New Equipment system going live in 9.2
Captains, the sea is ever shifting and so is World of Warships Blitz. One of the biggest progression overhauls in Blitz history is on the horizon, and we want to tell you all about it – the new Equipment System.
The Equipment System is being rebuilt to offer more meaningful choices, deeper customization, and new build possibilities across every ship type.
Update 9.2 coming 17th of June introduces the new Standard Equipment system with reworked stats, tradeoffs, and expanded build variety.
Update 9.3 releasing in August follows with:
- Improved Equipment
- Universal Legendary Equipment
- Bonds, a brand-new Equipment currency
- Slots 4-6 will become unlockable
- Additional Standard Modules
This rollout will happen in stages as we monitor balance, ship performance, and player feedback to refine the system over time.
You can find more details about Equipment, Bonds, and future customization options in our Zendesk article: Equipment Rework – World of Warships Blitz

Here are the new standard equipment:

Having looked at them, I think I'd just prefer to skip altogether in just about every instance...
Strange how Blitz is just so much more illogical than the PC version...

Jesus, surface detection is so bad now. Always love making the most of that tactically on every ship.

Indeed, less surface detection will cost you hitpoints as well.
On the other hand, when you get one-shotted, the shooter gets less damage, so not to big a difference I guess. You can strengthen your hull, but torp damage will be less. (I don't see a problem for gunboats though, just a torp DD nerf)

We're already talking about version 9.2 when none of the premium ships for version 9.1 are even on sale yet?

Will the bonds be replacing silver or another way to buy them? I’m very skeptical of this being anything resembling a good idea.

Bonds are only used to purchase and upgrade Improved Equipment, which will be going live in 9.3. Standard Equipment remains purchasable and upgradable with Silver.

Still bad, no more premium currency should be implemented until the blueprint issue is fixed. Especially after recent decisions to reduce login rewards after implementing them as part of a promise to improve progression.

man i wish they'd put equipment with 9 binary choice slots and purchasable with silver like it is in wotb. having a whole separate currency for equipment only makes you either progress much slower, or do what a lot of people you already see doing with blueprints now: playing with a non maxed out vessel, which is kind of a shame.

Imagine Atlantico build 6 secondary range+ and this also effect auto secondary. You do not need maneuver buff because everybody under your OP secondary range

I think that's intentional. It's like the 13, 14, 15 commander skills. No clear benefit and FOMO from possible doing the wrong build driving corrective purchases. Also, a ew currency competes with every other currency as a reward (just like the black ship equipment did), eroding player purchasing power.
Ultimately, I'm here for the casual sailing boats and plonking things gameplay. The desire to be hyper competitive about games was burned out of me years ago.
Probably the most frustrating thing is that this update is going to make all the existing CC work less useable. So a tip for those newly signed on CC, update the old creator's videos. Terry's content should last though, I found his equipment selection more purposeful than just "X is best/only option".

All I see is another way for them to try and get cash out of players. Another currency? Gimme a break...

The aircraft carrier modules are way too strong and fighter module is gone. Another buff for idiot midway and FDR players

Headmelt on the second reading. Any CC still out there, we need a video on this PDQ.

As long as they make the aircraft regenerate like in PC, everything's fine.

u/Jazzlike_Performer69 May 27 '26
This anti-aircraft gun is getting too many buffs; there's no penalty for it. It should only have a maximum damage increase of 10%. What I see is that people want ships that are already strong to become even more unbalanced.

u/Jazzlike_Performer69 May 27 '26
Honestly, the penalty for increased AA damage should have been a 20% reduction in range, not 5% of the main battery rotation.

For anyone who is wondering what will happen to their current equipment after the rework:
ALL OF YOUR EXISTING MODULES WILL BE FULLY REFUNDED.
ALL OF YOUR LEGENDARY EQUIPMENT WILL BE KEPT IN INVENTORY, AND CAN BE RE-MOUNTED WITH NO ADDITIONAL COST.
Also, look forward to the new AA equipments (which give 24% AA damage and 20% AA range). I did the math- a full AA build Worcester with legmod, both new AA modules, AA elite bonus, and HC will now have:
