- Adds a collectable that breaks all connections to the player.
- Makes it easier to create arcs whererever you want them with the new through-three-points creation option.
- Allows you to exactly position most basic shapes by using the new coordinates option
- Adds a search function to the level browser
- Adds a Fresh category to the level browser, with the highest rated levels in the last week

- And more!

Battle Pass: Judgment Day is a one-time in-game event based on a collaboration between World of Tanks and the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This standalone special event has many of the signature Battle Pass mechanics but is not part of the 2023 Battle Pass sequence. Along with more traditional prizes, such as Bounty Aiming, the reward roster of Judgment Day includes a rich selection of unique Terminator 2-themed items: voiced vehicle commanders, 2D styles, decals, and a one-of-its-kind Premium tank as the ultimate Improved Reward.


Key Features of Battle Pass Special: Judgment Day

Event Period (EU): From January 12 at 5:50 CET through January 26 at 5:20 CET (UTC+1).
Event Period (NA): From January 12 at 01:50 PT | 03:50 CT | 04:50 ET through January 26 at 01:20 PT | 03:20 CT | 04:20 ET.
Event Period (ASIA): From January 12 through January 26.

Battle Modes: You can earn Points in Random Battles (except for Grand Battles), as well as by completing Daily Missions.

Vehicle Tiers: You can earn Battle Pass Points in Random Battles by fighting in Tier VI–X vehicles, including rental vehicles. However, you can complete Daily Missions in any vehicle tier.

Progression: Battle Pass: Judgment Day consists of 50 Stages. You do not need to activate the progression like you do with Chapters of regular Battle Pass, so everyone participates in the event automatically.

Improved Pass: You can purchase an Improved Pass for 3,500 gold and gain access to additional rewards that include the T-832 tank. Stages can only be purchased with an Improved Pass.

Main Rewards: Themed in-game content created in collaboration with Terminator 2, including the T-832, a Tier VIII Premium tank with unique looks and special effects making references to the movie, as well as voiced vehicle commanders from the Terminator 2 universe, 2D styles, decals, and inscriptions.

Grab the Free DLC!

Until January 26, 2023, all Steam players can get an exclusive, time-limited DLC completely for free! With the Judgement Day: Free Pack DLC, you get three unique “Mission: Termination” Decals to decorate your favorite vehicles, as well as a bunch of Personal Reserves to boost your progress in the game.

The Judgment Day-Themed Content Set

The collaboration between Terminator 2: Judgment Day and World of Tanks produced a series of themed in-game content that includes a unique vehicle—the T-832—and special commanders, 2D styles, decals, and inscriptions. This set of content will be available throughout the Battle Pass: Judgment Day event, with parts of it obtainable as Base and Improved Rewards or via in-game Store bundles (the latter will also be available after the end of the event until January 31). Collect all in-game Terminator 2-themed items!



Accessing the Battle Pass: Judgment Day Screen

You can access the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen by clicking on a very recognizable event icon at the top of your Garage.



Progression System

Battle Pass: Judgment Day consists of 50 Stages. You need to earn 50 Points in order to move from one Stage to the next.

You can also purchase Stages. This way, you do not need to earn Points. You can only purchase Stages with an Improved Pass.

Battle Pass Points

Battle Pass Points can be earned in the following ways:
  • In all types of Random Battles (except Grand Battles)
  • By completing Daily Missions
The Points you earn cannot be lost.

You can receive Points by playing in Tier VI–X vehicles in Random Battles.

The number of Points you receive after each battle will depend on your rank in the team results by XP earned. Even if your team loses or draws, you will still receive Battle Pass Points.



Points can be obtained by completing Daily Missions. Note that you can complete Daily Missions in any vehicle tier.

The more difficult the mission, the more Points you earn.



For every 45 Daily Missions completed, you will receive an additional 50 Battle Pass Points.
Point Limit

Each vehicle has a Point Limit that can be reached while playing in Random Battles. The higher the vehicle tier, the higher the Point Limit.

Once you reach the Point Limit on your selected vehicle, you will receive additional Points. How many additional Points you earn will depend on your vehicle's tier.



The Point Limit only applies to Points earned in Random Battles.

You can also earn Points in Tier VI–X rental vehicles. If you rent a vehicle and then decide to buy it permanently, the Points earned with the vehicle during the rental period will be saved.

