Ranked Battles 2020–2021 Season

Source: EU Portal

Ranked Battles, a highly competitive mode in which the strongest players fight on a level playing field, is making its return to World of Tanks with three new Seasons. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve reworked the progression system and introduced several other changes that we’ll now discuss in greater detail.

This time, the ultimate reward for all three Seasons is the brand-new Concept 1B Tier IX American heavy tank, which is exclusive to Ranked Battles. Prove your worth over three Seasons to add this formidable brawler to your Garage!

Season Dates
July 13, 2020, 08:00 UTC through August 3, 2020, 08:00 UTC

Prime-Times
Weekdays: 13:00 UTC – 01:00 UTC (201 server)
Weekends: 09:00 UTC – 01:00 UTC (201 server)

Revamped Progression System

For the first Season of Ranked Battles 2020-2021, the progression system will be simpler and more achievable. The number of ranks in all Divisions will be reduced from 15 to 10. The number of chevrons you need to earn to move from one rank to another will also be reduced. This will make progressing in the mode simpler, quicker, and more achievable.

The following Ranks are permanent:

  • Fourth and seventh ranks in the Third Division
  • Fifth rank in the Second and First Divisions

The eighth rank in the First and Second Divisions will receive Rank Shield status.

These changes will help you reach Leagues faster so you can showcase your mastery.

Bonus Battles and Daily Bonus Battles

To boost your progress in the mode and shorten your journey through the ranks, take advantage of Bonus Battles that double the number of chevrons you earn in battle. This Season, we’re also introducing Daily Bonus Battles, which will be available only when you reach Leagues.

Daily Bonus Battles are just like regular Bonus Battles, but they are automatically applied once a day for each Tier X vehicle. If you don’t receive a chevron after a battle, then the Daily Bonus Battle won’t be spent.

Daily Bonus Battles are spent before regular Bonus Battles and they don’t carry over to the next day. For maximum battle efficiency, be sure to use them before they disappear!

There are two ways to get Daily Bonus Battles:

  • They are credited daily when you qualify for a League. The number credited depends on your Qualification results.
  • Complete the special daily missions listed below.

Daily Battle Missions in Leagues

This Season, daily battle missions for different vehicle roles will become available as soon as you qualify for a League. In total, there are three missions, and their conditions will reset daily. Feel free to complete them at your convenience. These special missions will reward you with bonds and Daily Bonus Battles.

Go for Glory!

During the second Season of Ranked Battles 2020–2021, we’ll introduce a special dynamic leaderboard featuring the names of the top players.

Only the top 200 players will be ranked on the leaderboard, so do your best to show the world your mastery!

You can quickly access the leaderboard via a special 3D object in the Garage. During the active phase of the Season, its appearance will change, and the object will serve as a quick access point to the mode.

As we announced previously, only players in researchable and Collectors’ vehicles will be able to participate in Ranked Battles 2020–2021. We’re taking this step to create equal conditions for all players in order to maintain the fair and competitive spirit of this mode.

  1. They literally couldn’t have put worse & more useless tanks in bonds shop. What the actual fuck ? The only Decent one would be Chrysler and thats it…Also, what’s with 3 freaking russian, 2 American ones? No German tanks? No British ones ? I bet they looked at the statistics, picked 10 of the least popular tanks and randomly chose and put 5 of them in the bonds shop…Jesus…

  2. the Kv4 is just better. i checked the stats on tanksgg. And nobody will say Kv4 is still good in 2020. (and yes i know kv4 will get buffed)

  3. Wow great…. now everyone is getting flooded with bonds right when the cw auction stats -.-
