Fanon:Tank Builder

This page is owned by FiveDots and should not be edited by others.

The Tank Builder is a user interface that allows players to create their own custom tanks for use in A* Tanks, A* TD-2 (coming soon), and A* TD-4 (coming soon). Players will be given 250 points which they will spend on adding upgrades and adding status points to their tanks. Features include all features that can be found on the tanks currently in diep.io.

Step 1: Add offensive upgrades
The first step is to add upgrades to your tank that you will use to attack others. This includes bullets of any type, drones, smashing abilities, traps, and the ability to become invisible when you are not moving.

Tanks that fire in all directions
Players who want a tank that fires in all directions should buy the 'Single Turret' (costs 20 points) upgrade multiple times. This inherits the turret from the Tank. Buying this upgrade multiple times will automatically distribute the turrets evenly around the outside of your tank, making your tank fire in many directions. Alternately, a player who wants to fire in less directions but with more powerful bullets can buy the 'Power Turret' (costs 40 points) upgrade a few times. Each power turret will fire a bullet that deals more damage and has better penetration than a standard bullet.

Fast tanks
Players who want fast tanks like the Tri-Angle and the Booster can use the 'Booster Turrets' (costs 80 points) upgrade. This upgrade will add 2 turrets at the back of your tank that will fire low power bullets at high speed, designed specifically to propel your tank forward. Buying this upgrade a second time will add 2 more turrets to the back of your tank, which will also propel your tank, making you go even faster. Players should also buy upgrades that produce higher power bullets or other upgrades that can damage things more, as that the booster turrets are ineffective at killing things.

Snipers
There are 3 types of turrets that player can buy if they want to be like the Sniper and similar tanks. The 'Sniper Turret' (costs 75 points) upgrade fires bullets with high damage, penetration, and speed, but at the cost of a reduced reload speed. The 'Assassin Turret' (costs 125 points) upgrade further decreases reload but has a further increase in bullet damage, speed, and penetration. The 'Ranger Turret' (costs 175 points) upgrade fires the fastest bullets with the most penetration, and deals more damage than most bullets. However, reload speed is very low, and you need to wait at least half a second between bullets. The 'DuoTurret' (costs 125 points) upgrade is the double turret found in the Hunter and Predator and the 'TrioTurret" (costs 175 points) upgrade is the triple turret found in the X Hunter.

Tanks with focused fire
The 'Double Turret' (costs 60 points) upgrade is the equivalent of 2 Single Turrets placed next to each other, alternating fire between each other. Buying this upgrade multiple times will simply place more pairs of turrets around your tank, so using this upgrade you can send out focused fire in many directions. The 'Triple Turret' (costs 120 points) puts 3 turrets at the front of you tank facing in the same direction, creating an even more focused stream of fire. It is not advisable to buy more than one of this as that you will not have many points left to add status points to your tank, meaning that your bullets may be rather ineffective. A set of 4 small turrets can be bought for 160 points, giving you the abilities of the Gunner.

Players who want a more spread out range of fire can buy the '3 spread' (costs 120 points) or the '5 spread' (costs 170 points) upgrades. These upgrades will add Single Turrets to the front of your tank (back of tank if bought twice), creating a 90 degree spread of bullets in front of your tank. Alternately the 'Machine Gun' (costs 50 points) upgrade places a turret on your tank that fires bullets in a smaller spread at a rate equivalent to the Double Turret.

Trappers
The 'Trap Turret' (costs 60 points) is a turret that fires traps onto the map. To fire traps in multiple directions, buy this upgrade multiple times. Players who want to fire larger and more dangerous traps can buy the 'Mega Trap Turret' (costs 160 points).

Triangle drone users
Players must first decide on how many drones they would like to control. Drones can be bought in sets of 4, each set costing 40 points. Players can also buy 2 drones that they can't control manually (like in the Hybrid) for 20 points.

Players must then buy drone cannons from where the drones will spawn. The more cannons bought, the quicker your army of drones will respawn.

Necromancers
Players who want the function of a Necromancer can buy this as an upgrade for 180 points. The number of drones the Necromancer can control can be controlled using the Reload status upgrade.

Large bullet users
Players who want to fire large bullets like the Destroyer and Hybrid can use the 'Large bullet' (costs 120 points) to fire huge bullets around. It is not advised that you buy this upgrade twice, since you will not be able to take advantage of the recoil produced when firing the bullets, and you also will not have many points left to upgrade status points.

Auto tanks
The 'Side auto turret' (costs 40 points) is an upgrade that adds a turret to the side of your tank that will automatically shoot anything within its 90 degree range. Buying this multiple times makes you able to target many things at once. The 'Top auto turret' (costs 40 points) is a turret that will appear in the middle of your tank that will automatically target any player near your tank. Only one can be used on any tank.

Smashers
The 'Smasher' (costs 160 points) upgrade gives your tank the ability to deal extra body damage when it hits things.

Invisibility
The 'Invisible Tank' (costs 60 points) upgrade gives your tank the ability to become invisible when you are not moving or firing bullets.

Step 2: Add Status Points
Players can now use their remaining points to add status points. Status points include Health Regeneration, Maximum Health, Body Damage, Bullet Speed, Bullet Penetration, Bullet Damage, Reload Speed, Movement Speed, and Field of Vision. Each stat can have a maximum of 15 points.

Step 3: Name your tank and publish it
Give your tank a name and publish it. Your tank is now ready to use.
