Annual Rewards
The XStinger is a Tier X heavy tank that is a stunning replica of the T57 Heavy Tank. This unique vehicle features a striking progressive 3D style and comes with a special crew that adds to its exclusivity. The Stinger’s style will have different progressive looks depending on your results at the end of the Year of the Manticore.
Collect nine or more Onslaught Colors (the mode’s special currency) across the seasons to earn this exceptional tank, along with other valuable rewards.
Seasonal Customization Rewards
In addition to the Annual Reward, you will also be able to earn various seasonal customization rewards, including the fresh “Hybrid Beast (Crimson)” progressive 2D style.
Weekly Missions Update
Prove your Onslaught skills in 30 revamped Weekly Missions, offering enhanced rewards and new challenges. A new set of five missions is unlocked every week, and you have until the end of the season to complete them all. The missions within a set and the sets themselves must be completed in sequence, but they no longer expire, so you can complete them at your own pace, tracking your progress with a new widget in your Garage.
You’ll earn valuable rewards like days of WoT Premium Account, bonds, and credits for each mission, with larger prizes awarded after completing five, 15, 25, and 30 missions, including a Token to choose any improved equipment. Make your choice by the start of the next season, or leave it for auto-redeem to receive Increased Shell Resistance.

Minor Adjustments to the Prestige Points System
We are continuing to monitor the Prestige Points system and are happy with its overall performance and its assessment of a player’s contribution to victory or defeat. However, based on your feedback and our evaluations, we need to make some minor adjustments to the conditions for accumulating Prestige Points.
The Season of the Crimson Manticore is the second one in an exciting Onslaught year. Show your mastery in your favorite Tier X vehicles and earn great rewards.
