Posted on by

Are you ready to continue your epic tank journey in Battle Pass Season 2, Commanders?

If you enjoyed earning all the possible rewards in the first Season, you’ll be excited to hear we’ve got even more goodies coming your way! We’re actively working on the second Season of Battle Pass, which you can already experience during the third iteration of the Common Test. The new Season, featuring tons of sweet rewards, will kick off in June! You’ll have the opportunity to earn two new types of Bounty Equipment, up to two fresh 3D styles, an exclusive custom crew member, and more. Let’s take a sneak peek.

New Season, New Core Vehicles

Battle Pass Season 2 is available during the third Common Test only for preliminary testing. All rewards in Battle Pass during this Common Test are for testing purposes and will be replaced by other prizes, with the exception of the two new types of Bounty Equipment. Various characteristics and values that are relevant for the Common Test may not correspond to those in the final version.

No changes have been made to the core gameplay of Battle Pass or its progression mechanics since the first Season of the event launched. If you didn’t participate in the previous Season

Season 2 will feature two new Battle Pass Core Vehicles: the  X M48A5 Patton   (a Tier X American medium tank) and the  X TVP T 50/51   (a Tier X Czechoslovakian medium tank). These high-performance steel beasts have special rules for earning Progression Points, as well as increased Limits.

Gorgeous 3D Styles, Bounty Equipment, and Other Cool Prizes

Season 2 will offer you heaps of rewards:

Up to two smashing 3D styles for this Season’s Battle Pass Core Vehicles.

For one of the Core Vehicles, a unique custom crew member with Brothers in Arms (as a zero perk) and enough XP to learn two more perks/skills. The crew member’s nationality can’t be changed.

In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to grab two brand-new types of Bounty Equipment:

Bounty Optics                                        Bounty Stabilizer

Their characteristics can be improved to the level of improved equipment with credits, and you can demount them from your vehicle like standard equipment by using gold or a Demounting Kit.

And, of course, participating in the second Season of Battle Pass will fill your vault with heaps of valuable rewards. You can find a detailed list of all prizes in the game client after the Season launches.
