This tanki fund COULD HAVE been the best we've had, but it won't. EMP hammer has been nerfed and you don't even get to shoot at enemy with EMP status effect on... Helios will be nerfed (no doubt at all). Tanki's profits from Helios has peaked and they've made thousands. 4th prot slot... I'm pretty sure everyone has that now. Hammer legacy skin is honestly nice ? Vacuum shell (and the other OP Thunder aug) will both be nerfed after a while (just like Helios will be) Swarm aug for Scorpion is good but we all know Scorpion turret will be nerfed when it's in the garage for everyone... remember Gauss... Remember Tesla... Pulsar for Tesla will be nerfed... just like Thunder Pulsar and Rico Pulsar Armadillo and Crisis, as much as i rlly want them, we won't reach it. Once we get all the OP augments the heavy buyers (who we're relying on to drive this Tanki fund) will stop buying the bundles - they all already have crisis and armadillo and they don't want f2p players like us to get it, cos it would level the playing field more. Morals of the story: 1) While this tanki fund looks amazing, all the OP augs will be nerfed after Tanki make their money. 2) If you're dreaming of Crisis and armadillo, don't bother. We will NEVER get it from a tanki fund cos tanki will always put them as the last items, so heavy buyers (who drive the fund) won't let us reach it cos they want it for themselves. 3) If you're naive enough to think Tanki won't nerf these augments....... Electroturret, AP Tesla, EMP Tesla, Blunderbuss, EMP Hammer, AP Hammer, EMP Gauss, AP Gauss, Stun Striker, EMP Twins. These were all amazing augments that got nerfed badly, some of them are even unusable now. Thanks Tanki, at least you made money.

How dyu use blunderbuss then? any specific combo/drone? Anytime i use it (maxed hammer, maxed viking and maxed booster) it doesn't impress me. MAYBE it's a skill issue but to me it just doesn't seem impressive, and defo seems ass compared to how it was upon release, and even like 7 months ago

Thanks again for the advice:) I would genuinely punch the wall if i blew £200 on ultras this summer and didn't get crisis. I'll just use the £ on the next tanki space mission or any event that guarantees crisis.

to be honest, you're probably right. I suppose it's just majorly unfair to have augments like this that either obliterate opponents or leave them as good as dead (open to being one shotted). The thing that just annoys me is the contrast in how OP they were then and how (imo) they're unusable now). On blunderbuss, i genuinely think it's garbage now. Every 2 weeks or so i give it a try for like 3-5 matches in a row and i find it very underwhelming... crits don't feel frequent, reload is a joke (imo) and now 50% prot is enough to stop it. On your last point, I must sadly admit that I've become reliant on AP/EMP augments. For ap augments, I used AP Gauss 90% of the time for about 15 months and in like the last 2 months the updates have rlly nerfed it, so now i have to use other augments which are balanced but seem underwhelming to me. Same with EMP Gauss, i rlly don't see the point of it now since you don't even get to fire at enemy with EMP status effect on...

