Happy anniversary, Captains!
It has already been 5 whole years since World of Warships was first put afloat on Steam. And now, on the anniversary of when it all began 5 years ago, we’re going all-out in celebrating with a 5 USD bounty challenge, free DLCs, giveaways, a marathon for our Steam-themed permanent camouflage, and more fun activities for our loyal Captains!
5 years on, we’re proud to state that there’s truly never been a better time to climb aboard and start playing World of Warships on Steam. That’s why we’re organizing a major event for our new and less experienced Captains—an opportunity to get 5 USD sent to your Steam Wallet just for playing World of Warships!
5 USD Bounty Challenge
Event starts: November 18, 2022, 00:00 UTC Event ends: December 17, 2022, 23:25 UTC
We’re giving away 5 USD in Steam Wallet credit to new and inexperienced players who manage to gain only one in-game achievement!
To secure your 5 USD credit, all you have to do is earn the Warrior achievement (win 50 Random Battles) within the event's time frame.
Terms and conditions:
The achievement must be unlocked in the game client in your World of Warships account in order to be validated. This is not to be confused with the Steam Achievements.
While the achievement must be unlocked during the event’s duration, not all progress toward the achievement needs to occur in the same time frame. For example, if you had 45 wins in Random Battles before the event started, you would only have to win five more Random Battle to get your 5 USD.
The Warrior achievement can only be earned once.
The reward will be issued only once per user, no later than 1 week after the event ends.
By participating in the event, you accept the applicable Rules of the World of Warships game and Clans. All winners will be subject to anti-bot checks before prizes are distributed. Duplicate accounts will not be rewarded.
By participating in the event, you accept the "5 USD Bounty Challenge" promotion rules available below. Please note that if you win a reward, your Steam ID will be shared with Valve Corporation to enable crediting of the reward to your Steam Wallet account.
Detailed rules of the event can be found here.
Please note that the rules were updated on December 08, 2022, due to the $5 USD Bounty Challenge change.
