World of Tanks Update 1.20.1 Patch Notes
Spring into the action with Update 1.20.1, Commanders!
It features the improved crew perk system and a new branch of Japanese tank destroyers. On top of that, this update introduces the Season of the Crimson Griffin in Onslaught. You’ll also be able to experience random events and dynamic cover in Recon Mission, which will come later in May. Finally, you can assemble the Collection feature in Battle Pass and also purchase new slots in the Garage with credits. Scroll down for details!
Recon Mission: Random Events and Dynamic Cover
Random events and dynamic cover are parts of the Recon Mission mode, which will kick off in May. Each of these brand-new mechanics offers you a fresh gameplay experience and opens up new tactical opportunities on the battlefield.
Random events occur at a specific time and in specific areas of four maps: Safe Haven, Ruinberg, Prokhorovka, and Himmelsdorf. They change the environment around you and the combat situation on the battlefield, so try to use this to gain an advantage over your opponents!
Dynamic cover refers to various movable objects (e.g., shipping containers, concrete blocks, etc.) that you can use to protect yourself against enemy fire. Read the article below to find out more about both mechanics!
The Improved Crew Perk System
We’re continuing to work on a comprehensive rework of the crew system in World of Tanks. Now all perks are available immediately once you start training them. The major qualification level now affects almost all perks (excluding Brothers in Arms). The higher it is, the stronger the perk effect.
New Branch: Japanese Tank Destroyers
Six menacing Japanese tank destroyers are ready to head into battle! All vehicles boast high-caliber guns that cause good damage per shot. Massive yet maneuverable, these Japanese TDs are designed to support the team from the second line of fire or assist heavy tanks on the front line. Take them for a spin to strike fear—and damage—into your opponents!
New Launch of Onslaught
Onslaught, our competitive mode, returns with the Season of the Crimson Griffin and special status rewards! It brings several gameplay improvements, including the following:
- Reworked vehicle Role Skills
- Two special combat modifiers
- Two additions to the map pool: Airfield and Glacier
- And more!
Battle Pass Collection
Battle Pass Season X features the exciting backstories of the Season’s heroes. This story is told through the descriptions of various in-game goodies (e.g., crew members, progressive and 2D styles, and decals) that you collect as Base and Improved Rewards. These items are the Elements of the Collection feature. Simply progress in Battle Pass as usual to complete it!
Assembling the current Season’s Collection will earn you extra Battle Pass Tokens (up to three in Season X). If you don’t manage to complete the Collection in this current Season, you can do so in the following Seasons by purchasing the missing elements with Battle Pass Points.

Players with Premium Accounts will be credited an additional 24 hours of WoT Premium Account time to make up for the update maintenance period.