That was such an informative read, thanks! I've been buying ultras and tankoins sporadically since about December and this summer i was planning on buying a 290 ultra bundle to get crisis, the latest OP augments and maybe even armadillo. Now i'm asking myself, does a game (where all you have to do is spend 200£ minimum to have the most OP gear and to dominate genuinely experienced and skilled players) deserve £200 of my savings? Probably not. In fact, definitely not. But i just rlly want Crisis and an OP augment cos my 'OP' augments have all been nerfed to the ground, for example: AP Gauss - USED TO be able to dominate battles, kill lots of enemies at once, very high instant damage, very fast salvo reload, lots of kills and assists per game... NOW, simple repair kit undoes my AP status effect and salvo reload feels like double. EMP Gauss - USED TO basically do the same but with EMP Status effect... NOW, i don't even get to fire at enemy with EMP status effect cos the EMP duration is like 2 seconds ? AP striker - USED TO be able to 2 shot medium hulls and sometimes large hulls who don't have defender (1 AP shot, one shot with 2000 damage)... NOW, simple repair kit undoes my AP status efferct Blunderbuss........ I don't even need to speak. USED TO be the best augment Tanki's ever seen... NOW it's barely useable without crisis and wasp Electroturret........ I don't even need to speak this time AP Hammer- USED TO be able to armor-pierce enemies (with last shot in clip method) and destroy them while they're armourless with fully loaded clip... NOW, AP effect can be undone with health kits EMP smoky - USED TO be able to apply EMP and shoot at supplieless enemy for about 3 shots... NOW, EMP duration is 1 shot If you've read this far, thanks. I just gave examples of augments I have (that back in the day or even recently were arguably 10/10) and now they're barely worth using. That's why I rlly wanna buy ultras to get crisis and a few new OP augments to finally have augments worth using. .... But knowing Tanki, those augments will be nerfed within 6 months anyway... the typical Tanki cycle. (side note): I still can't believe how seriously GOD-TIER augments like Electroturret, EMP tesla, AP tesla, Blunderbuss, EMP Gauss and AP Gauss are now barely useable.... they went from 50 kills in 6 mins augments to 25-30 kills (or less) in 15 minutes augments. sad game. and incase you weren't aware, don't be fooled by Helios in the tanki fund. They'll nerf that to the ground in the next 3 months. Once tanki make their profit for OP augments (which they definitely have now for Helios) they nerf it, to make people excited for the NEW SHINY OP AUGMENT. the cycle continues . I won't be surprised if this fund reaches Crisis and within 6 months they release a new exclusive drone....

Actually, I still have vampire isida, EMP Firebird, Jammer Freeze, AP Freeze, AP Hammer, Jammer Hammer, Stun Hammer, AP smoky, EMP Smoky, AP Striker and Healing emitters. so not all my 'favorite equipment has been nerfed to the ground'. But kudos to you for being good with Brutus, that means you're truly skillful. ehhhhhh... i don't rlly like adrenaline. But since i don't even get to capitalize on my EMP/AP shots anymore I may try it ? thx

https://helper.tankionline.com/landing/puzzle?set_lang=en Good news and bad news. Good news: I think i may be the first to complete it!! Good news: I'm not even tryna be a prick but i forgot 75% of the pages i went on

What drone should i even use now?? I maxed booster 2 weeks before it got nerfed from +200% damage to +30% and it was OP asf with AP gauss. Then they nerfed it and i was annoyed but it was still very powerful, Now it's LITERALLY garbage. Just played CTF and i can't even one shot a light hull (no gauss protection) with my maxed EMP gauss and booster. Honestly wtf tanki. Nerfing Booster the first time was annoying but understandable cos it was the best drone in the game by far. WTF was the point of nerfing it now??? You've just made it unusable. Think about this: maxed striker single shot with maxed booster (excluding uranium) can't even one shot an unprotected light hull with no boosted armor..... Think about how silly that sounds! It's just pathetic and to think i've spent close to £200 on this game and i was gonna buy a 290 Ultra container bundle in the summer. Emphasis on was. This game is stupid and finished. They really don't know how many players they lost when they nerfed booster the first time. Now they've made booster unusable, and crisis too....... finished game. Don't spend money on it. It'll be obsolete in a couple years.

no, mate

Thank you ? I've been reading the forum recently for people's opinions on patch updates and stuff, and today I felt like interacting myself! XD

tbh Crisis is for players who have all their favorite guns and hulls and all prot modules maxed. All you have to do is save your crystals for 50% off sales and buy 10s of thousands of each supply and batteries.

i see...... I used to think defender+ AP immunity players were invincible until Tanki made it wayyy easier to get EMP augments. I still think it's a good combo, but i just think with so many easily accessible AP/EMP/Jammer augments surely defender is easy to counter?

@Venerable yh in hindsight it was a very contradictory comment ??? But i'm sure someone will find it useful... i hope

I'm guessing you disagree....?

@King.David ?????fair enough. But i wasn't saying it's a F2P method, i was just giving a tip to F2P players who are CONSIDERING buying but don't wanna spend hundreds to get OP stuff. There's a way cheaper method but it requires patience.

