Key takeaway

Start with short-lived bonuses: recent codes, claim buttons, and activatable missions. Then secure recurring rewards. For recruitment, an account with fewer than 100 battles or a returning account after 90 days of inactivity may still qualify.

Returning after a break?

Before playing again, check 2026 returning-player rewards, the eligibility checker, and the code vs recruitment-link guide.

1. Start with Bonus Codes

Codes are the most volatile resource and may expire without clear dates. Test recent entries before old ones.

The section shows region, date added, reported reward, and status. Community codes are marked Test first.

Use the correct EU, NA, or ASIA portal.
Copy the newest codes first.

2. Check articles with activation buttons

Some missions require a Participate, Start, or Claim button inside an official article.

Check Port News and the official portal after updates before beginning a long session.

3. Choose daily containers around a goal

Daily XP thresholds provide containers. More Coal offers predictable progress when Coal is the objective.

Choose one resource priority for several weeks.

4. Use events without buying every stage

Event Passes, missions, Dockyards, and campaigns provide resources, containers, Premium time, and ships. Read the full track before paying.

Estimate what normal play unlocks first.

5. Link Twitch only if you already watch

Twitch Drops reward eligible viewing after linking accounts.

Do not turn forced viewing into unpaid work for an average container.

6. New or returning player: use the actual eligibility rules

A new player can join the Recruiting Station while the account has fewer than 100 battles. An existing account may also qualify after at least 90 days without a battle.

Recruitment is separate from bonus codes. Activate it before you cross the threshold for your profile.
