Holiday is approaching.
The holidays are the time for miracles
and the time when every house is filled with a magical atmosphere.
But it's also the time of Holiday Ops in World of Tanks.
Your first gifts will be waiting for you in your Garage.
A Tier II French light tank and some other nice little bonuses.
But this is just the opening chapter of your winter tank fairytale.
The festive Garage is just waiting to be decorated.
Show off your talents and create a magic atmosphere.
This year, in addition to the familiar decorations,
there are special ones called Large decorations.
There are four of them, they are unique,
and each one makes your Garage even more cozy.
Complete the New Year Bustle missions and receive Small Boxes.
You will find decorations and other pleasant rewards inside.
Put the decorations up and bring the festive spirit to your Garage.
There is so much to decorate around there!
Each decoration is a part of one of four collections.
New Year, Lunar,
Magic, and Christmas.
And don't forget the separate collection of Large decorations!
Convert your unwanted decorations to Shards.
Don't forget that placed decorations can't be broken.
Use these Shards to create new decorations in the special Decorider.
This year it can perform some real magic.
With the Antiduplicator you will receive a guaranteed standard decoration
that you don't already have.
You will have to use a special charge to use it.
One is given to you right away, and you will be able to receive more later.
But remember: they are not infinite,
use them to get those decorations that you really need.
Additionally,
you can create Large Decorations with the Large Holidron Decorider.
Unlike the standard ones, these are not duplicated.
However, the price to create them increases for each consecutive one.
Decorate your Garage and increase your Festive Atmosphere.
Each level will reward you with nice gifts.
Personal Reserves, national and universal Blueprint fragments,
Crew Books, medals, a badge, Antiduplicator charges,
Small Boxes, and a festive 2D style.
At certain levels of the Festive Atmosphere,
you can choose one of the four festive Snow Maidens.
Along with the Maiden,
you will receive a Female Crew Member in a unique festive outfit.
Recruit them in the Barracks for vehicles of any nation with any specialization.
They will have Brothers in Arms as a Zero Perk,
and enough experience to train another skill or perk.
By level 10 of Festive Atmosphere,
you can have all four festive Snow Maidens in your Garage.
Each one is related to their own collection and will help you complete it.
You will get a random decoration from this collection once per day.
You can only take it from one of the Maidens.
Along with the decoration, you will get as many missions for x5 experience,
as you have Snow Maidens in the Garage.
Starting from Level 5 of Festive Atmosphere,
you will begin unlocking Holiday Ops vehicle slots.
You can put applicable vehicles there, except for Premium ones.
The slot tier matches the vehicle tier.
These vehicles will get a Holiday Ops bonus in battle depending on their type.
Heavy and medium tanks get 50% more combat experience.
Light tanks get 200% more Free experience for each battle.
Artillery and tank destroyers get a 100% bonus to Crew experience.
The Holiday Ops bonus is always maxed
and doesn't depend on the Festive Atmosphere level
or having a certain collection completion percentage.
You can change the vehicle in any slot for free after some time.
But while the tank is in the slot, you can apply a unique 2D style to it.
Holiday Ops vehicles are only a part of the great bonuses.
By filling your collection album and increasing the Festive Atmosphere level,
you can get more credits on any vehicle in the game.
Reach Level 10 and collect at least 72 decorations in each collection
to get a 40% bonus.
This year, all collections contribute to the credit bonus,
so each decoration will increase your credit yield!
And you can get 10% more
after you set up all the Large Decorations in your Garage.
They don't affect the Festive Atmosphere level
but they give you a permanent bonus right after you set them up.
After you complete a collection,
you will be rewarded with six decals and a unique 2D style.
Each of the four collections has its own rewards.
Styles can be applied to any vehicle, except those with unique exterior.
After you reach level 10 of Festive Atmosphere,
you can complete your collections from previous years.
Use shards to get the decorations you need separately
or the entire collection at once, and receive your long-awaited reward.
Like all good things, the holidays will come to an end sooner or later.
But not in World of Tanks.
You’ll still be able to use your Holiday Ops vehicles until the end of January.
You will have as many slots as you managed to unlock.
The vehicle change freeze period will increase
but you will be able to change vehicles for credits whenever you like.
The vehicles that stay in the slots
will continue to get the Holiday Ops bonus and the credits bonus.
The size of the latter
will equal to the highest level you achieved during Holiday Ops,
even if you broke all decorations and decreased the Festive Atmosphere level.
But this comes later.
For now, prepare to decorate your Garage,
receive gifts and celebrate the holidays.
Create your own festive atmosphere in World of Tanks!