Trickster is definitely not better than Crisis, although it's very very good in MM battles. And Hyperion is good for balanced and efficient gameplay, especially when using melee turrets, BUT with hyperion you stand no chance vs players using crisis. Best drones are IMO: Crisis, Trickster, booster, Brutus. Defender is useless these days.

that's cos you're opening a small amount at staggered times. Tanki devs aren't stupid. they want money. and they know players want OP stuff. buying ultra containers (in large bulk) is the mutual compromise for all stakeholders. Tanki get money, buyers get OP stuff. And to disprove your main point about youtubers barely getting good stuff in ultras, they already 99% of the OP stuff. You can't get crisis, armadillo, helios and stun hammer if you already have it! That's why they get a lot of paints and 1 million crystals - they already have most of the exotic and legendary items! If you watch youtubers who DON'T already have everything OP and they buy lots of ultras. They definitely get OP things.

yup. Buying 4 tankion passes when they are on offer costs 68 pounds in total. and you can then buy 290 ultra cont bundle.

I DEFINATELY would. I want Crisis. I wasn't always this desperate for crisis but since they nerfed all drones (especially booster), Crisis is just the best drone by far now. Man i miss the old booster drone days ? +200% damage with Gauss and Crusader was so good. Shame i didn't have blunderbuss then; people used to get like 40 kills and 5 deaths in a 6 minute battle. The critical damage with booster was almost reaching 10k. insane.

*TIP FOR F2P PLAYERS* This is your only way of keeping up with rich buyers and Russians. Consider yourself lucky if you see this ? Every 6 weeks or so Tanki sell 290 ultras as part of a bundle.... for 20,000 Tankions. Only way to get that is Esports prizes (so only a few people) OR buying 20,000 tankions for like 200 dollars (only for the rich or Russians). BUT, i have a method to obtain this. BUY THE DAILY TANKOINS PASS EVERYTIME IT COMES OR AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. It costs £16.67 ($20.98) and you get 5000 Tankions in a month. If you buy 4 of these, that's 20,000 Tankoins!!!! This means you can buy the 290 ultra container bundle and you've only spent £66.68 over a period of about 4 or 5 months. This means you can afford the 290 ultra container bundle by spending under £70 over a period of 5 months - instead of blowing like £200 to get the bundle, which only the rich or Russians can do. I'm on my second Tankion pass. 2 more and i'll be able to get the 290 ultra bundle so i can finally get crisis and other cool augments. TOP TIP: DO NOT spend the Tankions from Tankion pass on Battle passes. Just be patient and save the Tankions till you have 20,000 and you'll get lots of OP augments anyway and a strong chance of getting crisis and armadillo (if you don't already have it). If you've read this far, I hope this tip has helped ? I believe it's the smartest and cheapest way of keeping up with Buyers and levelling the playing field, while spending wayyy less. Patience is the key.

Also, I'm just frustrated with the game now. I have 9999gs with AP/EMP Gauss, AP striker and a few other cool augments from battle passes I earned all those through containers fair and square. When i come up vs a BUYER with pulsar and crisis, or Helios and crisis or some other OP aug they kill you in seconds and it's just a joke. All I'm asking is for Tanki to un-nerf Ultra conts. It was literally our only chance of keeping up with p2w players but now it's impossible cos when we (f2p) players open ultras we earn from missions (like 15 every month) we never get the latest OP augs or crisis. This means the cont nerf indireclty affected F2P players, because all buyers need to do is buy the 290 ultra bundle and despite the ultra cont nerf, they're guaranteed the latest aug. That's why I'm pissed Tanki fund is doing so poorly; i was just PRAYING we could get to pulsar at least

Tanki fund is doing horribly!! I didn''t think we'd reach pulsar, armadillo or crisis but i thought it'd at least reach skin conts.... how wrong i was. It's moved like 1/4 of a level in the last two days. I think it's cos everyone doesn't wanna invest and we're all waiting it out to see how far it goes (me included). Tbh i'm just pissed at Tanki for using two of the reward levels on protection slots.... that's literally useless for quite a few players and we JUST had 4th slot in space minigame which lots of people got just by grinding missions.

@frederik123456 oh okay thank you ?

i clicked the link to the special site, logged in and all it says is 'welcome davis.3d'. I can't do anything else. Is that what's meant to happen??

Happy International Women's day to ALL women around the world - young or old. You're all very special and we literally wouldn't be here without you?❤❤ user: @davis.3d
