The Rating System and Matchmaking
Onslaught is a new competitive game mode in World of Tanks. Unlike Random Battles, where the team composition depends on the vehicle selection, Onslaught battles are fought in Tier X vehicles with similarly rated commanders.
Platoons and Communication
There are three different ways to enter a match in Onslaught.
- A commander can play alone as a solo player
- Players can team up with each other to form two-player squads
- Groups of players can band together in a Super Platoon
Super Platoons consist of 7 commanders and can enter an Onslaught battle as a complete team.
The difference in Rating Points for a two-player Platoon cannot exceed 350 points.
In a seven-player Super Platoon, the difference between the highest- and lowest-rated players cannot exceed 500 points.
Players can choose the same vehicles as their teammates, and there are no restrictions regarding vehicle classes.
In-Game Voice Chat
In Onslaught, players will be able to communicate with teammates and coordinate tactics via voice chat.
This feature is disabled by default, but players can enter the voice chat using the “H” key (default) or directly through the mode interface by clicking “Activate Voice Chat.” Players with voice chat enabled are marked with a special speaker icon.
Upon entering the pre-battle lobby, voice chat channels between two-player squads and Super Platoons will automatically connect to the team voice chat channel. If a player has not disabled voice chat while in a Platoon, they will be automatically entered into the team chat at the start of the battle.
Onslaught Ranks
The game mode has a total of seven Ranks:
|
 |
The five main Ranks (Debutant to Gold) each consist of four Divisions (A, B, C, and D). All players start in Division D of the Debutant Rank. As you collect points, you will gradually progress to Division A of the Gold Rank. 50 Rating Points are required to advance from one Division to the next, totaling 1,000 Rating Points. Points are earned for victories and lost for defeats, draws, and desertions.
Prestige Ranks
The Champion and Legend Ranks are not divided into Divisions A–D, and there is no fixed number of Rating Points needed to progress from one Rank to another. Instead, the top 10% of players that reach the Champion Rank will automatically advance to the Legend Rank.
The number of players who reach the Legend Rank fluctuates depending on the number of players in the Champion Rank. Rankings for the Champion and Legend Ranks are updated every 15 minutes.

Game Mode Inactivity
Players in the Silver Rank or higher will lose Rating Points for prolonged inactivity. When a player is placed in one of these four Ranks, each battle will reward them with a certain number of Activity Charges. These charges are rewarded for any outcome in battle, but will not be given to players who are inactive or leave a battle early.
Up to 14 charges can be held in a player’s Activity Bar, and they deplete at a rate of –1 charge per day. If a player doesn’t hold any charges at the end of an event day (01:00 CEST (UTC+2)), some of their Rating Points will be deducted, depending on their current Rank.

5 chargesProgression Rewards
Onslaught Season of the Griffin will take place from October 12 at 10:00 CEST (UTC+2) through November 20 at 23:00 CET (UTC+1)
Progressive Onslaught 2D Style
The first line of rewards revolves around a brand-new progressive 2D style, featuring accompanying emblems, inscriptions, and Dog Tag customizations. The prizes are awarded based on a player’s progress through the different Ranks and certain achievements in battle.
The most significant reward is the new “Wing and Claw” style, the first progressive 2D style to evolve with every new Rank reached. It can only be applied to Tier X vehicles and consists of a camouflage pattern, inscriptions, and emblems.
Players will receive the style after playing their first battle in the new mode, and can earn four additional copies for reaching the Bronze, Gold, Champion, and Legend Ranks.
Rental Vehicles
After playing your first battle in Onslaught, you will be awarded three rental vehicles for the mode:
All rental vehicles are replicas of existing tanks with the same characteristics and properties. They will remain on your account until the end of the Season, on November 20 at 23:00 CET (UTC+2), and will be removed when it’s over.
Dog Tag Elements
Players will unlock a unique Dog Tag Background upon reaching each new Rank from Iron and above. At the Iron Rank, you will also recieve an Engraving for Prestige Points earned and at the Silver Rank, you will get an additional Engraving for victories in the Season of the Griffin.

The second reward line includes bonds, credits, pieces of equipment, Personal Reserves, consumables, and more. Players will progress through 8 stages based on their number of victories in Onslaught mode. Each stage can be unlocked after 20 victories, totaling 160 to complete the progression.
