WoT: Onslaught Light Returns – Play in Tier VIII’s!

The Onslaught Light mode returns! From September 3 through September 18, engage in intense 7v7 battles in your Tier VIII vehicles (including Premium ones). Use all Onslaught abilities and don’t worry about ranks, as there are none. At the same time, Onslaught Light has a Progression with enjoyable rewards.

Onslaught Light: Differences from Regular Onslaught

• Tier VIII only (SPGs and a few vehicles of other types are excluded from the mode).
• No ranks or qualification: With lower stakes, play for fun (and gains)!
• Standalone event: not part of the Onslaught Year/Season cycles.
• Credit and XP gain: as in Tier VIII Random Battles.
• Premium vehicles allowed: All respective bonuses apply.
• Event Progression: Earn Progression Points (with no loss of progress ever), and receive extra rewards!

Onslaught Light: Similarities to Regular Onslaught

• 7v7 battles: You can really show off your skills!
• All Onslaught modifiers apply:
  • ▲ Vehicle hit points
  • ▼ Consumables’ cooldown time
  • ▼ Dispersion at 100 m
  • ▼ Time remaining visible
  • ▼ Proximity spotting radius
• Platoons and Super Platoons: Play with a friend or in a pre-made team of seven commanders.
• Fog of War: no info on the enemy team until their vehicles are spotted.
• Pre-battle preparation: Select your vehicle and its configuration during the countdown.
• Points of Interest: Capture these to use Tactical Skills (Divisional Radar, Artillery Strike).
• Role Skills: These depend on your vehicle type and role. Accumulate Prestige Points in battle to build up their charge level.

New Maps

The September 2025 Onslaught Light launch will feature two extra maps.

• A version of Ruinberg adapted for Onslaught will debut in the mode.
• Airfield will return, based on the recently reworked Random Battles map.

Excluded Vehicles

As per the general Onslaught rules, SPGs are excluded from the mode. Plus, some tanks may overperform in Tier VIII-only battles with Onslaught modifiers conditions, and some vehicles are not suitable for the format due to their combat roles.

Event Progression

Onslaught Light has a 15-stage event Progression with sweet rewards, including Experimental Equipment and components, bonds, credits, Personal Reserves, and more.

The rewards also feature the brand-new “See the Light” 2D style and two new decals: “Based” and “Impossible Decision”.

Earning Progression Points is simple: everyone gets some (except the last two players by Prestige Points on the losing team). Also, you never lose Points.

You can score even more Progression Points by completing daily missions in the mode.

Prepare for relaxed and lucrative 7v7 battles in your favorite Tier VIII’s, Commanders!
