The winter has arrived - it’s time to warm up in the battles from the Winter Quest in War Thunder! To brighten up the long, dark evenings we have prepared many prizes that you can get for any of your usual activities, because you just need to get points to complete the tasks!
You can get high ranked event vehicles of all types! Trophies with rewards, decal coupons, camouflages for event vehicles, player icons and decorations await you. Low ranked premium vehicles will be given this time to aircraft fans (last time we gave them to tankers).
Let’s light the Christmas tree together!

Points multiplier that varies based on vehicle rank and difficulty level is stated in the task description. The tasks are all the same and are renewed every two days at 11:00 GMT.
Missed Marks of distinction can be purchased for Golden Eagles until January 12th without completing the tasks. You can do that in the menu “Nickname → Achievements → Winter Quest → Tasks for tankers/pilots/sailors.

The “Ice Chest” will bring you unique decals, decorations, vehicles and camouflages from all past War Thunder winter events. Some items from past events appear as coupons for the first time and you will be able to trade them on the Market! Also you can find Silver Lions, boosters, universal backups, wagers and orders.
The cost of the “Ice Chest” is 10,000 Silver Lions, the cost of the “Almighty Key” - 50,000 Silver Lions. “Almighty Keys” can also be obtained for 3 and 10 Marks of distinction of the “Winter Quest” event.

Detailed terms
The exact terms of each task can be found in the “Nickname → Achievements → Winter Quest” window.
To get a Mark of distinction, you need to complete a task in the corresponding vehicle type in the corresponding game mode. For example, a Mark of distinction for a pilot can be received only by playing Air battles (AB/RB/SB).
You can complete the tasks in multiplayer battles in all game modes except for “Assault”.
You can complete the tasks not only in vehicles of Rank III and above, but also in lower rank event vehicles. You could receive those in large events such as winter and summer marathons, WWII chronicles, BP seasons and craft marathons. In the vehicle cards of such vehicles you can find the names of events in which said vehicles first became available in the game.
You have received the Mark of distinction if the achievement’s color is golden.
Missed Marks of distinction can be purchased for Golden Eagles in the Achievements window until January 12th, 2023. Make sure you pick the right achievement category: for tankers, pilots and sailors.
Prizes received in the form of tradable coupons will be available for trading on the market from January 13th, 2023. The time from which the coupon can be traded can be viewed in the game in the coupon description. The option of trading each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and doesn’t depend on the vehicle type.
For 8 Marks of distinction you receive an untradable coupon for a vehicle. Upon activating it, you will instantly receive a corresponding vehicle. If you do not wish to use the vehicle and want to sell the coupon on the Marketplace instead, you need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
For 10 Marks of distinction you receive an untradable “Upgrade for coupon” item. You can use it to make the vehicle coupon you received tradable and then sell it on the Marketplace. The date on which a traded coupon becomes available for sale can be seen in its description in the game.
The “Upgrade for coupon” item has an expiration date. You can either use it or exchange it for Warbonds before it expires.
PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to exchange decal coupons for similar ones. The exchange is available in the “Workshop → Exchange items “Winter Quest” window.
See you on the battlefield!
