Summer may be over, but the prizes in World of Tanks Blitz are not! Fight in Rating Battles in September and earn cool rewards: gold, camouflage, an avatar, bonuses to XP and credits, and the IS-6 Fearless. And in a month, you might find yourself among the best tankers in the game.
Play in Tier VII–X vehicles from September 5 to September 30, 23:59 (UTC).
Fight ten calibration battles. Based on the results, you will be placed into one of five Leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond.
Earn rating points and progress up the leaderboard, while moving from one League to another!
The better you perform in battle, the more rating points you'll receive.
The future. Cozy... bright... shining... At least, this is what you see after you've been enhanced with neural implants. You can hardly recall what reality actually looks like: smoke-filled days, endless nights, acidic puddles reflecting pink and blue neon lights instead of stars... Everything may be packed with technology, but the city lives by the same rule as it did hundreds of years before: take what's yours at any cost.
Operation Code: Fatal includes two reward progressions, each of which is divided into 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to all players, while the lower (gold) progression can only be accessed by Premium Pass owners. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Chips: 10 Chips = 1 level. Although the Level increases automatically, you will need to collect the rewards manually.
CIS: from September 1, 8:00 (MSK) to September 29, 8:00 (MSK)
Europe: from September 1, 14:00 (CEST) to September 29, 14:00 (CEST)
North America: from September 1, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET) to September 29, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET)
Asia: from September 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to September 29, 14:00 (UTC+8)
The Temptations of the Future
In the world of Code: Fatal, nobody struggles to survive. Power, might, wealth, exclusive camouflage, avatars, profile backgrounds, top vehicles... These are the things that matter. All this can become yours if you earn Chips and increase the Pass Level.
The Best Weapons
With a Premium Pass on hand, you'll get the tier IV Durchbruchswagen 2, a retro heavy tank from the old days, at Level 1. With a great amount of HP, high damage per shot, and not a single microcircuit, nobody will be able to hack and override it.
Then at Level 35 of the Pass, you'll gain access to the Tier VI Eraser BP44. There are two scary things in this world. The first is the kill code that erases your data. The second is the Eraser.
The drone scans the area in front of the tank before the battle. The cold fusion engine shines brighter depending on the speed. And while there's a compartment with riot control weapons hidden on the left part of the turret, the Eraser never gets to use them because the gun, a reliable though significantly reworked piece of firepower, is usually sufficient.
Thanks to its improved recoil and gas systems, high damage, and sturdy armor, the Eraser BP44 is the best weapon in this new world. High-tech, ruthless, extremely effective, and fatal.
Code: Fatal Profile Background
A special decoration awaits you at Level 80. In the style of Operation Code: Fatal, your statistics screen will be decorated in neon and with the Eraser. The same picture will appear in the background of your nickname in battle results.
Resource Vaults
They accumulate credits and Free XP as you win! Premium Pass gives you access to the Gold Vault, which starts off with 125 Gold and has an overall capacity of 2,000 Gold.
Autumn Season 2020 is just around the corner, which means it's time to team up and make sure your favorite tanks are ready for intense tournament battles! This year, expect even more heart-pounding battles, strong reactions, and cool rewards. The final showdown will take place in large-scale regional online championships: the Blitz ASIA Cup, Blitz CIS Cup, Blitz Europe Cup, and Blitz North America Cup.

About the M4A3E2
The M4A3E2 is an American Tier VI Collector medium tank. Although this vehicle accelerates and turns slower than its peers, it enjoys stronger frontal turret and hull armor. It's great for one-on-one duels against light and medium tanks as the protected front confidently deflects hits while its reliable gun with nice depression and elevation angles effectively returns fire. Good luck on the battlefield!
It can smell diesel from a hundred kilometers. Fear leaking from damaged armor can attract a whole swarm. Already shivering with terror? It's understandable, especially when a predatory, torpedo-shaped nose is racing towards you. Fight back if you want the Shark to have more fun. But its scales may prove impossible to crack. And its teeth will shred your armor. You're simply a link in a food chain topped by the T54E2 Shark. Either accept it and embrace your fate or become a shark and decide who'll experience your razor-sharp bite!
The thick sloped front survives the strongest hits, good dynamics help it quickly take favorable positions and lead heavy tanks on the attack, and the quick-firing gun punches holes through the enemy's armor. The new T54E2, clad in the Shark Legendary camouflage, is a beast that ruthlessly and effectively hunts enemy tanks.
Containers that may include the T54E2, the Shark camouflage, or other rewards will be available in the in-game Store until August 7.
