It is a 'cloaking device'.

 

There was a hint about it a few months back in 'what they would be testing'. The information only appeared in the russian forum and I stumbled across it by accident. Not sure how long it works for but invisible for 30 seconds perhaps, just time to sneak in and be visible again just as you've taken the enemy flag.

But that would be a big fail, as you can easily slip into the enemy side, and take the flag, and from there it is very easy to take it back to the base. Or one person could just take the flag, and have 5 invisible teammates, and take flag, when one dies.

If it is what they say, it better be very expensive.

Not if it has limited timing and you cannot shoot whilst cloaked. It will require skill to use it to best effect in any map. I tried to find the original source of my info but since they changed the forum, its not showing up anywhere. In the old tanki web interface, where it used to have the 'in progress' info, on the russian homepage, the literal translation was 'invisiblilty cloak'. And I followed that to a section on the forum which didnt really say much more but that they were closed testing it on the test server at the time to see its viability. If you think about it, the icon in question is a picture of a hooded (cloaked) head.

 

I would assume that when you are cloaked, so you can still see what you are doing, you would look the same as just before you fully respawn. Faded and visible to yourself but not visible to others for whatever the duration. Figuring out another piece of loosely related info I heard, as soon as you 'cloak' your other drugs would be disabled, so you wont be able to blindly lay mines for those following you or shoot/drug/or double up your armour/ or nitro off. Skill is really gonna be the factor in making the most out of it and I am looking forward to seeing what it can do for myself.

 

Spread the word!

I have come to the conclusion that it actually is a cloaking advice which makes u invisible, wanna know why because the actual icon looks like predator from alien vs predator and if anyone watched it and remembers the predators had the ability to turn invisible because of their cloaking devices

Preadators had a lot of other Abilities, and many super heros have the ability to go invisible.

Why exactly would they choose the predator sign for invisibilty purpose.

BTW predators also had the power to self destruct :P

I think it boosts the 'power' stat, allowing your tank to burst through other tanks and push them out of the way easily, hence the drug looking like a bull's head (or it does to me anyway). I guess this would be helpful in smaller maps, and for goldbox wars.

n2o already boosts power... o.o

Well, I think my clues is write at least 50% sure. Its must be drug that makes you invisible or launch smokes so you can escape from the enemy

Clue : There is a face.

 

If you agree like the post and if you don't agree comments please.

How about a granade you can lob over buildings ;-) ;-) ;-)  That could come in very useful when you're about to enter the enemy's nest.... GRANADE!... then give it 2 seconds after it hits the ground before exploding... will force everyone to run around like chickens with heads cut off. 

 

Likewise, it can act as a defence mechanism... you defending your flag and you see enemy approaching but can't get line of sight to them... lob granade over building and you bought yourself a few more seconds of defence.

50 NEW DRUG IDEAS!


 


I was bored and thinking ... a dangerous combination. Here's 50 new drug ideas I thought of, that could be very cool/funny and awesome to implement.....


 


1) Grenade you can throw over buildings


2) Smoke screen - blocks all visibility for ~10 to 15 seconds


3) Freezing bomb - you shoot it, everyone gets frozen for 1 or 2 seconds within X radius


4) Martyr - Self destruct by donating all your HP to your friends within X radius of where you self destruct.


5) Wings - Help you fly for 5-10 seconds after you jump off a ramp


6) Laser trip wire - if you cross it you lose 50% of your hit points. To destroy it, you need to shoot either left or right side of laser device.


7) Invisibility cloak - go invisible for ~10 seconds


8) X-ray vision, see all your enemies (& friends) through buildings/walls/mounts


9) Fast reload - speed up your weapon's reload speed by 50%


10) Fat Pipe - Widen the hit area of your weapon by 100%


11) Bubble Gum - drop bubble gum on the ground and slow down anyone's tank chasing you by 20%


12) Cover fire - Drop a plasma gun on the ground at stretegic location and have it shoot 15 shots in a row to a specific location (i.e. provide cover for yourself, or set it up as a defence mechanism to cover specific area)


13) Skating rink - Drop water on ground and freeze it... then watch your enemies zig-zag skate on it like drunken sailors. Especially fun to put around corners near cliffs... where people try to turn, but slide on the ice right off the cliff.


14) Karmic b itch - For every shot enemy shoots at your, they lose 50% of what they just shot at you.


15) Cement bags - Create a small wall to block off an entrance/exit, lasts 30 seconds or so.


