[Echo]

Commanders!

Holiday Ops 2026 will end on January 12, 2026, at 07:00 (CET/UTC+1) | January 11, 2026, at 22 (PT), January 12, 2026, at 00:00 (CT)/ 01:00 (PT) | January 12, 2026, at 14:00 (UTC+8), so make sure you've received everything you can before we bid adieu to host Benedict!

Here's what's left to do:

Claim the Big Rewards!

While the Well-Deserved Reward will be available until the end of 2026, you can claim a free Tech Tree branch of your choice only until mid-January, when Update 2.1.1 hits. The same applies to the Best of 2.0 Gift for anyone who didn't claim the original gift this past autumn. Don't miss out!

Get Large Boxes While You Can

Along with guaranteed gold, you may find additional presents inside Large Boxes: more gold, credits, 3D styles and attachments, plus other goodies, including six new high-tier vehicles. Among the latter, two are Tier X special vehicles (for the first time in Holiday Ops history).

BZT-70, Tier X special Chinese heavy tank

Coccodrillo, Tier X special Italian medium tank

Projet Louis, Tier IX Premium French light tank

TBT, Tier IX Premium Czechoslovakian heavy tank

Jagdpanzer 90, Tier IX Premium German tank destroyer

Stridsyxa, Tier VIII Premium Swedish medium tank

Every 50th Large Box opening is a guaranteed Tier VIII–X vehicle drop (provided it doesn't happen before that, in which case the counter is reset).
