The Holiday Crate for Golden Eagles!

We’re pleased to present you with a Holiday Crate, available in the in-game Item Shop! This crate can only be purchased with Golden Eagles, and inside it is a large set of useful items: Premium Account, Silver Lions, universal backups and boosters, premium vehicles and also all vehicles that have ever been sold for Golden Eagles or Warbonds that aren’t currently obtainable in-game or on the Market (full list below).

The Holiday Crate can be purchased for 999 Golden Eagles in the in-game store from December 25th (11:00 GMT) until January 14th (11:00 GMT).

Picking up a Holiday Crate is a bargain! If you have opened enough crates, you’ll be guaranteed to receive talismans and premium vehicles. And that’s not all, as the average value of the crate contents are almost one and a half times the price of the crate itself!

Plus, after opening a specific number of crates, you’ll receive memorable additional rewards:

  • For 3 crates, a decal for the upcoming year
  • For 5 crates a festive tank decoration
  • For 7 crates a unique New Year’s profile background
  • For 10 crates a stunning decoration for your player profile icon, made in the style of a Christmas photo frame!

so one would have to, for a garuanteed premium vehicle and a random talisman for any rank, open 14 crates, which means you would have to spent 92,40€ to have those “garuanteed” prices…and the premium vehicle as well as the talisman are random from rank I-VIII?

what a bad joke…

Would be interested in buying these if there was a tank I wanted. But I already have all the tanks listed here.

They could easily add a ticket system to the game. For example, instead of a random rank 3 vehicle, you would get a rank 3 ticket. Then you could exchange this ticket for any available rank 3 vehicle or save it for next event with GE boxes (if you don’t like any rank 3 vehicle from the current box). This would be an amazing system that many players would be willing to spend money on.
But the current random vehicle system doesn’t make much sense and is not worth it in my opinion. They use the current system only because some players still buy these boxes. If no one bought these boxes they would be improved very quickly.

This is ridiculous, I got every vehicle in this crate except for the F84F IAF, and after 15 crates I only get 999 GEs, the “guaranteed” vehicle has a limited rank??? U can’t even get the one u missing even u have everything else lol

U cannot get “guaranteed” vehicle, because the crate will give u random vehicle in certain rank, if you have every vehicle in for example rank 4 u still might get some rank 4 vehicle for the “guaranteed vehicle prize”, but, in this case, u will get 999 GEs because u already have everything in this rank.

Su-30 and F/A-18 in the decal 2025

I thought gambling with real money in a video game is illegal in the EU?

Or is it OK, if the premium currency can also be acquired for free?

On another hand, I thank you to write the drop %, way more fair than usual 👌

The PEGI 12 rating does not allow for real in-game gambling, but may include simulations of gambling games. This means that the content could include games that mimic gambling games such as roulette, cards …
They go to the limit.

Ok, I was genuinely pumped for a sec when I saw the crate this morning, without back info about it.
“Hey, at least I get a present from Gayjin this year” I thought to myself. Nope. Get rekt Tiger, pay up.

I mean, you could give the decorations or a couple decals to people in a free package and it would be neat but no, not even that.

Not gonna bother with writing my mind onto here, just wanna say that enough is enough and, besides premium time, I ain’t paying for sh*t anymore.

Merry Christmas!
