I am waiting for Gauss alteration that removes 5% of your Gauss protection with every sniper hit and converts it to 5% protection against your turret

Nah, the next Gauss alteration should steal thousands of $$ from your life insurance with every sniper shot.  Devs will no doubt approve of this.

Do any Gauss users actually care about the splash damage on the arcade shot?  I know I don't.  This alteration is ridiculous.

The alteration is a bit like an overdrive, but a bit useless

Hey you got something interesting here, probably the next battle mode: avoid the virus...

----

I can see that this new Alteration for Gauss can make start a whole big family of new type alteration for existing Turrets:

- Smoky critical hit will remove your buff. 

- Second shooting mode of Striker, Magnum and Shaft could also be in scope for this.

A big can of worms infinite possibilities just opened up...

Oh, yes!

I imagined how this battle mode look like:

- a random point, called the virus appears on the map

-who go near the virus will also become a virus

-also, random toalet papers will appear on the map

-the player who collected the most toalet papers and not infected by the virus, wins .

Edits:

- Changed Gauss damage reduction from 20% to 50% after finding out in test server

[coconuttree 519]

 

If you are in the splash radius, it removes your supplies too. This can potentially be exploited with booster drone. After the extra power of the booster drone is over after 3 seconds, aim at someone and drive close enough to them to be in the splash radius. Your dd will be removed with a 5 second cool down. Then you can activate dd again and get three more seconds of booster drone.

For Gauss new alteration name Healex

Gauss

Arcade

150 Hp per shot hitting ally + Splash heal (No heal fall over distance for splash heal)

Damage reduced by 20%

Scope

300 Hp per shot hitting ally + Splash heal (No heal fall over distance for splash heal)

Damage reduced by 20%

lol i made  a new healing alteration set for all turrets check out here

 

It wouldn't be a bad idea, but isida is the weakest turret in the game, and this takes away its weak, but unique feature: healing, so i don't think it should be relased.

sniper gauss shot de-buffs every enemy in it's splash area for only 5 seconds. Earlier i thought it de-buffs them for 30 seconds full.

Not sure what this means.

Let's say a target just used DA from garage.  Would have a cooldown of 30 seconds.  Shortly after de-buffed by a Gaus Alteration.  When can target use another DA?

That 5 seconds only applies if they are not currently in a cooldown?  If so - that's a huge dfference.

In the test server, even the 30 second cool down after using a supply was reset to 5 second cool down. This might be a mistake though.

Maybe they can increase healing from base isida like 

Mk1

Damage

500 Hp * 6.25 sec  =  3125

Heal

175 Hp * 12.5 sec  =  2187.5

Range

5 Meters

Mk8

Damage

1000 Hp * 6.25 sec  =  6250

Heal

350 Hp * 12.5 sec  =  4375

Range 

20 Meters

Support nanobot

Increase Healing 75%

Decrease Damage 35%

Increase Range 25%

Damage

325 Hp * 6.25 sec  =  2031.25

Heal

306.25 Hp * 12.5 sec  =  3828.125

Range

18.75 Meters

Mk8

Damage

650 Hp * 6.25 sec  =  4062.5

Heal

612.5 Hp * 12.5 sec  =  7656.25

Range 

25 Meters

 

They should higly buff isida

The only way this alt would be not op is if they made it deal 0 dmg. That way you sacrifice your damage for de-activating supplies. Still...too op

For the Gauss' team yes.  What's in it though for the Gauss with 0 damage?  Resorting to arcade?  not great...

I think the whole concept should be scrapped...

Why would you buy/and equip that?  For purely a team concept - yeah - might help your team do better. 

But if you have any goals to accomplish (or stars to acquire) I see that as a setback.  Stock would be way better.  Especially if the cooldown is 5 seconds.

i said balance thats what it got you get something and lose other to balance

yes yes the problem with the support role in this game is no xp for supporting

what if i say on removing every power up Gauss get 5 xp per power up removed

this will balance right it gain support xp that this game lacks

Simple example person healing a flag carrier or ball taker get no extra xp while he get boosted by 80 xp with the help of support

the problem is the game dont have a good xp model for anything except attacker

 

Change "xp" to "score" and we might have agreement.

Well, without surprise TO is carry on with this Alteration idea: Take your Gauss to the next level 
I can see why now, it is to sale (more) bundles.

the #1 post is a total lie. I was in a live server PRO-Battle, the supershot still has splash, and barely any weaker than the OG. Tanki Online clearly paywalled this and honestly, who is actually that effed in the head to buy an alt and a shot color for about 50 USD?? REMOVE GAUSS ALT

They meant to say that the quick fire mode doesn't have splash. I agree it is not super clear, and we apologize.

Regular shot = arcade shot. Supershot = sniper shot. Do you not know that?

All is forgiven just as long as it is left the way it is.

the description is misleading...

"Replaces the standard explosive projectile with an EMP projectile that deactivates any active supplies of enemy tanks"

What is the 'standard explosive shell'?  The Snipe?  or the arcade?  Cuz only the snipe gets EMP, but it's the arcade that loses the spalsh...

[yellowghetto 3,206]

ok I want to reword what I said, after seeing tests in actually live MM battle, it is CRAZY OP. The supercharge shot decrease of 30% is complete BS, there are LOTS of druggers at ALL ranked gameplay. Disabling supplies and setting them into cooldown is outrageous considering the fact TO actually made the supershot reload faster. This is not at all an alteration, and an indirect nerf to Hunter, and a downright buff to Gauss, if it wasn't OP already. Gauss Mk8 now has a DPM of about 20000 which is insane! This needs an immediate nerf, maybe a 1.5x times as long for the charged shot! Tanki is clearly falling apart.
