Black Signal: New 7v7 Tier X Mode in World of Tanks

Czytaj po polsku: Czarny sygnał: nowy tryb 7v7 w World of Tanks

Black Signal is the newest limited-time event in World of Tanks, running from November 12 to November 24, 2026. Two teams of seven Tier X vehicles fight over antennas instead of a base, and getting knocked out is only a short break – you respawn and drive straight back in. Story-wise, the event picks up the Sector 3 campaign.

What’s new?

• 7v7, Tier X only, and no SPGs allowed.
• Antennas decide the match. Holding them earns Signal Points; the first team to 2,500 wins, otherwise the higher score when time runs out.
• Capturing heals. Taking an antenna restores 25% of your HP and heals allies standing in the zone. One enemy in the circle pauses the capture, while extra allies don’t make it faster – so spreading out across several antennas pays off.
• Unlimited respawns after a 20-second timer. You pick your spawn point on an enlarged minimap, can swap to another eligible Tier X vehicle, and get 10 seconds of damage protection.
• Free ammo: shells you fire are returned after the battle.
• Maps: Murovanka, Safe Haven and Pilsen, each reworked for the mode.
• No Tier X in your garage? Four event rentals are available: T110E5, Centurion AX, T-100 LT and Grille 15.

Rewards

Progression runs through 12 Data Blocks with three rewards each. You fill them with Data Packets from battles and daily missions (up to two per day). The track includes a unique Commander, the “Signal Hunter” 2D style, five 3D attachments and Battle Pass Points.

Why it matters

This isn’t a returning classic but a fresh format: short, aggressive fights with no ammo bill. It’s a relaxed way to play Tier X, and the rentals let you try out tanks like the Grille 15 or T-100 LT before you spend XP on them. Don’t wait too long – Black Signal ends on November 24.

Does it affect mods?

No separate install is needed – Black Signal runs in the regular game client. Legit mods such as XVM, Aslain’s modpack or add-ons from the official WGMods hub should behave as they do in Random Battles. Respawn-based modes with unusual objectives can still trip up some battle-interface mods (minimap, counters, team panels), so if something looks off, make sure you’re on the latest version of the mod first. Our mod installation guide walks you through the folders step by step.
