World of Tanks: How to get Blueprints, Rewards for Merit, Tips, Tricks and more

Got your eyes on a certain special tank, then you'll want to know about these rewards. Here's how to get blueprints in World of Tanks.

What are blueprints?

Blueprints are special items that provide XP discounts on researching new vehicles.

They come in fragments, and are found when players receive a Reward for Merit.

WORKIN' NINE TO FIVE: You'll have to put in the work to up your chances of these special rewards

If you collect all the blueprints for a tank, you'll be able to get a 100% XP discount for it - and therefore, unlock the tank.

However, the higher the tier - the more blueprint fragments you'll have to collect.

It should be noted that the XP discount is only for the research cost of the tank - not its modules.

Sometimes you can get a blueprint for a vehicle you've already researched.
