepower and dynamics
You can access these vehicles by progressing in the mode and decrypting Reels (more on them below).
You can also access additional vehicles immediately by purchasing our special bundles using gold in the in-game Store with a special discount. All bundles contain days of WoT Premium Account and feature event vehicles as nice bonuses. You can get these tanks separately or together in a single bundle. The most complete bundle with all three vehicles also includes a Universal Training Manual to boost a crew of your choice.
Consumables
To increase your chances of survival in Mirny and to fight enemies more effectively, be sure to use special consumables. The event features Team consumables (giving bonuses to you and the entire team) and Personal consumables (giving bonuses to only your tank). Before the battle starts, you can obtain three of the seven available consumables (in addition to the default Turbocharger ability) for credits.
Turbocharger will be available for all event vehicles. It accelerates your vehicle for a limited time and increases the damage caused by ramming. This ability is free and doesn’t take up a slot.
Also, by default, all players will have a passive Phoenix ability. It automatically activates and respawns your vehicle after destruction with 50% of its hit points after your team enters the next battle Phase.
The use of all consumables is limited by the cooldown that begins after their effect is over.
When choosing a consumable, consider the gameplay of a specific vehicle and your tactics. For example, if you are going to storm the battlefield in the mighty Double (the IS-3-II), then Born Ready!, Energy Strike, and Emergency Repairs will help you fight more effectively on the front lines. And if you roll out in the speedy Hornet (the AMX 13 90), then the combination of Born Ready!, Pyrokinesis, and Energy Shield will allow you to rush behind enemy lines, deal a lot of damage, and retreat with lightning speed. Experiment with different consumable setups to increase your performance in battles.
Event Battle Mission
A daily event mission granting one Decryption Key will be available. You can complete it once in each of the six event vehicles to receive a total of six Decryption Keys.
AI-Driven Enemies
Each of the AI-driven armored enemies inhabiting Mirny will react differently to your presence, so you will have to use different tactics in different Phases. Know your enemies to win, and get ready for super intense battles.
[expand type="details"]
[/expand]
Come Challenge the Immortal!
The most dangerous enemy you will face in the finale of your dangerous expedition is the huge, well-armored monster known as the Immortal. Last time, our lack of knowledge didn't allow us to destroy the Immortal. But thanks to additional research and Hope's tenacity, we were able to unravel the mystery of its invulnerability. Now, the hunter and the victims have swapped places—complete the low difficulty level and unlock the medium one, where, in the fourth Phase, you will fight the Immortal. Push yourself to the limit and triumph!
The battle with this incredibly powerful monster will unfold on a limited area of the map, and only at medium and high difficulty levels. The Immortal is always accompanied by minions that will try to take your attention away from their boss, so you'll have to fight them, as well.
The showdown with the Immortal will take place in two stages. After you've dealt it some damage, it will retreat briefly before returning to the battlefield. All players destroyed in the first stage of the boss battle will respawn for a second chance to fight the Immortal. The Immortal's HP will be shown on a special progress bar.
The Immortal has weak spots you need to hit. This is most efficiently done using high-explosive shells, which you can collect from white spheres that drop from destroyed enemies. Stay at some distance from the Immortal and destroy its minions—only then will your chances of winning increase.
Reaching the final showdown with the Immortal and gathering information about it is already an epic achievement. And if you manage to win, then you can consider yourself a real hero of Mirny!
We have gathered a few tips that will help you succeed in this event and survive the dangers of Mirny:
1. Plan your budget!
Take into account the maximum number of credits that you can earn in a battle at each difficulty level when planning your next operation and choosing special consumables to increase your performance. Some consumables cost more than others. Make sure that you do not end up losing a bunch of hard-earned credits if you do not progress far enough in the battle!
2. Don’t split up!
Know what happens to the heroes that decide to split up in a horror movie? Nothing good, right? Always remain together with your squad and try to be organized with your tasks, marking points on the minimap and communicating with your allies via chat or quick commands. Mirny is no place for solo heroes—you act as one team or you don’t stand a chance. You’ve been warned!
3. Collect the white and green spheres!
They drop from destroyed enemy vehicles, contain alternative ammo types, and replenish some of your vehicle’s HP. They can be extremely useful in your missions, so don't miss them!
4. Stock up on Mirium early on!
The enemies are easier to deal with in the early stages—use that to your advantage and collect as much Mirium as you can! It will help you later in the more difficult and challenging stages.