Points received in Daily Missions do not affect the Point Limit, meaning you can earn Points in Daily Missions in a vehicle even after the Point Limit for that vehicle has been reached.

Improved Pass

Upon completing each Stage, you will receive valuable rewards. There are two types of rewards: Base Rewards and Improved Rewards. Only players with an Improved Pass can receive Improved Rewards.

You can purchase an Improved Pass on the Judgment Day screen (also accessible via the special banner in the in-game Store) at any time during the event.

Immediately after purchasing an Improved Pass, you will receive all of the Improved Rewards for the Stages that you have already completed.

Follow these steps to purchase an Improved Pass:
  • Click the Battle Pass: Judgment Day icon in the Garage.
  • On the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen, click Purchase Improved Pass.
  • Click Purchase to confirm the purchase. The cost of an Improved Pass—3,500 gold—will be charged to your account.


Purchasing Stages

After acquiring an Improved Pass, you will be able to purchase any number of Stages.
  • You will immediately receive all Base and Improved Rewards for the purchased Stages, and those Stages will be considered completed. One Stage costs 250 gold.
  • You can buy Stages on the Battle Pass: Judgment Day screen. You can purchase as many Stages as necessary until the event progression is complete.
Battle Pass: Judgment Day Rewards

You will receive valuable items for completing Stages. Below is the full list of Base and Improved Rewards for the Battle Pass: Judgment Day progression.



The T-832

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and skills, as well as special in-game items.

[/expand]
Some of the rewards must be singled out. The T-832 is a formidable war machine that stands out in the battlefield due to its combat efficiency as well as its unique visual effects inspired by the Terminator 2 movie.

The 2D Styles

The Mimetic Polyalloy 2D style was inspired by the ability of T-1000's liquid metal to keep memory of every hit it had ever taken.



[expand type=details]









[/expand]
The Skynet Bastion 2D style is a creation of an advanced AI and as such is purely functional (including the custom marks of excellence).



[expand type=details]









[/expand]
Battle Pass: Judgment Day Bundles

Throughout the event and for some time afterwards (from January 12 through January 31), special bundles with Judgment Day content and more will be available in the in-game Store for gold. Via these bundles, you can obtain special vehicle commanders Sarah Connor and T-1000, plus other valuable items.



Each bundle can be purchased up to three times per account.
The Step Into Eternity 2D style is dedicated to the hard decision made by the T-800 in the movie’s finale.



[expand type=details]









[/expand]
End of the Judgment Day Event

Here is what to expect at the end of Battle Pass: Judgment Day:
  • The event screen will no longer be accessible.
  • Once the active phase of the event ends at 5:20 CET on January 26, you will no longer be able to purchase the Improved Pass and Stages.
  • The Judgment Day bundles in the in-game Store will remain available until January 31.
  • The commanders will be available for recruiting for an unlimited period.

Mercyful Flames: The Witches - Mim
Hi there.



I want to tell you one more interesting fact. We tried to make sure that the game did not have a voice-over, well, because, you know, costs. Our grumbling was simple: it needs to be recorded in English, it needs to be recorded in Polish, and it may need to be recorded in other languages... And if later we make some changes in the script, well, then we have another problem. Voice over is out.

Unfortunately. It didn't fall out. The more work we put into bringing the world to life, the more we added sounds, animations, and other nitpicks, and the more the feeling that the experience was incomplete nagged at us. Intuition told us that a narrator to guide the player through this dark and depressing world was the missing piece. Well, we trusted our intuition. We gave it a try, and what was heard, will not be heard again. In the Polish version, we made a voiceover with our efforts and the result allows us to smile with self-satisfaction. For the English version, we will look for a suitable person.



What impact has the addition of a voiceover had on the work so far? Contrary to appearances, quite a lot. Well, the script of Mercyful Flames was written in the second person, a style known from paragraph games or RPG sessions. In the case of our game, we decided that a first-person narrative, which allows us to report on events in a somewhat storytelling style, would best suit the proposed dynamics. Besides, the inquisitor's story is very personal, and the presented course of events comes out most credibly when the author of the reflections is the main character.

Sooo... We have already added a voiceover to the first scenario and it works.

  • Fixed a texture flaw with the trees around Tarnmill.
  • Fixed an issue with the loading screen visibility.
