Best Tank Weapons

When you set up a tank, you should focus ondamage and durabilityabove all. Choose the Primary Weapon with thehighest Attack rating, regardless of other stats. In general, the higher the caliber, the better!

Tank cannons are also used to destroy rocks. Black rocks are harder, and require higher-level shells to break.

The Secondary Weapon should be a Machine Gun or Gatling Gun that you’ll primarily usewhile the main cannon is reloading, or to quickly clear out groups of small enemies. Look for models with ahigh ammo capacity, since they’ll be less likely to run out. By the time you empty a magazine, your main cannon should be ready to fire once more.

Weapons like the Anti-Material Rifle are usually redundant on a tank, since vehicles and bots are already vulnerable to the main cannon.

Best Tank Engine And Suspension

The Tank Engine is used toBoost in short burstsand avoid attacks. Look for models like the7-Cylinder Radial Enginethat have a high Boost Recovery, ensuring that you always have at least a little bit of Nitro when you need it.

Choose your Fender based on itsDefense rating. In most cases, this will come at a slight loss of Speed, but not enough to matter. The Tank simply isn’t fast enough to dodge everything, so it’s important to be able to suffer damage without fear of blowing up.

Best Tank Extras And EX Chips

A Tank doesn’t need to be fancy, so any additional upgrades canfocus on attack, defense, or both.Extra Armoris a great choice, since Tanks have such a high HP and Defense already that the percentage multiplier will provide even more value.

Consider using anHEP Ammo Chip. This makes the cannondisrupt enemy vehicles' drive systems on a hit. Assuming they survive, they’ll be a sitting duck for the next shot.

Tank Combat Strategy

Tanks are suited for fighting onflat ground, either in the open or with large rock formations or buildings to use as cover. Start encounters byspraying the area with machine gun fire.This should clear most of the smaller enemies and even put a little damage on light bots or elites.

While the machine gun is reloading,switch to your main gunand pick a target. Carefully aim and fire methodical shots; most vehicles will go down in one or two hits, while bosses can take dozens of shells. Work your way from the smallest enemies to the largest; that way you can face the biggest foe one-on-one.

Fire slightly ahead of moving targets to ensure that you hit them.

Save your Boost fuel for when an opponent is about to charge or fire a powerful weapon. In most cases, you’ll be able to get out of the way… barely. You can take lots of hits, butkeep an eye on the vehicle’s healthand have Repair Kits ready if it gets low.

Tanks can handle nearly any enemy on even ground, but theystruggle to hit airborne enemiessince their guns can’t aim at a high angle. If you’re fighting Pteranos or other flyers, try switching to something like the Jump Bot.
