Grab Your Share: Snatch Film Characters Join World of Tanks!

January 12th, 2024 – Wargaming is thrilled to present brand-new content inspired by the crime-comedy Snatch, available both in World of Tanks PC and World of Tanks Blitz. Tankers will become a part of an elaborate caper alongside five of Snatch’s most colourful characters – Franky Four-Fingers, Bullet-Tooth Tony, Tommy, Turkish and Boris the Blade. The target of this scheme is a true Steel Monster – the one-of-a-kind “Nomad” tank that features an exciting, custom-designed exterior inspired by the film.

World of Tanks PC players will enjoy the BATTLE PASS SPECIAL: SNATCH THE DIAMOND, which presents a set of objectives to complete. As tankers work through the 14 days of challenges, they can get special Snatch-inspired content in their garage. This includes five notorious tank commanders, a collection of memorable customisation items like 2D styles, decals, inscriptions, a medal, and, of course, the ultimate target: a custom “Nomad” tank.

On top of that, until February 15th, Prime Gaming members can claim a special package featuring “That Dog” as a crew skin, thematic decals, a special medal, and much more.

Details about the BATTLE PASS SPECIAL: SNATCH THE DIAMOND can be seen below:

World of Tanks Blitz also rolls into the criminal underworld with the special Battle Pass Operation Snatch. Running until January 31st, it offers players unique rewards, from a custom Caravan skin for the Charioteer tank, five movie character-inspired avatars to four tank camos based on Snatch’s gang of bruisers: Franky-Four Fingers, Boris the Blade, Turkish & Tommy, and Bullet-Tooth Tony. All this loaded up with a special item “Brand-New Caravan” inspired by the film, which players can find waiting in the garage.
