Just hoping that this new Gauss alteration is only available in the highest ranks.

When this alternate shot hits, does it remove the target's buff and then cause the extra damage or does it do it's regular damage and remove the buff after?

The Gauss alteration will not likely cause any "extra" damage.  I would guess less damage, or maybe no splash damage.

There is not enough details yet. But the principle of the alt is that if you gain something you have to give up something else to compensate, so one would assume that splash damage removed or less damage given, or more time to lock or to recharge, who knows. But the turret has to do some damage otherwise it is not a turret anymore, unless that they use the fact that Gauss has 2 shooting modes, so maybe it will be only applicable for one mode. Let say for example that the arcade mode remain the same and only the lock mode would remove the enemy's buff. Is it in the mind of the developer to use one shot mode to weaken the enemy by removing buff and then kill it with ease with the other mode. Gonna make Gauss more versatile and deadlier.

Is it only the tank that got the direct hit that would be affected or any tank in the splash damage zone? 
More questions that answer I am afraid.

Still I think it should be a mechanic for a drone or an OD.

This would HAVE to be the case.  Removing buffs with the arcade shot would ruin the game even more.

[mrvomit 106]

it is clearly written charge shot .useless to take out juggy( which is personally what i use most ), it will mess a lot in other modes though , or as  a defensive line in a heavy hull .
Rest of uses will see

The alteration “suggestion“ came from Hazel himself. 
Just in time for another bundle.

The great hazel himself who needs 15 forum pages to see that the camera is not working... no doubt, that Gauss alteration is here to stay.

This gauss alteration seems.... VERY OP

I hope it will come oit with a big gauss nerf! Or maybe it is only an april fools trick.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I hope the alteration is a quadrillion crystals and is only available at legend rank, otherwise RIP game.

Let's wait it out and see what happens. Maybe it'll be less useful Stock Gauss, maybe it won't. We'd have to see it from both sides before it comes, especially since no downside was explicitly stated.

I bet this will just be an upgrade to stock Gauss. Unless if the downside is that min, average, and max damage is nerfed by 40% when sniping.

We'll have to see. 

[TaffyTank 1,890]

Doesn't make sense to have this Gauss alt in a bundle for buyers only. Tanki Devs love to increase supplies consumption. Making it available for everyone increases the chances we get hit by a gauss with this alt, lose our supplies and use another drug immediately (or when we respawn)

But if it is in “exclusive”shop bundle and it's even remotely OP...Not a good idea.

Tanki be like: "Best I can do is 20%"

The Gauss alteration is in the test server now. Towns gave some feedback here New Gauss Alteration: EMP Rounds

But... if the only way to get it is to BUY a bundle - they probably will sell a LOT of those bundles.  CHA-CHING!  $$

Yeah, I can totally see this bundle idea becoming the future motive for all new alterations and other items that will be released in the future. First the vulcan alt and now the gauss alt, the next one is only a matter of time. Don't forget them making it OP so people have an even bigger incentive to buy it, and then nerf it soon after.

This part would be AWESOME.   With the nerf, make the EMP only work if shot travels less than 50m.

Another new Juggernaut mode?

After solo JGR, Team JGR, ...? 

With a different turret? OR the team with all the same turret? Or in a cp/siege mode?
