Battle Pass

If you wish to maximize your return on time and money invested into playing World of Tanks, you need to purchase World of Tanks Tips & Tricks by Glen Myers. The book is filled with his unique perspective on game play, and he provides insight into many aspects of the game as well as providing quite a few time-saving shortcuts. Now in paperback!

Battle Pass is Wargaming’s method of keeping everyone playing the game! As you play any of your tier VI through X tanks in Random Battles, you will earn Battle Pass Tokens that can be spent in the in-game store. Battle Pass Tokens can also be earned in Ranked Battles and by completing your Daily Missions. With each completed stage, you will earn equipment, credits and various consumables.

 

There are always multiple chapters to choose between, and each chapter has 50 stages. Every time you complete a stage, you will receive various rewards (credits, gear, consumables, crew training manuals, etc.) You’ll also accumulate Battle Pass Tokens which can be spent toward the end of the year on equipment or even rare tanks.

 

You can start earning Battle Pass Tokens without choosing one of the chapters. Basically, you will collect the tokens and then when you finally choose a chapter, you’ll receive all the rewards simultaneously that you would have received by slowly progressing through the chapter.

 

There are two types of rewards for each completed stage: standard and “improved”. Improved rewards are only available by purchasing an “Improved Pass” which costs around $30 USD. Standard rewards are available to everyone else regardless of whether or not you have a Premium account.

 

Each of the three chapters typically has style rewards as well. For example, this current season features aesthetic rewards for the tier X USA TD the T110E4. There are four levels of aesthetic rewards. You will receive the style improvements at the 1^st, 10^th, 30^th, and 50^th completed stage. When you finally complete the entire chapter related to the T11OE4, you will receive the final aesthetic enhancement as well as a new crew member that can be trained in whatever vehicle you wish to train her. The crew member will have Brothers in Arms trained at 100% plus an additional two skills/perks of your choice also trained at 100%.

 

In my opinion, the best reward for participating and completing a Battle Pass chapter is the crew member. This is where I typically get my crew members for my new tanks. I’ll save them and assign them a tank near the end of the year. I rarely start playing a brand-new tank with an untrained crew. In fact, I won’t even buy a new tank unless I have a well-trained crew to stick inside it immediately after purchase.

The Battle Pass seasons are a good way to keep the game fresh. By keeping players busy and giving them something to work toward each day, the player pool will always remain high.
