James had forgotten to take off his costume after the role-playing festival, scaring his friends witless. Turns out, the cave he found is not just the Yeti's lair, but a half-ruined mine! Here and there, the edges of containers can be seen under the rubble. There must be something valuable inside them!



You'll have to work hard to dig it all up. How fortunate that Hugh always has an extendable Pickaxe with him, and the Ranger's trunk is filled with a year's supply of Candy Bars. Go for it!


With the help of Pickaxes and Candy Bars! You'll receive Pickaxes for your first 100 victories in Tier IV–X vehicles, while mastery badges earned in Tier IV–X tanks will bring you Candy Bars. You'll be able to get even more Candy Bars in exchange for XP and Credit boosters, as well as certificates for Premium Account, on the event screen.

Treasure awaits!


Get ready! For the start, check out the list: Premium Account, Cooldown boosters, a tank, stunning camos, and a Yeti Container.

GET THE TREASURE!

A new month brings new challenges to Rating Battles, along with important changes to rating calculations. From July 5 to July 31, join the fight to get a camouflage, gold, an avatar, parts of the certificate for the Lorraine Fearless, and a hot spot amongst the top ten players!




In February, we added the possibility of earning rating points even if you were defeated. We closely monitored the results of battles after this innovation took place to make sure everything worked correctly.

Having processed these results, we found that quite often members of the losing team would receive more rating points than the winners. To avoid this in the future, we decided to reduce the number of rating points that players in the losing team could earn by 30%.

• CIS: July 5 to August 1, 1:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: July 5 to August 1, 1:59 (CEST)
  
• North America: July 5 to July 31, 16:59 (PT) / 19:59 (ET)
  
• APAC: July 5 to August 1, 7:59 (UTC+8)

DETAILS

What do you need for a successful expedition? A trusted team to go through hell, high-water and the wilderness of the national park! Meet yours: Hugh, the sturdy pathfinder, Billy, the tech geek, Ashley, the walking encyclopedia. And James, the reporter. Hey, where's he gone?



Another must-have is a reliable vehicle and a ready supply of resources. We've got this covered too: Passes are ready. All you have to do now is collect some useful items on the way and find the Yeti! Let's go!

• CIS: July 1, 8:00 (MSK) to July 29, 8:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: July 1, 13:00 (CEST) to July 29, 14:00 (CEST)
  
• North America: July 1, 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET) to July 29, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET)
  
• APAC: July 1, 14:00 (UTC+8) to July 29, 14:00 (UTC+8)

By completing Operation missions and increasing your Pass Level, you'll forge ahead and get rewards. A Premium Pass will bring you even more rewards for the same levels. And the License will allow you to simultaneously complete missions for several unlocked weeks at once and change the conditions of one mission every week.

James knew this day would be a turning point in his career. He'd been taking photos since he was a kid, but today would be different, as now he was a real reporter! He'd taken his best shots for the Blitztown Star. They'd be a huge success for the newspaper, and he'd enjoy fame and fortune. And then, who knows, maybe he'd move to the big city and work for the New Bay Daily? Oh, that would be awesome! Hopefully, he wouldn't run out of film.



Happy citizens, bright flags fluttering in the breeze, the vehicle parade—nothing got past James' camera unnoticed. Then suddenly—familiar faces! His best friends, Ashley, Billy, and Hugh, invited him to go for a hike. They had important work to do: testing the new tank, the Ranger, in the wilderness! And maybe they'd even find the Yeti! It was an adventure not to be missed! James and his friends agreed to meet later at the entrance to the National Park as he needed to get back to photographing the festivities. Well, the best shots were still to come!
From June 30 to July 7, win in Tier IV–X vehicles. For each of your first 5 victories of the day, you'll get 3 Rollfilms. For a victorious battle to be counted, you need to score a certain amount of XP without Premium Account, boosters, or other modifiers:

• 250 in Tier IV–V vehicles
  
• 350 in Tier VI vehicles
  
• in Tier VII vehicles
  
• in Tier VIII vehicles
  
• in Tier IX vehicles
  
• in Tier X vehicles

Attempts to score a victory accumulate for days missed. So, if time allows, you can complete the event in one day.

Complete event stages using Rollfilms and get rewards: Premium Account, collectible items, Combat XP and Gold boosters, x3 XP certificates, and the American Eagle attachment!
At Stages 3 and 8, you'll receive collectible items. The first item is a camera. According to the inscription, it belongs to James. The second item is a photograph of the most interesting tank for miles around, the T77, for the front page of the Blitztown Star. You can keep each collectible item as a souvenir or exchange it for 2,000 Free XP.
At Stage 9, you'll get the beautiful American Eagle attachment which can be installed on most American tanks. Feel its power, strength, and limitless freedom!

• CIS: June 30, 8:00 (MSK) to July 7, 8:00 (MSK)
  
• Europe: June 30, 14:00 (CEST) to July 7, 14:00 (CEST)
  
• North America: June 29, 23:00 (PT) / June 30, 02:00 (ET) to July 6, 23:00 (PT) / July 7, 02:00 (ET)
  
• APAC: June 30, 14:00 (UTC+8) to July 7, 14:00 (UTC+8)

After July 7, Rollfilms will no longer be added. From then on, you will have 1 more day to complete the remaining stages using gold at the rate of 65 = 1 Rollfilm. After July 8, Rollfilms will be removed without compensation.

DETAILS

Play in the three most dynamic World of Tanks Blitz modes one after another without long breaks or lingering expectations! Wield mystical powers in Uprising, test secret tech in Big Boss, and break free of the Earth's gravity in Gravity Force!



Only Tier V–X vehicles are allowed in this modes.

The Japanese Tech Tree has grown a new branch of six researchable heavy tanks. All of them boast strong armor and good mobility. Starting from Tier VII, tanks of the new branch feature unique equipment that improves either ground crossing capacity or vertical gun turn limits.



The Garage and Castilla map have received new graphics that will delight you with realistic materials and lighting. Trees sway from blast waves caused by shots and explosions, branches move apart as tanks drive through bushes… In three words, it's sheer beauty! The new dynamic resolution option will help you appreciate it to the fullest. Make sure to check out the system requirements and enjoy improvements without any drops in performance!



We've been planning to rework the military honor functionality for a long time and finally decided to split it into Reactions and Reports. Reactions allow one to express their emotions after battle. They're like emojis or stickers in a messaging app. Reports are a whole different story. They're intended for reporting violations, such as unsporting conduct, provocative communication, or inactivity in battle. The new system will identify and impose just punishment on regular offenders based on your reports, so don't let them get away with misbehavior.


In the player profile, military honor will be replaced with information about maximum damage, such as the amount of damage, in which vehicle, and on which map the damage was dealt, as well as the date and time.

These stats don't include battles fought prior to Update 9.0 or battles in fun modes.

Following many open tests, research studies, and player surveys, we've reworked the aiming system. The reticle's appearance will remain the same while its behavior will significantly change. The reticle indicator will react better to the player's actions, move smoother relative to the terrain, and follow the target more accurately.

During this Update, all attachments will be available in the Camouflage menu at a 50% discount!

The Moose Legendary camo for the Lansen C will also be added to the camo selection menu. A beast known for its fearlessness and unpredictability will appear on the turret, cold winter colors will cover the hull, and the tank's battle name will change to Lansen Moose.
