Free to play games are going Halloween crazy. Throne and Liberty has dropped Halloween skins ahead of its event, Rocket League has unleashed Haunted Hallows, and OSRS dropped a pumpkin-themed event. And now, World of Tanks Blitz is getting involved with its own Halloween event, The Vortex of Souls. What a name.
As you can expect, it introduces a number of cosmetics to buy or unlock, as well as challenges to beat. You do need at least a Tier IV vehicle to participate, and you earn Lanterns by doing so. This is a new currency that helps you progress through the Vortex of Souls battle pass.
In total, there are 60 levels of rewards to earn, each requiring 1,000 Lanterns to unlock. You earn 200 Lanterns per mission, though you can use a Lantern Booster to earn 1,000 Lanterns guaranteed from your next battle.
Is the Vortex of Souls Battle Pass Free?
Much like a regular battle pass, you can earn 30 rewards for free, but the remaining 30 require you to buy one of two passes from the store. Here’s what you get for each of them:
Event Mission Pass
- Two extra daily missions, rewarding 350 Lanterns
- 1,365 Power Cells to upgrade tanks
Event Booster Pass
- 15 Lantern Boosters (granting 15 levels guaranteed if you play 15 battles)
- 10,000 Lanterns (granting 10 event levels instantly)
- 10 Wicked Souls Containers (these can drop the Souleater skin)
- 3,510 Power Cells to upgrade tanks
World of Tanks Halloween Event Skins
Now, let’s take a look at the skins you can earn by participating in the Halloween event.

Lightbringer
The Lightbringer is basically the MMORPG paladin of tanks. Just look at it glowing with holy power. It’s a tier seven tank with decent damage and solid armour.
You also earn a profile background based on this tank if you hit event level 60. You unlock the tank at event level 20.

Souleater
Easily the best of the new skins, Souleater does exactly what it says on the tin. We wouldn’t want to come tank-to-tank with this one!
You can get the Souleater from the Wicked Souls Containers.

Wyvern Scalemail Camouflage
If you like your tank to look like it’s wearing dragon scales, the Wyvern Scalemail Camouflage is the one for you
Hero’s Kit
If you visit the store by October 24, you can grab a Hero’s Kit for free. This grants you a camouflage and Soul Crystal.
