Save the Gold - A Tanki Trend

[I3.R.0 1,700]

 

Thanks to @I3est for dropping the gold box.

 

 

HELLO LADIES AND LADAAS, today, I'm going to discuss a Tanki trend, which many people love.

 

You must've understood by seeing the picture above. I'm talking about "Save the Gold" commonly known as "STG".

 

This trend in TO has become very very very popular in the minds of tankers after the release of the "Gold Box Supply" Update. Info about this update can be found in V-Log 99. It was kind of a lottery for buyers. Just go to the Shop, get your CC, fill in the details and get your supply, go in the battle and press "6". That's it for starting an STG event. Now, some important news; before doing an STG, follow this link for current STG rules here.

 

Save the Gold should be done on a map where it is difficult to take the gold. I'd suggested maps - Arena, Boombox, Edinburgh, Noise or Silence.

It can be done for any number of players , 4-6 preferably. 

 

 

Now, let's talk about various aspects of this trend.

 

Let's start with...

 

Creating an STG:

 

First, select a good server which is less crowded and then, create a battle. Then, click on "PRO BATTLE". The screenshot below would be an ideal setup for an STG.

The Green tick indicates "Very Important to be enabled" and the Red Cross indicates "Very Important to be disabled or not to be used". After you get in the battle, please decide whether you have a dropper for dropping the gold box or you're gonna follow the traditional method of a "Firebird Wasp" battle until the gold box drops. I repeat, in this type of format, you should follow the new STG rules strictly or it can lead to a temporary block, as the Battle Mods evaluate the map. 

 

 

 

Defending the gold box:

 

Some assorted tips:

 

• No Light Hulls should be used. Viking is recommended minimum.
• It is recommended to have at least one guy in the defending team who can lag into the gold box, commonly known as "Gold Box Glitch". It is the responsibility of that guy to mine in the vicinity of the gold box drop zone. It is suggested for the non-glitched players to stay away from the gold so as to prevent from being taken. 
  About Gold Box Glitch: For performing this task, you need to have a WiFi Router first. Then, go close to the Gold Box. Now, remove the Ethernet Cable from your router (For identifying, it has a specific colour, while other wires are always black). After removing, you'll lose connection. Now, quickly go inside the gold. After you go in, connect the Cable back. Done, you are inside gold safely. Please Note, this process has to be done within 7-10 seconds. If you are late, you lag out. If you do it too early, you take the gold and all start hating you <3
• Don't mine one mine over other. Try having some kind of gap between 2 mines or else, if the attacker uses Repair, all mines will be gone in a row. For every mine to have its own impact, plant mines with a specific distance, as shown in the below picture. [Note: In the pic below, mining isn't complete, so it might look incomplete. Apologies :P ]
• The next step is to position the defenders at fixed spot. It is advised to have a variety of turrets, among the defenders or they'll become predictable and easy for attackers to have a similar protection module.
• It's also advised to have at least 1 Isida in a team, and it becomes a must if someone is defending with Vulcan, as it needs healing from time to time.
• After the Mining is completed, the defenders can position themselves at their fixed spots and say "GO" in the chat so as to start the STG. It is strongly advised to have defenders at entrances so as to avoid detonation of mines too quickly.
• As the attackers come kill them and flip them with no mercy. You must be as efficient as you can.
• You have to do anything but Save the Gold. After the entrance mines are blasted, cover the gold box with from all 4 sides. We know that the gold is going to be taken, but it's the responsibility of a defender to do his best to save the gold.

 

PC:

 

 

 

 

Let's move on to attacking now.

 

Attacking to Steal the Gold Box:

 

• Actually, there is no restriction on equipment while attacking. But, I'd suggest restricting the use of turrets Railgun, Shaft, and Vulcan. Also, I'd prefer only to allow Wasp and Hornet as hulls. The main reason is that if we allow only light hulls for attacking, it would become very hard for stealing the gold. Imagine if we allow Mammoths while attacking. If the Mammoth is M4, it'd blast 15-20 mines if a Repair and Double armor are in use. The title won't remain "Steal the gold". Hence, it's wise to use only Light Hulls. Railgun, Shaft, and Vulcan should be disabled because these turrets can start camping and killing defenders.
• I'd also like to disable Double Damage. Or else it would become a battle instead of a steal. Simple. {PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE MY VIEWS AND ONLY SOME PEOPLE FOLLOW IT. DON'T SPAM THE TOPIC SAYING "WE DO STG WITH DD AND HEAVY HULLS" }.
• For me, the best equipment for attacking would be Wasp-Hammer, Wasp-Smoky, Hornet-Hammer or Hornet-Smoky. Recoil, impact force, and good speed. What more you want for attacking? Flipping, dancing, and flying over mines all becomes possible through these combos.
• Use the Spider Module which provides 35% protection from mines. Please do it. The spider module assures you to protect your tank from 2 mines with Double armor.

