Talented authors from Live.WT have teamed up with the captains of eSport teams to create 22 camouflages for a variety of vehicles. You can get the trophy by playing War Thunder. In the future you will have a better chance of getting a trophy when you participate in eSport events and tournaments in War Thunder. PlayStation and Xbox players can purchase the trophy in the Item Shop and open it with Golden Eagles. Read more on our wiki.

To open it, youll need to purchase a key on the Market (income is shared with the authors of the camouflages). You can either activate the coupon on your account, or trade it on the Market to get Gaijin Coins (GJN). A trophy can be sold as well!

We plan to add new eSport camouflages to the eSport trophy.