16) Ghost - Walk through walls for up to 10 seconds


17) MkUltra - Turn your enemy into your friend. Cause them to switch teams for 30 seconds. They get extra hit points for killing their previous team mates,and you get one less enemy to deal with temporarily.


18) Group Shield Bubble - Throw a group shield bomb at certain area and any team mates within X radius get protected by the shield bubble so long as they are inside it. Only 50% of damage gets inside bubble for 15-30 seconds.


19) Offence Bubble - Any team mates inside bubble you created get 50% more fire power for 15-30 seconds.


20) Captain Hook - Throw a long chain at a specific destination (i.e. wall or enemy) with a hook. if it's a wall/mount you will get pulled torward it twice as fast as you could drive there. if it's an enemy, it will be dragged towards you at 120% of their hull speed capacity. Limited distance on hook throwing.  Could also be used to climb up walls/mounts/buildings.


21) Random Teleport - By using it, you will get teleported to a random location. Useful to exiting an extremely deadly situation, but who knows where the heck you'll end up! Teleporter doesn't work for the first 30 seconds of any game (prevent getting enemy flag faster), and if you are carrying the flag, you teleport but your flag remains behind.


22) Honey I shrank the tank - Shrink your tank by 50% in size. Enemies will have a very hard time shooting you with their rail guns and shafts; however, you will have half the power, defence and speed; however, you might now be able to squeeze through holes where no tank could go before


23) Blow Fish - Expand your tank size by 50% and get 5 seconds of extra defence... except now you're the biggest target on the entire map.


24) Twins - Split your tank in half (and your screen)... now you can control two tanks simultaneously - one with each hand on the keyboard... Only lasts for 30 seconds or until one of the two tanks die. Each tank will have 50% of your single tank's defence capability, but 100% of attack power. Can you multitask?? ;-)


25) LSD  trip - Throw a bag of LSD at your enemies and cause them to see the map warp and bend, fake walls appearing, cliffs appear, ghost enemies show up shooting (fake) plasma out of isidas or shafts etc...  and everything goes rainbow color and happy accordion  music plays an annoying jingle.


26) Hologram Defence - Creates 2 or 3 AI controlled holograms of fake team mates where you execute the hologram. They can shoot too, but will have zero damage.


27) Hall of Mirrors - Replicate yourself in triplicate.... which witch is which ? Only 1 is the real tank, the others move like you beside you with help of AI; however, only 1 can be shot at and cause damage when shooting.


28) Insta Bridge - Select two points within limited distance and activate a self-inflating bridge that anyone can drive over... but it will only last for 60 seconds or until somebody destroys it (300-600 HP required - the shorter the bridge the stronger, the longer the weaker).


29) HAARP - Create a Tornado above your enemy's camp area. Wherever it passes by enemies will lose 100 HP damage.


30) TESLA COIL - Setup a Tesla tower and watch it shoot lighting bolts in random directions causing up to 50HP damage each time.


31) Windblows - No it won't cause your computer to crash, it will however blow your enemies back several feet for a couple of seconds.


32) Stinky - Drop the 'bomb' and all tanks are forced around it. it's not nerve gas, but it is gas non the less ;-)


33) One way moving sidewalk - Create a moving sidewalk like those at airports so that any tank standing on it moves in one direction, any tank moving with the sidewalk can move much faster than before, anyone trying to drive over it in opposite direction gets slowed to mamoth speed. Great for turning bridges into one way advantages. Only lasts 90 seconds.


34) Rubber walls - Don't have Ricochet but want your team's shots to bounce around all the walls to increase probability of hitting enemy? or want to stay around a corner and snipe without being seen? Shoot liquid rubber bomb at a wall and turn it into a bouncing zone. Only lasts 90 seconds, and bounced ammo loses 25% distance for each time it hits a rubber wall.


35) Super Mario Star Power - Become invincible for 7 seconds, become super bright and increase speed by 30%... and make your enemies listen to super mario music!


36) Paint the town RED - Throw a red paint granade, and disable the paints of anyone who gets hit. Slowly the red paint will drip off and tank's official paints will be back in full effect.


37) Imagination Land  - Shoot this at a wall and watch it create a fake holodeck like extension to the map. Your enemies will think they are driving through it, but eventually (60 seconds) when it dissapears, they realize they've been trying to push against a wall for almost a minute. On the flip side, your team can't see the tanks driving in imagination land until it shuts down and they appear back where they started facing a wall.... unless you followed them into imagination land though.


