Here’s where you can read all about the Earn Challenge that will last the entire duration of the event, as well as the first round of our new special event mode. Click below or read on to learn more:
Earn Challenge: Banners of Valor
For those who remember the Dream Machines Challenge, the Banners of Valor Challenge will look familiar!
The basic idea: Complete goals to earn points. Then, at any point while the Challenge is live, redeem your points for the reward or rewards of your choice.
That’s right; you get to choose the rewards you get. You can even choose the same reward more than once!
Here’s where it differs: for the Banners of Valor Challenge, we’ve included a way for you to get patriotic rewards each day before you even begin working on your goals!
Let’s go step by step. To start, head to the Challenges tab in game.
Each day starting at 9:00 UTC, you’ll be asked to choose a new nation (World War II) or affiliation (Cold War) that you want to pledge your allegiance to for that day. You can choose the same nation/affiliation day after day, or choose different ones on different days. It’s up to you!
- IMPORTANT: To earn points for the Banners of Valor “Nation Daily” points goal, you must choose a nation/affiliation at the start of the day!
- Also, you cannot switch your choice until the following day.
Once you’ve made your choice, you’ll receive that nation’s Join the Fight! Emblem and complete, four-voucher Patriotic 24 Camo Set. (You are reading this correctly; that means that you can earn a LOT of Camo Sets just by starting this Challenge every day—even multiples from the same nation!) You can also earn Challenge Points by playing in a tank from that nation that day.
Here are all the nations and affiliations you can choose from:

Event Mode: Banner Bounty (World War II version)
Banner Bounty is our new special event mode. The first round of it will be available through July 7 and is available to Tier VIII tanks in World War II mode. (Don’t worry, Cold War players. Your time to shine will come starting July 15!)
You can join a Banner Bounty battle either from the game’s mode select screen or by clicking the “Play” button on the Banners of Valor storefront (the “Valor” tab in game).
In Banner Bounty, Banners aren’t just symbols of patriotic pride. They’re your tickets to victory – and it’s up to you and your teammates to snatch them from the opposing team.
- Destroy enemy tanks and collect the Banners they drop.
- Pick up your fallen teammates’ Banners to keep them out of enemy hands.
- The first team to collect 15 enemy Banners wins!
- Banners recovered from fallen teammates do not count toward your team's total.
Banners will appear as shiny pennants after a tank is destroyed. What else should you know?
