What’s the link between Xmas and Jason Statham? World of Tanks, apparently. The online tank battler has just announced its Xmas event, ‘Holiday Ops’, which introduces Jason Statham as the festive ambassador.

Statham provides you with a series of challenges to complete – 28, to be exact. Beat them all and you can earn a ton of rewards including – you guessed it – Jason Statham as a tank commander.

The update has plenty of non-Statham content too. There’s a festive village to explore, new 3D attachments and Large Boxes to grab, and even a daily advent calendar. Let’s take a look at everything in the World of Tanks Holiday Ops event.

World of Tanks Holiday Ops Introduces Jason Statham to the Mix

Jason Statham wants to help you celebrate Xmas this year by being the official World of Tanks Holiday Ops advisor.

Visit him in the festive village (we’ll come onto that) and he will provide you with 28 missions to complete, providing you with the following rewards:

  • Experimental Equipment
  • Jason Statham tank commander
  • Customisation elements
  • Credit boosts
  • XP bonuses

Festive Village Helps You Get in the Xmas Spirit

The festive village does exactly what it says on the tin, as it’s showered in snow, lights, and cute decorations.

Just by visiting, you earn rewards via the ‘icebreaker ship’. This replacement for Santa delivers you with Rock Crystal, Pure Emerald, Warm Amber, and Meteoric Iron.

The first two resources allow you to upgrade your decoration zones and earn more rewards. Warm Amber and Meteoric Iron, on the other hand, are used to Jason Statham’s assignments.

Daily Advent Calendar

Forgot to grab a real Advent Calendar this year? Well, don’t despair as World of Tanks will provide you with a daily reward when you login.

If you open 12 of the 31 days, you get a free Large Box. Also, if you miss a day you can still grab it the next, or a bunch of previous days using Holiday Ops resources.

There are new Large Boxes for the festive season, too. Each of them provides you with the following guaranteed rewards:

  • 250 gold
  • 150 random resources
  • 50 resources (random)

You also have a chance to earn the following:

  • Additional gold, credits, or WoT premium account days
  • Tier II – V premium vehicles or a Tier VIII or IX premium tank
  • 3D styles for tier IX or X vehicles
  • New 3D attachments
  • Garage decorations

The Rewards Round-Up

Rounding up the Holiday Ops rewards and events are:

A Well-Deserved Reward, which is a random prize based on when you first started playing World of Tanks.

The Winter Raid mode, which has three teams compete in battles to earn additional rewards and 3D attachments.

12 Days of Tankmas returns on December 2, providing you with Twitch Drops for watching Holiday Ops streams. Do so and you earn Festive Tokens, which you can exchange for additional rewards.
