World of Tanks celebrates one year on Steam (and cross-play action) and the gifts for this anniversary are for the player. Wargaming also announced an upcoming charity livestream.
From today until May 23, players on Steam can participate in the special anniversary giveaway, with special in-game activities to mark the first anniversary, and get a free DLC “Lightweight Fighter Pack” with the tank British Cromwell B Tier VI. Available now, the DLC pack has been discounted to become free until May 23 at 1 p.m. EST or 7 p.m. EST. There is also a free birthday gift package in the “best” section via the in-game store.
As for the Anniversary Missions, they are also available until the end of the event. There are five missions you can play and complete in exchange for in-game resources and a special event currency called Anniversary Tokens. Use these tokens for additional rewards in the Anniversary Shop. These are garage slots, credits and consumables. You will only be able to claim some rewards once, but you can continue to collect more.
There will also be a brand new charity livestream next week. Starting Friday, May 20 at 12 p.m. (Central Time), a 32-hour streaming charity campaign will be running to raise funds for the United Service Organizations, also known as the USO. The USO is a private organization that supports members of the United States military and their families by providing services such as free phone calls and Internet access in and out of combat zones, care, baby showers and supplies for expectant parents, packages of toiletries and personal care items, and perhaps what she is most famous for, entertainment shows for service members and their families.
The charity stream will begin on May 20 at 12 p.m. Central Time and will continue until May 21 at 4 p.m. Central Time. Head over to World of Tanks for the full list of streamers and details on the charity campaign, which will also include a silent auction and special items to purchase in addition to collecting donations.