5. Beware of the Hedgehogs!
These small machines create a devastating blast that can easily take away a great portion of your HP—they might even destroy you if you have already taken some damage! Do everything you can to avoid being hit by them—shoot them, run from them, and don’t forget to warn your squad when you see a bunch of Hedgehogs approaching. These guys are dangerous, and the Alpha version is even deadlier. Stay alert and stay safe.

Halloween 2021: The Incident in Mirny Continues
[previewyoutube="2qCdVMDUOvI;full"] The Directorate of Intelligence and Security
Intelligence Information Report
Report Class: Top Secret
Location: Mirny
Reporter: Undercover Agent M., call sign "Scientist"
Report to: Colonel N., Chief Intelligence and Security Officer
I bring to your attention that the group of scientists I have infiltrated has made significant progress in the study of the anomalous space of Mirny and the supernatural armored objects inhabiting it.
This success is largely due to the persistence and extraordinary analytical skills of the Senior Researcher of our scientific panel, Hope. Even though she has certain disagreements with Colonel Gromov, the head of the military operation in Mirny, it has become increasingly obvious that we have come close to answering a burning question: how to neutralize the Immortal.
Currently, scientists are working closely with Mirium and the information derived from the results of expeditions to the anomalous space of Mirny. In particular, we recently became aware of the effect that Mirium has on tank crews. I will provide more details on this phenomenon later.
But, most importantly, as a result of yet unclear circumstances, Hope was able to make significant progress in studying the Immortal’s vulnerabilities and its possible annihilation. She received important information after the raid of Recon Squad #36, which ended tragically. But the group managed to make video recordings of what was happening in Mirny, which served as a catalyst for Hope's further research.
At this point, we know for sure that the research team seems to be able to "pull" the Immortal into a new Phase, where its powerful defense malfunctions. Soon, another group of scouts will head to Mirny—we hope that they will be able to obtain new information and confirm our hypotheses.
Attached to the report is the dossier on Hope and the Colonel, which I have prepared while working undercover. They will help you form a more objective opinion about the motives for their actions and the goals that each of them pursues.
I also report that during previous raids in Mirny, we received updated data on the supernatural armored objects we encountered. We have identified another previously undetected enemy type. I am attaching a description of all currently known hostile objects in a separate dossier.
I’ll provide you with an actual report as soon as I have new information.

Activity #2: The Show-off
Event Dates
From October 14 at 11:00 UTC through October 24 at 11:00 UTC.
Our second event starts together with the first, but it’s even easier to participate in. All you need to do is complete a few simple steps:
Take a screenshot of your Steam profile that shows you unlocking any World of Tanks achievement.
Post it on your social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) with the hashtag #WoTSteam and your Steam username.
Make sure that your social media account is not private—we will need to check it to see if conditions are met.
NOTE: One player can get one reward per account. Even if you post your screenshots on several social media platforms or post several screenshots on one, you will still receive only one reward when the event is over.
After the event has finished and we have checked all the entries, everybody who completed all the steps correctly will receive two days of WoT Premium Account. You can get this reward AND the reward for the first event, so make sure to take part in both!
NOTE: Participating players must have their World of Tanks accounts associated with Steam to receive the rewards.
Participate, Unlock Achievements, Earn Prizes, and Have Fun!
We are extremely happy to release Steam Achievements for World of Tanks, and we hope that these additional activities will help you have tons of fun while exploring this feature. We invite you all to take on the challenge and wish you good luck in your achievement hunt!
Enjoy the newly added achievements, and do your best to collect them all!
Achievements Unlocked!
Commanders!
We are excited to bring you a long-awaited feature that we’ve been working on hard for the last couple of months - Steam Achievements. A total of 59 nice and shiny achievements are already in the game for the taking, so get ready for the hunt!
In this article we will tell you all that you want to know about the newly added achievements – mechanics, details and answers to all your possible questions – as well as provide a general overview. Let’s dive into it!
General Information
If you are new to Steam or, by any chance, not familiar with the Achievements concept, let us briefly explain. Achievements are optional unlockable features with different conditions related to your game progress, playstyle, certain milestones in the game etc. They are unlocked by meeting these conditions in the game or by interacting with the game in particular ways. When you get an achievement, you will receive a special Steam pop-up telling you what achievement you’ve just unlocked.
You can later display that achievement in your Steam profile to show how good you are in World of Tanks or just to brag to your Steam friends who haven’t managed to get it yet. And, of course, do not forget about that heavenly feeling when you have 100% of the achievements unlocked!
