Tanki Online’s 11th birthday

If you already own the Lifeguard drone, you will keep your current one with its micro upgrades. That means that your drones is not replaced.

This has the largest value so far from the presents. It would have been fair to give something else (like crystals) to those of us who already has it.

Thanks anyway for free lifeguard drone, but i have already fully upgraded, if press to claim, i hope as not must to have this lifeguard at 0/02, no ? I don't want to lose again crystals for upgrades ... I am waiting for a confirmation.

Can confirm - the upgraded one stays unchanged and you don't gain or lose anything.

You need lots of extra RKs n batteries too for this drone.

Yeah, I have been accumulating countless amounts of mines since I was a Recruit player. The reason for that is because it takes so long for cooldowns of mines to go down so mine consumption is very low. In other words, I cannot get rid of mines so I have so many of them which keeps on accumulating. I wish that I could convert all my mines to other supplies because I need supplies, not mines. I also had mines in containers as well, which kind of sucks.

Well i have solution for you regarding your excess of mines. Buy and use the Saboteur drone.

After placing a mine will also place several additional mines around the spot.

 Recharge: 40s
 Number of mines: (3 → 8)
 Mine activation duration: (2 → 0.5) s
Mines consumed: 4

If you use the Dictator, you can place even more mines and quicker with the OD. iN no time you will have reduced your mines and increase you Kill count.

A Drone.  I sure wasn't expecting that as a B-Day gift.  It is kind of like when your rich aunt gives you a Hummel Figurine...you know its bloody expensive and has great value to some people, but what the hell are you going to do with it?

This Lifeguard drone seems like it munches through batteries like all drones, but also chomps up 3 repair kits...each time you die!  Yikes!  You could go through more than 36 Repair Kits in one battle.  Yikes!

Condolences to all the players that bought a Lifeguard drone previously...very frustrating.  Too bad we can't sell or trade equipment...I'd hock my Lifeguard for...well, really just about anything

No one wants mine, I hope they DONT GIVE mines at all! I have 2k Mines, so i DONT really need Mines, I hope to get something good like 11 golds/11 Ultra Containers/11 Coinboxes/1 Paint maybe? I just used 900 Mines in 5 yrs, so i dont really need mines

I made a bet with myself that today would be 11 gold boxes and tomorrow would be 11 days of Premium.  I was very wrong about today and was totally surprised by the drone gift.  I think the 11 golds would be nice and welcomed tomorrow, but I sure hope the 11 days of Premium is the winning ticket instead.  I would be shocked if Tanki did the 111 mines at this point after having been very generous overall so far.

So..com'on Premium, yeah boi...

Don't do this man... The game will only get harder from there... You should take it slow. Complete daily missions and earn a few stars and then stop playing for the day. If you rank up too fast you will need better equipment to compete with others. Be a no lifer at your own risk.

i have 700k gathered so i think ill be ok but (THIS GRIND WILL DRIVE ME INSANE BUT ILL GIVE AWAY EVEN MY SLEEP TO GET TO BRIGADIER OR COLONEL)

thanks for warning me though

I already have the Lifeguard drone. That's good for players which does not have this drone, but not for me. Why do I have to earn a drone which I already have? That does not make sense.

it's 2nd time they offer a free drone to low rank players

1st blaster if you used wasp bomb 300 times

now lifeguard 

i am not worried as it's MU in first lvl low and also gets time to reload and consumes 3 repair kits (mechanic is better than lifeguard)

[Mirza7 235]

Lifegaurd is good drone but Not very useful for me, I can't use 100 batteries every day. they are too expensive. I guess tanki encouraging drugging culture so that players start buying supps from low ranks.

[Joeguy 941]

It seems to me that Lifeguard is almost like an automatic repair kit that uses batteries all the time and 3 rep kits when repairing,  I've never used Lifeguard so i don't really know, but it sure seems to me that I could do better just spamming repair kits...and probably even use less repair kits! 

There are times when you are just gonna die and even an instant auto-repair is only gonna keep you alive for a micro-second longer anyway so, might just being liberal with repair kit usage be as effective or at least almost as effective as Lifeguard?  I'd be interested to hear what some pro-droners think. (Please don't move this to "Let's Talk about Drones")

[N3tralRE 73]

@Joeguy I've had Lifeguard since the New Year's 2019 event, before it costed 3 Repair Kits to activate.  So the Lifeguard gift was worthless to me.

While I don't really use or MU Lifeguard these days, I will say that it's more like an instant second life option to bail you out of impending doom (i.e. being slaughtered by a Berserk Magnum).  As such, Lifeguard's good for Gold Box hunting as well as surviving KO blows if you can't activate Repair Kit in time.  It is also worth mentioning that Lifeguard's the only defensive option that Hornet's Radar can't negate.  So compared to other players, a fully MU'd Lifeguard player will be a tougher opponent for a single raging Radar Hornet to fight face to face.

Anyways, since Lifeguard only unlocks at Major General, the gift is more suited for those players ranked Brigadier or lower, giving such players a taste of Lifeguard's potential as they climb the ranks.  Still, unless you plan on having a big surplus of repair kits on hand, I wouldn't main Lifeguard.

[mixalis98 31]

Thanks for the Drone but what if we already have it fully upgrade? Not fair at all.

If we suppose that the Drone is the biggest gift we will get for the 11th birthday of Tanki it's not fair for a lot of players not to receive anything at all.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah, I like Jim Carrey only in this movie because he is the Riddler and his is so funny in this film.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I already own the Saboteur drone and Dictator so I am always prepared to slaughter my enemies with tonnes on mines. Very useful for special missions that involves using mines as a death trap.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I really wonder on what's tomorrow's free gift surprise! I hope that its either 11 ultra containers or 11 days of premium. There are two more days to go so I suspect that the following gifts will be available.

June 13th 2020 - 11 Ultra containers.

June 14th 2020 - 11 Days of Premium
