Gaijin Entertainment has officially kicked off the 14th-anniversary celebration for War Thunder, introducing a broad range of price reductions across the game's economy. This event, which is currently live for players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, provides a significant window for users to expand their hangars and accelerate their progression. The promotion is scheduled to run from October 23rd through October 28th, giving the community a limited timeframe to capitalize on these savings.
Breakdown of Anniversary Savings
The core of this event centers on a flat 50% discount applied to vehicles across every nation in the game. Whether players prefer to spend Silver Lions or Golden Eagles, the cost for acquiring new hardware has been halved for the duration of the sale. Beyond the acquisition of new units, the event also targets the ongoing costs of maintaining and upgrading existing fleets. Players can secure modifications, talismans, and backups at half their usual price, making this an ideal time to finalize the loadouts of favorite vehicles.
- Vehicles: 50% discount for all nations.
- Upgrades: 50% off modifications, talismans, and backups.
- Premium Time: 50% discount on 90, 180, and 365-day subscriptions.
Important Exclusions and Event Scope
While the sale covers a vast majority of the available content, there are specific exclusions that players should keep in mind before finalizing their purchases. Most notably, vehicles introduced in the recent Sky Odyssey and Heavy Cavalry major updates are not included in these discounts. It is recommended that players verify the eligibility of specific items within the in-game store interface to avoid any confusion during the checkout process. The following table outlines the primary categories affected by the current promotion:
| Category | Discount Rate |
|---|---|
| All Nations Vehicles | 50% |
| Modifications | 50% |
| Talismans | 50% |
| Backups | 50% |
| Premium Account (90/180/365 days) | 50% |
For those looking to maximize their efficiency, the 50% discount on Premium Account status for 90, 180, and 365-day packages offers a substantial boost to research and currency gain rates. By securing these items before the event concludes on October 28th, players can effectively lower the grind associated with high-tier progression. The synchronization of these discounts across all platforms ensures that the entire player base has equal access to these anniversary benefits, maintaining a consistent economic environment throughout the celebration period.