38) Running Flag - Shoot a spirit ray at your own flag, and watch it grow legs and come to life to walk around randomly around your base. Your enemies will have to do a little extra running around your base to find your flag now. However, your static defence strategy will need some revision. Great trick for when you see enemy approaching your flag.


39) Shrubbery - So you like to garden eh? Plant extra trees or bushes at up to 3 select locations. Great for a bit of extra camo to camp from. Only lasts 2 mins though.


40) Drug Trade - Force an active drugs swap with your enemy or friend. Did  they get to the drug you wanted faster than you? No problem, force a drug trade on them... but you must have an active drug for it to work. This could be a cool trick to extend the drug life of one of your team members and yours, cuz after a drug trade, the new drug you and your friend or enemy just got starts from 0, time-wise.


41) Confuzzled - Shoot your enemy with this and watch all their controls swap. Left is right, foward is backwards... but the gun still works.  You can almost hear them cursing over your laughter. Lasts until the enemy tank dies... or commits suicide.


42) Flare - Shoot a flare straight up above you the color of your team (i.e. red or blue) into the air to signal you need help (i.e you have flag and are almost dead). Side effect of flare is that it also illuminates large area in dark maps, and makes it almost blindingly bright to your enemies if it's a day map.


43) Rainbow Shot - There won't be a pot of gold (aka. crystals) at the end of this rainbow gun, unless of course you just shot it at the gold box as it was dropping from the air... in that case the gold box will come sliding down the rainbow towards you at a fast speed (ideally before you get shot and die).  This can also be used to collect drugs that are far away and dropping from the air.


44) The Stacker - Touch your team mates while this drug is active, and they will get teleported on top of you. You will drive and control direction; however, they still control their own gun. Stack up to 5 friends. Only the top most player stacked can drive off if they choose (must try to move forward for 3 seconds before you can drive off)... so useful for getting a friend to climb to the top of a good camping spot... Also useful to overwhelm the enemy with lots of fire power from single location... or to shoot from above a wall they were not expecting.  Any enemy fire hitting your team's stack of tanks gets divided amongst all tanks so it won't be easy to kill the stacker. Some things are shared, like crystals collected, points for killing enemy, capturing flag etc...   Only the second tank from bottom can activate new drugs - all tanks in stack get the same drug, but how long it lasts is divided by all tanks in stack. Pro tip: Put fastest tank on bottom. Put shafts & railguns on top, so you can drop them off at camping areas.


45) The Crazy Crazy Ice-Cream Tank - Shoot your enemy with a vanilla cone and their tank turns into a crazy ice-cream truck. It will play those happy ice-cream truck melodies and drive around randomly for 10 seconds, completely out of control and unable to shoot at anyone. HP double though to prevent major damage. After 10 seconds are up, the crazy ice-cream truck turns back into your tank but with tripple the speed for 20 seconds! So you better hope it doesn't come back to "serve" you.


46) Mini-me's - Activate this drug, and you get 3 eggs that you can place on the ground. Each egg takes 3 seconds to hatch, but then a mini-you will be born (AI controlled) that will be 1/3 of your size with 1/3 of your firepower & defence. It will survive for 45 seconds.  Ideal for turning 2 defenders at a base camp into a total of 8 tanks (2 + 3 + 3).


47) The Nightmare - Shoot this in an area, and everyone entering that area will experience 300% darkness. Fog rolls in the ground, trees and shrubs will grab at you and slow you down, walls become extremely sticky and large pot holes appear. Haunting sounds are heard for up to 45 seconds.


48) The Anal probe - (feel free to rename it ;-). Aim this at an enemy, and a large UFO will be witnessed by all materializing out of thin air in the sky. A bright light beam will shine on your target and levitate the tank half way in the air while it remains paralyzed. The UFO carries you 25% across the map in random direction as 50% of its HP will be taken, then you get dropped to the ground like a used lab rat... the entire event lasts about 7 seconds.


49) Elastic Fantastic  - Shoot this at a group of enemies, and all enemy tanks will become attached via an elastic band. This forces them to all drive in the same direction. If they don't, they will push into the opposite direction and eventually snap back towards the other attached tanks. Last for 15 seconds of chaos.


 


PS. If any of these ideas are eventually used, please rain down some crystals my way :-D


 


PPS. Bonus drug: 50) The MATRIX - Shoot a Matrix bomb into your enemy camp and all their weapons get slowed 3-10 times... now you can see the bullets coming and dodge them... however you enemies can shoot twice as many bullets, so you'll be doing a LOT of dodging while they spray their base camp.
