Introduction
Event is a time-limited minor change of game functionality, usually introduced at the time of celebrations\holidays; its main idea is to boost number of active online players for the period of time. Pixonic started a tradition of introducing events in 2016.
Typical event consists of the following:
- Introduction of novelty items (paint jobs, robots, weapons)
- Sale offers for some old or new stuff and\or currencies.
- Special "Event coins", which are earned during ANY battle, win or loose, in small amounts (typical 2~5 per battle) - only one event so far used Au instead of coins.
- Event chests - pretty much like Black Market. Prior to release 3.1 there was no Black Market, it was event-only activity.
- Event tasks - introduced during Anniversary 2017 event, it accompany Daily Tasks, and present pslayer the opportunity to earn a lot of Silver and valuable prizes; usually premium weapons and bots with paintjobs pre-applied. It is worth noting that paintjob cannot be re-applied to a different bot, so to use bot with paintjob player must upgrade newly acquired bot.

Event tasks details and prizes list:
This event was by far the best in the history of WarRobots due to the following facts:
- Gold as an event currency - this means a lot more gold per battle can be won
- Very generous event prizes, a lot of Gold and WP prizes
- Lottery ROI was sky high. By investing ~5000-7000 Gold player could get back items\gold worth of 10,000-20,000 easily.
2017 Independence Day
New paintjobs, offers, and event chests were introduced. Quick Draw bots are now can be bought for the yet new currency - Influence Points. New weapon - Tempest, can be bought for 2500 coins or won in the lottery. "Event tokens" as the event currency. This event was basically a copy of the previous one, with lesser prizes.
