drugs are part of the game but the chat is part of the game to, right? so if its a death match, tell everyone to team on them   ^_^

Greetings and salutations:

 

By now, many of you have seen my topic, A Study on Druggers (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=209709). That was a little post I wrote about druggers and why they are annoying. However, the thread quickly turned into a rant thread. This topic hopefully will serve a purpose: to inform you, the good users of Tanki Online, CALMLY AND RESPECTFULLY, how to combat this menace. Please dont turn this into a rant thread! ill try too. I got into yoga, so im calm.

The Drugger: Any tanker who has used all powerups at once in-game. There are several tiers, see them in my original thread. They can do serious damage, and ruin a battle in your enemy's favor if not destroyed. The question is: how to kill them. In my experience (which might not be saying much), I have seen several methods, which are written down here.

 

 

METHOD 1: DEEP FREEZE:

The Freeze gun is absolutely PERFECT for facing druggers...why? Even on full drugs, the freeze gun, well, freezes them, slowing the tank down considerably and allowing other teammates to finish them off.

 

 

 

METHOD 2: PERSUE AND OVERTAKE: This requires teamwork. IF the entire team can surround the drugger and fire away, the drugger will be overwhelmed and be destroyed. For example, say you are on blue team in silence and a drugger is coming. Once he goes up the ramp and into your base

Have a couple teammates swing in around him while another few force the drugger to the wall and pin him down while spamming the fire button.

 

METHOD 3: A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE: Well, if you must, and if you think you can beat them drugged up, go for it. Turn it into a good old fashioned slobberknocker grudgematch. Whoever has better equipment and skill (and sometimes luck) will emerge victorious. This might have a chain reaction and turn the battle into a drug war. Ugh.

 

METHOD 4: MAKE LIKE A TREE AND LEAF (Haha): If you cant survive, even on drugs, flee. Regroup with friends and try to use method 2. Why get steamrolled over and over? The drugger probably wont chase you and waste precious seconds on their drugs.

Well that about does it. Tanks for reading (get it? GET IT?) and have a lovely day.

 

 

-Cheers!

Usually what i do is i use m1 firebird and m1 wasp to do circles around them! if they are using railgun it works perfectly! Freeze is also good for this, (but i use Firebird for burning damage because just my burning damage alone kills them)

Also, for maximum lulz, get on top of the frozen drugger and drop a mine under him :)
