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!

Pirate War Chests are available in the following bundles:

Here are all the possible drops together with their drop rates:

And here’s a closer look at some of the drops you can possibly receive from Pirate War Chests. Note: All 2D Commanders are Standard Commanders unless otherwise noted.

Here are some examples of what the contents of a Pirate War Chest might look like:

• Example #1: Calico Jack 2D Standard Commander + x2 Commander XP Boosters (2) + Pirate Flag (“Calico Jack” Rackham) Emblem (1) + Yo Ho Ho Inscription (1)
• Example #2: Sayyida al Hurra 2D Standard Commander + x4 Commander XP Boosters (2) + x2 Commander XP Boosters (5) + Pirate Flag (Edward Low) Emblem (1)
• Example #3: Jolly Roger 3D Hero Commander (with five extra Skill slots) + x6 Commander XP Boosters (2) + 3 Days of Premium Account
• Example #4: Black Diamond + Octo-Camo Camo set (includes four vouchers) + x8 Commander XP Boosters (2)
• Example #5: Type 63HG ‘90 + Water Dragon Skin + x8 Commander XP Boosters (2)

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.
