I know exactly what you mean.

 

There was a Dictator M2 with Rail M1 on Blue Silence and he kept randomly drugging and charging.

 

The whole Red team used up their drugs trying to keep him out, but he must have had hundreds of each.

 

There probably isn't much anyone can really do.

First of all, I noticed that there are many kungurs NS, you just need to find them!
Also, drugs help you gain fastly exp, just save them up and than when you think it's worth using them just press 2 3 4 :)
At my rank finding a silence or whichever map without a drugger is impossibile, and if you want to takeover a battle you will surely need some power-ups! By the way drugs can be used also to make a high d/l or to heal yourself if you're doing parkour and you get accidentally hit by a friend..

edit: after 3 years of gameplay..

That's a lot of drugs you got there :)

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Well I just cleaned out my drugs 5 mins ago. Messed up a DM match Ping-Pong with the most common Drug-Bomb I could think of. Mammoth/Thunder.

Impressive :)

I always have them available. My use of them is in direct relation to the game my opponents play. If I can get away with not using them I will. No sense in having players bailout of a game because their being dominated.

[TANKkiller1000000 4]

holy crap hes got alot of drugs

[TANKkiller1000000 4]

oh ya....and once i saw people drugging at the moon silence and i was on blue team and all of

the red team was drugging except for 1 or 2. and like 1/4 of blue was drugging and they were

industructible i couldnt kill them bcuz they kept healing themselves so i think something should

be done quick

  هل هذا حقيقي ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

Is this real????????

[Asta_lavista_baby123 67]

Lol just save em i got over 200 of each and i didn't buy , just ignore the noobs who spam em , the can be easily killed with a mine.

[jonathanjoseph 71]

Mines are my favorite! I LOVE going into people as they respawn, setting a mine, and it BLOWING UP after I get away! IT'S SO FUN!

[FedericoBrit 126]

The thing that annoys me the most about drugs is the fact that I don't have them. And others do.

 

To me, drugs are the gateway for less skilled tankers to get an advantage over your average skilled tankers, making them above and beyond the competition. And more times than not, if you see a tanker that has consistently drugged throughout a match, they're probably a donator, because not even the frugal tankers would be willing to waste 30+ drugs in one single match.

 

Tanki's done a pretty good job I think in order to balance out the OPness of druggers with the sky drugs in the game which are accessible to all players as long as they can get them. The no supplies battles are a good idea too, but I'm not sure why you have to pay such obscene amount to enter those games.

I mostly use drugs for exp.  I save them up for a while then go nuts with them when I'm getting close to ranking up....

I have bought the drug pack before, what I can tell is that once you are happy with your tank not trying to save up you can keep buying drug packs with the battle funds you earn by using them.  It's very easy to win a few thousand crys in a DM to 400 kills.  It's also very easy to win them if you use a few packs of drugs.  If you use them wisely you can actually always have them and keep buying them with winnings.

Mines are underrated.

Placing Mines ->

 

It's all Fun and Games, until you Die.

[r_The-Player20 313]

I use drugs for exp mostly, and to cap flags, and to prove a point.

[Remaine 4,687]

Drugs are spammed and spammed when gold boxes drop 0.0

[jonathanjoseph 71]

Mines for me are the most fun thing! I only use them in two situations. 1. When I'm on top of someone, 2. When I'm in someone's body before their tank officially respawns. In those cases it's so much fun because they don't expect it and you blow them up!

[r_SwagBoy110 421]

How ow did you make that picture :o

I made it, for the newspaper. -_-

[Ilia.ArchangeI 6,785]

1. When I'm on top of someone

Didn't think of that, awesome.

 

I made it, for the newspaper. -_-

Cool, didn't know that. Found it on google :)

[Andrewhero100 65]

well everyday i waste around 40 drugs of each and buy

[A_Jl_E_H_T.00 615]

I think drugs should be allowed in any battle but only when "Gold box will be dropped soon" appears and til someone pick up a Gold

[jonathanjoseph 71]

^What? Then there will be no use of drugs....
