Pirates are ever in search of bigger and better treasure. This year, they’ve found it inside our Commander War Chests and are claiming it as their own.
Get yer share of the loot before they take it all. Claim your Commander Pirate War Chests for 400 Gold each in the in-game Store!
Pirate War Chests are special versions of our Commander War Chests.
Each Pirate War Chest is guaranteed to grant you either a Commander (2D or 3D) OR a Premium tank, with days of Premium Account, Commander XP Boosters, and pirate-themed Cosmetics as possible additional drops.
The 2D Standard Commanders in these chests are a feisty lot of characters inspired by real-life pirates who once sailed the seas.
The Premium tank drops include the new French Tier VIII Black Diamond Medium Tank, a finely crafted landship if ever there was one.
The Cosmetics include new and returning Emblems and Inscriptions, as well as a brand-new Camo pattern: the Octo-Camo.
And the 3D Commander is none other than our Jolly Roger 3D Hero Commander (with custom voiceover), but with a twist: the Jolly Roger you get might start with six, seven, eight, or nine open Skill slots—only when you get him from a Pirate War Chest!

Plus, every Pirate War Chest includes a guaranteed drop mechanic for the Premium tanks, which is the Epic reward group for these chests.
If you open 49 Pirate Fest War Chests without dropping a Premium tank, then when you open the 50th Pirate War Chest, you will receive a random Epic tank that you don't already own.
Receiving any other drop from these chests will not reset the Epic guaranteed drop counter. This means you can keep receiving non-Epic drops until you reach your 50th Pirate Fest War Chest and still be guaranteed the Epic tank. The guaranteed drop counter resets after an item from the Epic reward group is dropped.
If you already possess all the tanks from the Epic reward group and your Pirate War Chest drops a tank from this group, you will receive the tank’s full value in Silver instead.
To clarify:
- The system described above applies to Epic drops regardless of how you received your item previously. If you own a tank listed as an Epic reward, even if you acquired it a different way (in a Store bundle, as a Challenge reward, etc.), then you will not receive that reward again until all other Epic rewards have been given first.
- For non-Epic rewards, you CAN receive an item from a Pirate War Chest that you have previously acquired a different way (in a Store bundle, as a Challenge reward, etc.).
- IMPORTANT NOTE! If you receive a Premium tank that you already own, then you will be compensated with the tank’s full value in Silver instead.
- Once you get a Premium tank as a drop, your 50-chest counter resets.
That’s not all. From September 16 through September 29, you can take on the X Marks the Spot Challenge to earn up to 20 of these chests. Full Challenge details will be available in the September 16 edition of WoT’s Happening This Week!
It won’t be long before Jolly Roger and his band of buccaneers set sail. So grab a Pirate War Chest for 400 Gold starting September 16!
Note: The content of the chests includes seasonal content that is subject to change. We advise you to open your chests at the time of purchase to receive content from the current drop table.
Every Pirate War Chest contains groups of items that are at least the same value as the cost of the chest itself. Pirate War Chests are non-refundable.
