What are Tokens in WoT?

Tokens are basically progress counters for mission chains. You may have noticed Tokens tend to appear in your inventory around the time of festivals and promo events. In short, when you receive a Token, that’s just the game telling you that you’ve made progress in a mission.

If you’re unsure what missions you’re making progress toward, just click on the Missions tab in your Garage. This will bring up a list of all active mission chains. You can also see which missions grant Tokens that unlock a reward.

The most common Tokens are Battle Pass Tokens. These accumulate as you complete Battle Pass missions.

How do I redeem Tokens in WoT?

Tokens cannot be redeemed in World of Tanks. Again, Tokens are just progress counters. You are instantly rewarded when you’ve fulfilled the requirements for a mission, and any related Tokens are removed automatically from your inventory.

How do I get Tokens in WoT?

To get Tokens, simply complete objectives related to a mission. Not all missions grant Tokens, so be sure to check your Missions tab to see which ones do.

Do Battle Pass Tokens carry over after a season?

There are many different types of Tokens in World of Tanks, but nearly all of them work the same way. So, that just about covers what Tokens are for in World of Tanks. It’s not a hard concept to grasp, even if the idea of Tokens you can’t spend is a bit silly (what’s wrong with a simple counter?). The next time you see that Congratulations pop up, you know to check your Missions tab!
