WoT: The Second Ranked Battles 2021–2022 Season Starts

Get ready to open a new chapter in your journey through one of the most competitive modes in World of Tanks, Commanders!

The second Season of Ranked Battles will kick off on January 10. As before, there will be 14 days of intense Tier X battles and a host of rewards for good performance in combat. Read up on all the latest changes for the upcoming Season!

Join the Race for the 114 SP2!

Let’s start off with the most tantalizing topic: the ultimate reward for all three Seasons of Ranked Battles 2021–2022!

This Season is your last chance to join the race for the 114 SP2, a new Tier X Chinese tank destroyer. It is equipped with a fully rotating turret mounted to the center of the hull, just like classic tanks. The 114 SP2 also features excellent dynamics and a sharp-shooting 152 mm gun with good depression/elevation angles (–7°/+20°). High accuracy and a short aiming time allow you to effectively hit opponents from a long distance. Watch this how-to-play video on how to make the most of the 114 SP2’s strengths.

If you didn’t participate in Season 1, now is the perfect time to join intense Tier X battles. Climb up the rank ladder and earn all five Rank Tokens available in Season 2 to receive a better Annual Reward (featuring this steel predator)!

Ranked Battles: What’s New?

Now back to Season changes. Firstly, we’ve redistributed the rewards (directives and credits) you will earn in the Qualification. Now you will progressively receive more prizes as you play more battles!

The Brand-New Garmr 3D Style for the Kampfpanzer 50 t

Last but not least, we’ve also updated the list of exclusive Ranked Battles items available for bonds and added the brand-new Garmr 3D style for the Kampfpanzer 50 t. You’ll be able to redeem this amazing custom look when you reach the Second Division. This style looks as if it is composed of many granite shards, from under which bright flames shine through. It turns the Kampfpanzer 50 t into an even more formidable vehicle, as if rolled out of the mouth of a fire-breathing volcano.

Together with other unique items, this incredible 3D style will be available for 5,000 bonds. Remember: You can get them with your personal cumulative discount, and its amount will depend on your progress during the Season.

Season 2: Brief Overview and Progression System

This Season, the core Ranked Battles mechanics remain unchanged, but let’s go over them again, just in case.

• Battles take place in the 10v10 format in Tier X vehicles.
• No more than one SPG and two light tanks per team will be allowed in battles.
• To move from one rank to another to qualify for Leagues, you need to earn 94 chevrons.

Since Battle Pass is not currently available, you won’t be able to earn Battle Pass Progression Points when fighting in Ranked Battles.

As soon as you qualify for a League, you’ll be able to complete special daily missions. There will be three missions in total, and each one can be completed in vehicles of four different roles. This means that missions for 12 different vehicle roles will be available. These missions will reward you with bonds and Daily Bonus Battles.

Tons of Rewards Await!

As always, you have a chance to get your hands on tons of valuable rewards for good performance in battle. Storm onto the battlefield and push for victory in your favorite Tier X vehicles to earn the following:

• Bonds
• Days of WoT Premium Account
• Spectacular 2D styles
• Gold
• Directives
• Additional rewards

Season rewards also include a 2D style for Tier X vehicles (one for each League) that is exclusive to Ranked Battles. To retain this honorable style, you will need to participate in future Seasons. Plus, you will receive an exclusive badge for each League that you can apply as a mark of glory and mastery.

Take One Step Closer to Your Annual Reward!

At the end of your challenging journey in Ranked Battles, you’ll be able to redeem your Annual Reward. It will depend on the number of Rank Tokens you earn over all three Seasons. The more Rank Tokens you collect, the better the Annual Reward you receive. This year, among other prizes, you’ll have the opportunity to grab up to three pieces of improved equipment of your choice from all equipment of this category, depending on your Annual Reward level.

Gear up for Season 2 and meet your worthy Tier X opponents, Commanders!
