Announced on November 12, 2025, this feature directly addresses a common issue for veteran players who have amassed large fleets over the years. The Black Friday Squadron provides a centralized hub to manage your special event vessels and their attached rewards.
Collection Clarity and Mission Tracking
The system serves two primary functions. First, it gives you a clear overview of which ship pairs you own—meaning the original tech tree or premium vessel and its corresponding Black Friday variant. For dedicated collectors, this finally offers an easy way to see your completed sets without manually digging through the port carousel.
More importantly for optimizing your account, the feature tracks unclaimed combat missions tied to these ships. If you own a Black ship but haven't completed its unique mission chain for Doubloons and other rewards, this tool will flag it for you. It’s a simple but effective way to ensure you're not leaving valuable resources on the table from past purchases.
Why is this feature important now?
For players with dozens of ships, it's easy to lose track of which Black Friday missions are still active or were never completed. This tool streamlines what was once a tedious port search into a quick, efficient check. It ensures players can maximize their Doubloon earnings from their existing collection, which is a significant value-add for anyone invested in the World of Warships Black Friday ecosystem.
While not a massive content drop, the Black Friday Squadron is a smart, player-focused utility that adds real value. Check it out in your port to see if you have any rewards waiting to be claimed.
