In our previous blogpost we asked all of you to share questions you wanted answered on the upcoming Battle Pass. We have collected the most frequently asked questions and will answer them one by one!
1. How much will the Battle Pass cost? Battle Pass Season 0 will be yours for the price of 1950 gold!
2. Is there going to be a free version of the Battle Pass? You will have to purchase the Battle Pass in order to unlock and receive rewards.
3. Will you be able to progress your Battle Pass in war battles or staged battles? You can progress on the Battle Pass playing both war and staged.
4. Do you have an idea or goal of how many hours of playtime the pass will take to complete? This will largely depend on your skill level, we have made sure that it is possible to reach the final level of each season by just playing the game.
5. Will you be able to purchase / skip levels if you are unable to play the game enough? Yes, you will be able to purchase / skip each of the first 11 tiers for 950 gold. The last tier ( number 12), cannot be skipped and has to be progressed to unlock its rewards.
6. Will there be a daily limit on how many points or items you can get? There will not be a limit to how much experience you can earn on a single day. You can progress as fast as you want!
7. Which rewards will be in the Battle Pass exactly? We received several questions about certain rewards for the Battle Pass, which we will not answer just yet. But when the Battle Pass releases you will be able to find out what is in it! We can reveal one thing, most items will be winter themed!
8. Will we be able to submit requests for certain skins for the next Battle Pass Season? Yes! Our goal with the Battle Pass is to provide content that you want. Feel free to suggest and discuss content and ideas in our relevant Discord Channels! We are considering creating a specific channel for everyone to suggest ideas. Get your ideas ready and stay tuned, more information will follow!
9. What will happen with the current daily reward system? The current daily reward will stay active and you will be able to keep earning your rewards!
10. Will there be player made skins for the Battle Pass? Currently we have no plans to add player made skins for the Battle Pass. However, we are always open to discuss and find ways to give our community more input on what will be in the Battle Pass so please keep suggesting ideas!
11. Will we be able to redeem multiple instances of one item, cosmetic, uniform, gun, etc? It is item dependent, when you unlock skins you will always receive one skin per faction. However for certain items that are not faction specific, or so commonly used that one would not be enough, we will hand out multiples.
12. In your previous blogposts you mentioned this was Season 0. Why is this not Season 1? This is our very first version of the Battle Pass so we wanted to set expectations. This means we are still experimenting with how to provide the best Battle Pass for everyone playing Heroes & Generals WWII. Based on the reception of this Battle Pass, and your feedback, we may optimize things a little in future seasons.
13. What are you planning for future Battle Passes? Based on our analysis of season 0, we might make some adjustments to rewards, progression, pricing and other aspects of the Battle Pass. We do expect that every season will keep coming with a certain theme. The theme of season 0 is winter and for season one we will have a brand new theme!
14.When will the Battle Pass be released? The Battle Pass will be released very, VERY soon!
This is the last blogpost before the Battle Pass Season 0 releases. Thank you everybody for joining in on the conversation, we can't wait to see what you think!
Here is an indication of what rewards you can expect! At the last level of every tier, you will receive an exclusive item you otherwise wouldn’t be able to get your hands on without the Battle Pass! That means twelve completely unique rewards, not to mention some reward tiers give 1 unique reward per faction!
We aim for unique and exclusive vanity additions to the game bundled together with some fresh ideas to keep your gameplay more fun and dynamic. Our aim for the Battle Pass items is to reward players who want to stand out from the crowd with skins that are unique in their looks and feel, but also let you tell your story of dedication and skills to all your teammates - each unique rewards are designed to be inherently rare because when the Season ends, you won’t be able to get the items anymore!
Oh and did we mention the reward from the maximum level of the highest tier yet? Maybe we should let the recon soldier below explain!
Even more items will be available for you to unlock. To find out what those are, you will have to wait for the release!
Next Battle Pass blog post we will be answering some of your questions and give you a sneak peak of the Battle Pass! Make sure to ask and upvote the questions you want answered on our Discord server. Make sure to use the channel called #BattlePass-QnA!

If you happen to be late for the Battle Pass release, don’t have the time to play very often or if you want to unlock all the rewards on day 1, just like for our ribbons, we offer players the ability to buy tiers and get all 10 of their associated rewards instantly. Please note, the last Tier cannot be purchased and has to be progressed to unlock all of its 10 rewards.
Be sure to keep an eye out for our next blogpost! Where we will share some more information on the rewards you can unlock. In the meantime stay up to date on our Discord!

Update 1.24.1 is introducing a new reworked depot, changes to the matchmaker and a new booster type to increase your experience gained by your soldiers!
The New Depot
We have reworked the depot to be more reliable and universally usable as item storage.
The new depot will be integrated into the soldier screen to be easier to spot for newer players. In addition, it will be quicker to navigate and have better filters so you can spend less time looking for your items and more time kicking ass.
You will be able to transfer any item owned by your soldiers into the depot for 50% of the item price. Redistributing an item to another soldier via the depot has no cost. Please note: Soldiers who own items incompatible with their class can transfer those items to the depot at no cost. (This is only relevant to soldiers created before 2016)
Weapons and vehicles now indicate which upgrades are attached and upgrades in the depot can now be redistributed individually. Additionally, you are now able to see the ownership requirements for any item so you know exactly which ribbon(s) your soldier needs to unlock or which weapons or vehicles he needs to own to be able to use the item.
The new depot is not only designed to be easier for you to use, but is also a new and better way for us to do giveaways, cool event rewards and introduce exciting new items. We aim to make the depot the central place to browse your undistributed items. In an upcoming update we will also make your ribbon boosters available in the depot, thereby giving you a better overview when boosting your soldiers. Matchmaker Changes
Infantry, the working horse class!
Heroes & Generals is a combined arms game which means Tanks, Planes and Infantry must work together to obtain victory on the battlefield!
However, a good balance is important – Infantry are the key to victory. If your team lacks the manpower to push the enemy’s position, the battle may be doomed.
This is why we are adjusting the maximum number of specialist classes that initially join a battle.
The matchmaker previously allowed up to six specialists (recons, pilots & tank crews) in a battle and a maximum of four from each class.
We are reducing the total number of specialist classes which can join a battle to five. Each specialist class will have a reduced limit on how many can enter a battle initially. There will be no more than two pilots, three tankers and four recon when the battle starts.
You are still able, and encouraged, to change classes during the tide of battle. A General’s influence might require you to pick the right soldier for the right job, so stay on your toes!
Soldier Experience Booster
Boost your soldier’s experience with this new booster! Get the salary you deserve or take the highway to become a General faster!
Soldier experience will yield 100% more for 4 hours. Veteran members will receive the boost on top of the boost from their membership.
