Buying a War Thunder account
A War Thunder account is priced on how many nations are at top tier, and is only yours if you control its email and Gaijin Pass. Here is what to check before paying, what the market pays for, and what Gaijin’s terms mean for a buyer.
Checklist
Seven things to check
- 1
Which nations are at top tier — in air, ground or both
This is what an account is priced on first. “Top tier” in a title should name the nations and whether it means aircraft, ground vehicles or both; ask for screenshots of each researched tree.

- 2
The vehicles the title names
Premium, event and Battle Pass vehicles cannot be researched, so they are what sets one account apart from another at the same level. Ask for a hangar screenshot showing them, not just a list.
- 3
Silver Lions, Golden Eagles and premium time
Balances and premium account days in a title are claims to verify: ask for a screenshot of the in-game balance and the premium account timer.
- 4
The Gaijin account email
You should end up controlling the Gaijin account and the email bound to it. Without the email, the previous owner can reset the password and take the account back.
- 5
Gaijin Pass
Gaijin Pass is Gaijin’s own app that asks for an access code when the account signs in from a new device. After purchase, the previous owner’s Gaijin Pass must be removed and yours connected.
- 6
Gaijin’s terms
Gaijin’s Terms of Service prohibit selling, buying, renting, exchanging or giving away an account (clause 3.6), so a purchase carries the risk of action against the account. No seller can remove that risk; a warranty can only cover the previous owner taking the account back.

A low level with one top vehicle is a different product
Many cheap listings are low-level accounts with a single bought top-tier vehicle. They play very differently from an account researched to the top — read the level and the trees, not just the vehicle name.

Answers
Buying FAQ
Is it safe to buy a War Thunder account?
It carries two risks. The previous owner can recover the account if they still control its email or Gaijin Pass, and Gaijin’s Terms of Service forbid buying and selling accounts, which can lead to action against it. Full access including the email and Gaijin Pass removes most of the first risk; nothing removes the second. METAMMO accounts carry a lifetime warranty against recovery by a previous owner — refund or replacement for the original buyer; bans are not covered.
What should a War Thunder account cost?
In public listings over the last 90 days, the median asking price was $67 for a mid-tier account (rank V–VII), $266 with top tier in one nation, $399 in 2–4 nations and $738 for collector accounts. Full breakdown on the price index.
What is Gaijin Pass?
Gaijin’s official app that adds a second step to signing in: with it connected, an access code is needed to log in from a new device. On a bought account it has to be switched to the buyer.
