Two War Thunder codes are backed by at least two dated trackers on Nov 13, 2026: 52MONKEYS (a “Wukong” decal) and WTBUTCHER (a sticker). The latest Gaijin free-code post we found, Community Update No.13, ended its STUDENTPILOT decal code on Oct 30, so we found no official Gaijin code running right now. Everything below the official line comes from trackers, and we have not redeemed anything ourselves.
Last checked: Nov 13, 2026, 22:28 UTC. Tracker dates: Destructoid Nov 2, Pocket Gamer Nov 8, Levvvel Nov 9.

Quick answer
- Best bet:
52MONKEYSis listed as active by Destructoid (Nov 2), Pocket Gamer (Nov 8) and Levvvel (Nov 9). - Second code:
WTBUTCHERis active on Destructoid (Nov 2) and Pocket Gamer (Nov 8), but missing from Levvvel’s Nov 9 list, so it is the shakier of the two. - Official source: Gaijin’s Community Update No.13 (Oct 15) says
STUDENTPILOTran only until Oct 30, 10:00 GMT. The next Community Update is planned for December. - Where to redeem: PC and console on Gaijin’s activation page; War Thunder Mobile inside the app, from your profile.

War Thunder codes working now (Nov 13, 2026)
Our rule for the table: a code counts as working only if Gaijin lists it, or at least two dated trackers do. We found no Gaijin-listed code today, so the status column rests on tracker agreement.
| Code | Reward | Status | Who lists it |
|---|---|---|---|
52MONKEYS |
1st Squadron “Wukong” decal (Destructoid); Wukong decal (Pocket Gamer); “Wukong Squadron” emblem decal (Levvvel) | Working (3 trackers) | Destructoid Nov 2, Pocket Gamer Nov 8, Levvvel Nov 9 |
WTBUTCHER |
A sticker (the two trackers name different ones, see below) | Working (2 trackers) | Destructoid Nov 2, Pocket Gamer Nov 8; not on Levvvel’s list |
PRINCEOFDARKNESS |
“Prince of Darkness” Ozzy Osbourne snail decal (Levvvel) | Unconfirmed (1 tracker) | Levvvel Nov 9 only |
BRAVO |
No reward named | Disputed | Pocket Gamer: active; Destructoid: expired |
PO-LI-GON |
Sergey Chikhachev’s sticker (Pocket Gamer) | Disputed | Pocket Gamer: active; Destructoid: expired |
One detail does not match: Destructoid says WTBUTCHER gives “Sergey Chikhachev’s sticker”, while Pocket Gamer says it gives the “Russian Butcher” sticker and attaches Chikhachev’s to PO-LI-GON. We can’t tell which is right without redeeming, so check the reward name in your decals list after you redeem.
Disputed and single-source codes are fine to try, since a wrong code only costs you a failed entry. Just don’t treat them as confirmed.

How to redeem War Thunder codes
PC and console (Gaijin account)
- Open Gaijin’s code activation page and sign in with the Gaijin account you play on. On PlayStation or Xbox, use the Gaijin account linked to your console profile (Levvvel).
- Paste the code into the activation box. Copy it rather than retyping, because Levvvel notes codes are case-sensitive.
- Press Activate.
- Start the game and open the customization menu. Gaijin’s Community Update No.13 says its decal code appears under Decals > Special > Other; Levvvel says code decals sit under Decals > Special.
War Thunder Mobile
- Open War Thunder Mobile and tap your profile on the left side of the screen.
- Tap the “Active Promo Code” button, as Pocket Gamer names it.
- Enter the code. Rewards go straight to your account, according to Pocket Gamer.
Do codes work on both versions? Sources disagree. Levvvel says the Mobile app “has its own promo code box” and that PC and console codes are separate, yet Pocket Gamer lists 52MONKEYS and WTBUTCHER in its Mobile guide, and Destructoid lists the same two for the PC game. If a code fails in one version, try the other before giving up.
Why a War Thunder code might not work
- It expired. Gaijin’s decal codes are time-limited:
STUDENTPILOTran from Oct 15 to Oct 30. Levvvel says Gaijin’s community-update decal codes usually last about two weeks, and Destructoid warns that nobody but the developer knows when a code ends. - You already used it. Levvvel says each code works once per account.
- A typo. Codes mix upper-case letters, numbers and hyphens (see
PO-LI-GON). Paste, don’t type. - Wrong version. A code made for the PC and console game may not be accepted in the Mobile app, and the other way round.
Where new War Thunder codes come from
Gaijin’s free decal codes have come in its Community Update news posts, and Levvvel adds that codes also appear on Gaijin’s social channels and during partner events and streams. The Oct 15 update closes by saying the final Community Update of 2026 arrives in December, so the next official code is most likely to show up then. That is our reading of the schedule, not a promise from Gaijin.
If you like codes for other games, we also keep dated lists for Warframe, Last War: Survival, Idle Heroes and Top Lords. Fans of large-scale war games may also like our list of games like Last War.
