Gold Boxes that you're practically guaranteed to get

[sonofchrysalis3 3,719]

Gold hunting can be, and often is, a very frustrating way to spend your time.  Unless your name is WMI or O.U.F.A, the infamous Klondike Kube tends to be impossible to attain.  If you ever do spot it as it drifts to the ground, there's always some other tank in your way, and the two hours you spent waiting are lost.

 

But I, in my quest for the Crystal Quadrilateral, have recognized a few that I always seem to grab.

 

I'm not saying that this information will ensure you grab a Gold every time you play.  But if you play these maps and keep an eye on these drop zones, you have a better chance than you would stumbling aimlessly around like usual.

 

• The corner box at Brest.  This little-known Gold is arguably the easiest Gold to get in Tanki.  It drops in the  back left corner off the map, behind either one of the forts.  Most other tanks think it will drop on a bridge or in the valley, so they won't see it.

 

• The perimeter boxes in Iran.  Every tank on the field thinks the box will drop in the center, so you will have no trouble snatching one that drops outside the town, IF you can locate the drop zone.

 

• Between the buildings in Island.  You need to have a Mammoth hull for your best chance at grabbing this one.  Rather than hanging back and waiting like you do with normal Golds, get on the drop zone as soon as possible and have a repair kit ready.  Everyone will naturally try to shoot you and push you off the zone, but you're wedged in between the buildings like a cork in a bottle, so there's not much pushing that will keep you from this Gold.

 

• Any box in Madness.  Finding another tank is hard enough to do in this level.  Finding the Gold drop zone is a nightmare.  If you do happen to find it, and no one else is around, you pretty much have it in the bag.  Sit on the reticle and "play dead", making it look like you just spawned there so no one will suspect that you're hiding the drop zone under your tank.

 

• Overpass boxes in Highways.  Every tank seems to think he has to be a sniper if he's going to play here.  Since snipers tend to stay put, especially in team matches, you'll have little competition for this box, provided you're not a sniper yourself!  Position your tank next to the drop zone, perpendicular to the overpass.  Any tank that comes along will have to push you to get to the Gold, and they'll wind up pushing you right into it.

Very interesting thank you for the post! :)

There's already a similar topic created by another user. These tips could help update the zones though ;)

@SpHryfBoss, I believe that this topic has quite a different purpose than that one.

Goood ! ;)

[Truthteller 4,204]

Good!

I get many holds with Wasp & Rail in Island  B)  Not going to be slow for 2 hours for just 1k, you can still get it if you got skills ^_^

Titan has more pushing power, only twice has a mammoth beaten me to gold in island, the rest my titan took

If your doing 1 vs 1 on this map, mammoth is not what you want. Almost any hull can push a mammoth... Titan is much better for this. I have it m2, and the only thing that can push me around, is a titan m3 XD or dictator m3, but I dont play with gizzmos so thats not a problem

@NatchGa

 

1) If you're playing Mammoth 1 vs 1, you obviously are not gold hunting.  1 vs 1 battles almost never have Gold drops.  I'm not saying that they don't EVER have Golds drop, but they will be extremely rare as the battle fund will never be very high.

 

2) Yes, Mammoth can be pushed.  Any hull can be pushed, provided you don't push back.  Mammoth is immoveable unless you just sit there.

 

3) 1 vs 1 fights are lots of fun though.  I've only been beaten once in Duel, and that was by my best friend Fluttershy.  She's as sweet as can be outside of Tanki, but give her a railgun and your game is over, pal. ^_^

Really?  please be quiet.  This topic is insanely different, maybe you couldn't be bothered to read it.

 

 

OP, Excellent post!

[EuzLo 491]

I love your articles!  :wub: Please carry on with these amazing articles! :D

This was SO helpful!  :) I wish there was some tips for Highland, though.  :(

[sonofchrysalis3 3,719]

In my opinion, none of the Golds in Highland are practically guaranteed.  Maybe other tankers have no trouble with certain of them, but neither I nor anytanki else I've seen can consistently grab any of them without competition.

I had got my first Gold box at the corner of Brest.

It's been a while since I wrote this topic, and I still haven't found an easier Gold to get than the corner box. When the siren sounds at Brest, that's the first place I look.

Niceeeee!! 

 

But... WMI catches more gold than O.U.F.A and plus his vids contain about 20 golds? :/ and he barely uploads so he gets 20 golds in a month or 2 so TBH I don't have to be like him and I would rather be like WMI, just my opinion.
