*Lunar New Year

Expand

*The Lunar New Year is a fortnight-long celebration of spring, new beginnings, and good fortune in Asia, as well as many other places around the world. It is based on the cycles of the moon, so the date of the Lunar New Year is different each year, but usually falls in January or February. Each Lunar Year is named after one of twelve animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, and others), and each animal has its own unique characteristics.

The number of Golden Coins you have earned will also be displayed on the event landing page. You will need them to complete the Five Elements of Chinese geomancy: Wood, Fire, Earth, Water, and Metal, schematically depicted on this dashboard. Although the missions end on Feb. 4, the landing page is available until Feb. 11.  

Each Element costs 300 Golden Coins to complete and completing each of the first four — Wood, Fire, Earth, or Water — will grant you one universal* “zero-Skill” Crew member (Commander, Loader, Gunner, and Driver) with the Brothers in Arms Perk. 

As 2020 is the Year of the Metal Rat on the Lunar calendar, you will need to complete all the other Elements to gain access to the Metal Element. Completing the Metal Element will reward you with two valuable Crew Books: a Training Manual (containing 250,000 XP for each Crew member) and a Personal Training Manual (containing 850,000 XP for a selected Crew member).

*A Crew member for whom you can select his nationality, tank class, and Tier. The only fixed variable is his Major qualification.
