Tesla in the Garage and new augments

Hello, tankers!

 

We know you’ve been waiting for this moment for a while!

 

With the server restart on August 6th at 02:00 UTC, the new high-technology «Tesla» turret will be available to purchase for crystals. 

 

You can find more about the turret in this announcement.


We will also be adding new augments for Tesla with this update.

 

Three of them will be available in the Garage for crystals:

  • Minus-Field — adds a ricochet feature for ball lightning

  • Acceleration Protocol — increases the speed of ball lightning

  • Dilatory Protocol — decreases the speed of ball lightning

 

The 4th «Electroturret» augment can only be obtained from Ultra Containers. This augment gives Tesla a level of unparalleled versatility. Ball lightning leaves your barrel as fast as a shot, traversing long distances and causing your opponents a lot of trouble. However, the ball flies so fast that it's almost impossible to use it for chain lightning.

 

Don’t forget to get the incomparable XT skin for Tesla, which can also be found in these Ultra Containers.

 

Tesla provides new opportunities for defeating opponents on the battlefield. You should definitely give it a try!

I mean, every one with even slightly common sense will know Tesla is currently OP. If it is released like that with zero changes, soon we will see army of Tesla polluting this game. Just like how Hornet and HI + IB Vulcan used to do.

If that's the case, I would rather want it to never get released, at least people can play the game (relatively) normally without it.

It's cool that Tesla is finally here :) What I am most pleased about, is that we are finally getting new Garage augments - it is cool that we have new augments that are not just Ultra Container only. This will give something for all players to work towards. Gauss could also do with some new Garage augments, it boring that all it has is Adrenaline.

I am also glad Firebird and Freeze got a buff last week, so that they are not now made useless with the release of Tesla.

Excited to try it out at last.

I guess that Firebird needs a little buff to its afterburn effect. Other than that, Firebird can be strong enough to deal enough heat damage to Tesla enemies. Freeze can now compete with that as well with its shock freeze effect that can take Tesla enemies by surprise.

Yeah, they over-buffed it. Now it is as OP as Tesla. They were useless only when compared against Tesla, since Tesla is OP in the first place. I agree FIrebird and Freeze were a bit too weak previously. But that update buffed them way too much. You can literally murder a guy within 1 second using Firebird and Freeze with booster drone and remember, I have BOTH Crisis and Armadillo, all fully upgraded. If that is not enough to save you, what can?

Yes, Nicola Tesla will remember that epic moment.

It's not Nicola, he's Nikola. Please don't forget that.

Firebird and Freeze are not too strong. I use them currently and they are much better now. Before, they were too weak and not deal enough damage.

Let's focus on the main point of this topic, Tesla. 

You can use one of the following topics to discuss about Firebird or Freeze;

Well I think tesla needs a buff. I'm not sure if all these augs are enough to give it a chance in battle, still the children seem to be pleased that it is finally being released in the garage.

@Warpriest its powerful but thats also because no one has protections for it. There are other guns that kill in a third of the time.

Turrets are supposed to be balanced without modules come into play. Remember, Tesla is a turret that are capable of

  1. Dealing damage to multiple enemies without damage fall off
  2. Dealing damage without line of sight
  3. With short to mid range capability while dealing melee-turret grade damage

When you said there are turrets that can kill in a third of the time of that of Tesla. I'm eager to know about that. I know Isida has higher DPS, but it doesn't have all the benefits I mentioned previously and it only has slightly more damage.
