Enlisted Kicks Off Its Eighth Battle Pass Season of 2026
The Elite track adds premium squads, a Japanese fighter and vehicle camouflages, alongside a batch of smaller fixes.
Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment have started the eighth Battle Pass season of 2026 for Enlisted, the World War II squad-based shooter, on August 26. Per the studio’s announcement, the Soviet PPT-28 submachine gun is the headline reward on the free progression track, while the Elite track adds premium squads and vehicles.
According to the announcement, the PPT-28 is a low-Battle-Rating Soviet weapon chambered for a higher-powered pistol cartridge, placing it early in the tech tree where most players will fight with it. The Elite tier includes a Japanese N1K2-J fighter with a unique finish, a camouflage for the Panther A tank, and named crew members, among them a German pilot and a US soldier. Overall, the studio says Elite pass holders receive four unique weapons, two soldiers, a tank camouflage and an aircraft across the season, versus one weapon and one soldier on the free track.
The season also carries a set of smaller fixes. Per the notes, these include corrections to the destructibility of wooden fences, gates and posts as well as stone fences on Far East maps, and a fix for puddles that could appear to float above the ground. Seasonal Battle Passes in Enlisted run for a fixed window, and unclaimed progression does not carry over, so players who want the full set need to finish the track before it closes.
For PC players, Enlisted is a Windows shooter, also on consoles, that has used a merged progression structure since its 2023 overhaul: rather than parallel campaigns, each faction has a single shared research tree. That means Battle Pass weapons feed into the same progression regardless of which maps a player prefers, and seasonal rewards are the main route for free players to add kit without buying squads outright.
What this means for players
- The free-track PPT-28 is a low-BR weapon, so it slots into early-game Soviet squads rather than high-tier lineups.
- Elite pass value is concentrated in the premium squads and the N1K2-J, which is the usual pattern for these seasons.
- Terrain destructibility fixes on Far East maps may change cover you have relied on.
- Merged progression means these rewards apply across all of a faction’s battles, not a single campaign.