World of Tanks now has 59 available achievements. The achievements are closely tied to in-game progress, so you can get them all by actively playing the game, progressing through the tech trees and improving your battle skills. And don’t worry – we aren’t going to ask you to destroy a Maus 1000 times when playing as the MS-1 or to eliminate 16 enemy tanks in a single random battle. The achievements have been carefully designed to be possible and realistic for all players. Some of them may be harder to get than others, but don’t expect any impossible achievements with insane conditions.
Available Achievements: Full List
If you’d like all the details to plan your achievement-hunting strategy, we invite you to take a look at the full achievement list below.

Mechanics and Details
To help you understand exactly how the Achievements feature will work in different possible scenarios, we’ve prepared answers to the most important questions.
Q: Is all my progress before the Achievements release considered?
A: When we were developing the Achievements, our main concept was to make sure that they all can be completed by every single player. Most of the achievements are really easy to get, but there are some that will require some time to obtain. The captivating process of unlocking achievements, tracking your progress, hunting down “that last one” can be an extremely interesting experience. We feel that taking it all away from you by just giving them out based on your previous progress will mean robbing you of that sense of exploration and accomplishment. That’s why previous game progress will not be taken into account after the Achievements release.
However, our players already have outstanding results which we simply cannot leave without recognition, so we would like to reward your efforts and skills regarding some particular achievements. Thus, with the feature release, everybody who managed to complete the required conditions will receive the following achievements:
[table] [tr] [th]Icon[/th] [th]Name[/th] [th]Description[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td]You Must Be New Here[/td] [td]Complete the Bootcamp.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td]...And That's How You Do It[/td] [td]Complete all Briefing missions.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][/td] [td]Smooth Operation[/td] [td]Complete all Personal Missions in the same operation.[/td] [/tr] [/table] Q: Is the Achievement progress shared between all regions?
A: No. If you have two accounts on different regions, they will have separate achievements progress. However, Steam will display only the highest achievement progress for all regions. To help you understand this better, let’s look at an example:
A player has two accounts – an EU account and an NA account. On each account he has different progress on a certain Achievement, but on his EU account the progress is bigger than on his NA one. In this case, the EU progress bar will be shown for both accounts:
[table equalcells="1"] [tr] [th]Account [/th] [th]Achievement Progress [/th] [th]Displayed in Steam? [/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]EU [/td] [td]500 / 1000 [/td] [td]YES [/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]NA [/td] [td]450 / 1000 [/td] [td]NO [/td] [/tr] [/table] If the player stops playing on his EU account and starts grinding this achievement on his NA account, he will not see any progress in the achievement progress bar until the progress surpasses that of his EU account. As soon as the progress on the NA account is bigger, it will be displayed in Steam instead:
[table equalcells="1"] [tr] [th]Account [/th] [th]Achievement Progress [/th] [th]Displayed in Steam? [/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]EU [/td] [td]500 / 1000 [/td] [td]NO[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]NA [/td] [td]501 / 1000 [/td] [td]YES [/td] [/tr] [/table] Q: Will there be more achievements added in the future?
A: Achievements have just been released: explore them and rise to the challenge! The future of achievements is in your hands. After all, if you like them and want even more, feel free to let us know and share your ideas and suggestions.
Q: Will there be an achievement for unlocking all the achievements?
A: Right now, we do not have such an achievement for one simple reason: what if our players would like to see more achievements? We do not want to limit ourselves by adding a “final” achievement and will be paying a lot of attention to your reaction to this feature and your thoughts and ideas about its future.
Q: Do I get any prizes in the game when I unlock an achievement?
A: No. The achievements are designed to allow you to showcase your mastery in World of Tanks and share high results with friends and gaming communities in Steam, as well as guide you in your journey to becoming a skillful player.
Q: How much time do I need to get all the achievements?
A: We would like to emphasize again that we designed the achievements in such a way that every player is able to get them all. Of course, there are the easier ones and ones that will require a bit of extra effort, but we wanted to make the feature enjoyable and fun, so let’s just say that you won’t need to grind them for thousands of hours.
Let the Great Achievement Hunt Begin!
Achievements will bring a whole new perspective to playing World of Tanks, adding a new level of competitiveness between you and your friends and setting some goals for your future in the game.
In the upcoming article we will tell you more about the Community Events and Activities that will launch soon to support the release of the Achievements, so stay tuned!
Roll out onto the battlefield and let the hunt begin!