• Now, after the "Go" Command, begin the attack. Start blasting the mines on the entrances. Use both "Double Armor" and "Double Speed" as you attack. To blast a lot of mines together, try this trick. As you go near the mines, make sure that some defender damages you by 10% or less, but at least 1%. Now, as you reach near mines, press 1 and activate a Repair. Now, for 2 seconds, you're immortal, as you are using a Double armor and you can't blast by a mine. Just go over mines, and you will destroy after blasting at least 6 to 7 mines. See the below picture for reference. 

 

• Now, move on towards the gold. Relax. Be patient. You'll take time for reaching near the gold. You are covered by "n" number of defenders and it's not gonna be easy. Assess the conditions well. Don't follow the same route. Try different routes to reach the gold. Look out for routes where there is a space for moving. Find a gap between 2 defenders and sneak through. For this drop zone, refer the screenshot below for the routes from your spawn zone.

 

• Now, as you get closer to the gold, try to sneak it as quickly and quietly as possible. After the entrance mines are destroyed, try to go in pairs, i.e. go with your teammate to distract defenders. Try to go behind your teammate. As he distracts the defenders, quickly try to sneak in and get the gold box out of the glitcher.
• A picture of a gold box being taken in the STG is shown below.

 

Congratz to @Anku4 for taking the gold box.

 

 

Official "SAVE THE GOLD" Event:

 

 

All credits for the start of this official event, go to the administrator, organizers and helpers of the Community Events. This concept was added to the ongoing events in the community.

These events have their own rules too. 

You can use only Wasp, Hornet and Hunter Hulls.

While, you can use all turrets except Railgun, Striker and Shaft. 

You can destroy the Officials (after "GO" command by Spectator)

You must wear White paint and ZERO protection Module.

You have to follow the GENERAL EVENT RULES, during this event.

More details about this event can be found here.

 

 

Conclusion: I think "Save the Gold" is an event which is really entertaining. Players like me, tend to do these events on a regular basis. It's because we really have fun during we defend the gold and also, while we try to steal them from the Defenders. This requires real skill, experience and practice. You can't just master this event easily.

That's it for now, guys, I hope you liked my guide on Save the Gold.

Please leave a like and do comment your feedback, your STG experiences, I would love to read them :) 

 

Okay Readers, it's time for me to wave you a goodbye. I've worked hard on this topic, so I do think I deserve a like. :) Have a nice time playing in STG's. Don't violate the Rules, catch gold boxes and have fun! See you right there on the battlefield!!! ;) Cheers! ;)

Do you have a tip also on how you create a "Gold Box Glitch".

Do you have a tip also on how you create a "Gold Box Glitch".

In today's tanki, almost everyone knows it. It's kinda common.

It's easy.

First condition is that you need to have a WiFi Router.

Now, check the router. You have at least 3 wires. 1 is a double wire..which connects you to the switch box. Kinda you call it the power wire. 

The second wire is the Internet wire. It is the wire given by your ISP. It connects you to the internet.

The third wire is the Wire which connects your wifi, to the computer (NOT LAPTOP OR MAC). When you wish to glitch, go near the gold box, remove the third wire..It should be a colour wire..(The other 2 wires are black). Remove it. Wait for 2 seconds while your internet connection is lost. (ONLY 2 seconds). Now, go inside the gold box. Again wait 3 seconds. Now, after 3 seconds, connect your colour wire again. You're done. You're connected again and you've lagged in to the gold box.  

 

Please don't be in a hurry or don't be too lazy.

If you do it too quickly, then you'll take the gold box and if you are too late, you'll lag out of the battle. Good Luck.

 

 

PS: I'm sorry I can't explain you properly because I'm not good at electronics. I am telling you because it's my job and I'm telling you on the basis of what I see in my router. Chill, I know there are at least 3 wires in a Router. I'm not so dumb. :)

By the way, if you are still not clear, go through youtube videos where they explain you how to perform glitch or how to lag in to the gold box.

Check this Q&A session of that_one_michael. Go through the frame of 30:55 and 32:11 where he explains shortly how to lag in to the gold box.

 

And yes, if you're trying this for first time, I suggest you to try this on Any supply box, which is not a gold box.

What do you mean?

It's not savage. It's his job to do that. He is the helper of the project and he's supposed to make out all the mistakes in the articles and re edit them.

It takes holy 10 minutes to read out the whole article and 10 minutes are not free. I can have lunch in that whole time. So, respect him. Do you think these reporters don't have any other task other than checking our articles?

Happens when you are attacking, it's common. Nothing to worry about, concentrate on taking the gold while you attack, not on your KD

Actually there are other ways you can use too: You can have a cable plugged in the PC (that way it's even faster), but make sure to disable Wi-Fi on your PC, if you are using it along side with the cable connection.
