War 2026

Tankers, we are once again launching the legendary “War” event from the Tanki Online universe.

This time, we’ve added a new mechanic — double the number of stars with the “Booster”.

“War” is a three-faction conflict to capture territories on the game map. Become a participant, earn stars, and vote daily for the directions of attacks and defenses of territories on a special website.

Event dates: August 14th, 2 AM UTC — September 3rd, 2 AM UTC.

How to Participate?

You can participate in the event starting from the rank of Master Sergeant (8).

To participate, you must purchase the special “Escalation” offer available in the in-game Shop.

Escalation

EVENT PASS

After purchasing this special offer, you will become an event participant, your stars will start counting, and you will be assigned to one of the three factions:

Wolves

Lions

Bears

You can check your faction on the event website after purchasing the special offer. Faction changes are not allowed.

EVENT WEBSITE

What to do next?

After you become an event participant, we automatically start counting the number of stars you earn from that moment onward. Stars are used to choose which territory your faction will attack and which territory it will defend.

Stars earned before purchasing the special offer are not counted.

Each day in the game marks a new phase. The first phase begins on August 14th at 2 AM UTC. Each phase ends at 6 AM UTC the following day. During this time, we stop counting stars and close voting to perform calculations and show how the situation on the War map has changed.

The second and subsequent phases begin around 7 AM UTC. At the start of a new phase, stars are reset. Only new stars earned from the beginning of the next phase on the game’s website will count toward the next phase.

To vote, you must earn at least 5 stars during a phase. Once you have 5 stars, you can go to the event website and cast your vote.

How to Vote for Territories?

The event website features a map of the fictional world of Tanki Online. The map consists of 69 territories, each named after in-game maps. Each faction starts its journey from its capital. This is the only territory that is initially captured by the faction.

Each phase, a player must cast two votes: one vote for a territory their faction should attack, and one vote for a territory their faction should defend.

You can only vote to defend a territory that belongs to your faction. This means that in the first phase, you can only vote to defend your capital. In subsequent phases, your faction will capture other territories, giving you more options for which territory to defend.

You can only vote to attack a territory that shares a border with a territory already captured by your faction. This means that on the first phase, you can choose any territory that borders your capital, as your capital is the only territory your faction will control at that point. In the next phase, you will have captured several territories and will be able to vote to attack territories that border those captured in the first phase.

On the event website, select the territory you want to attack and the territory you want to defend. Then confirm your vote. From the moment you confirm your vote, all the stars you have earned in that phase are allocated to the attack and defense of the territories you selected.

For example, if you have earned 20 stars and voted to attack territory A and defend territory B, then 20 stars will be allocated to the attack on territory A, and those same 20 stars will be allocated to the defense of territory B.

If you earn more stars after you have already voted, you need to reopen the website (or refresh the page if it’s already open) for the new stars to be added to your vote.

How to double the number of your stars?

Booster

“Booster” is available on the event website. This is a special offer that can be purchased each game day of the event. The “Booster” doubles the number of stars a player has earned for voting. The Booster’s effect expires at the end of the game day in which it was purchased.

Booster costs 100 Rubies.

You can purchase Booster at any time during the event’s game day. If you have purchased Booster by the end of the game day, your stars for this game day will be counted twice.

How is a Territory Captured?

When a phase ends, we calculate how many stars were allocated to the attack and defense of each territory.

If a territory is unclaimed and only your faction is attacking it, your faction will capture it.

If a territory is unclaimed and multiple factions are attacking it, it is captured by the faction that allocated the most stars to its attack.

If a territory is captured by another faction and is being attacked by others, we compare the number of stars allocated to the attack by each attacking faction with the number of stars allocated to its defense by the owning faction. If at least one attacking faction allocated more stars to the attack than were allocated to its defense, the territory is captured by the attacking faction that allocated the most stars to the attack. If more stars were allocated to its defense, the territory remains with the faction that currently owns it.

If two factions attack a territory owned by a third, and both attacking factions allocated an identical number of stars to the attack, a number which is also greater than the stars allocated to its defense by the owning faction, then the territory becomes neutral (unclaimed).

How to Earn Points?

At the end of each phase, we award points to your faction for the territories it controls based on the results of this phase.

If your faction lost a territory during the phase, it does not receive points for that territory at the end of that phase. If your faction won a territory during the phase, it does receive points for that territory at the end of that phase.

Capitals and the three central territories (Aleksandrovsk, Solikamsk, Osa) are worth 5 points each.
12 territories adjacent to the central ones (Cologne, Brest, Esplanade, Industrial Zone, Madness, Skyscrapers, Future, Iran, Rio, Parma, Tribute, Novel) are worth 3 points each.
3 more territories elsewhere on the map (Chernobyl, Monte Carlo, Desert) also give 3 points each.
All other territories are worth 1 point each, unless otherwise announced by the event organizers.

The last phase ends on September 3rd, 6 AM UTC.
