Mothership (Game Mode)

Mothership is a game mode similar to Team Deathmatch and Domination. The biggest difference is that in each team, one player takes control of a large tank called the Mothership. The Motherships can move freely, using its Guardians to attack the enemy. Just like in Domination, if one of the teams win, the Arena Closers will be spawned and wipe out all the players to start a new server. Also, like Domination, the scores gained from polygons is increased, although in Domination, the score is only doubled instead of tripled.

Map
This map is very similar to the map in Team Deathmatch, but it doesn't have a spawn area.

Motherships
There are two Motherships, but they don't have spawn areas. The Motherships are not shown on the map, but there are triangular arrows pointing to Motherships, the Red arrow pointing towards the Red Mothership and the Blue arrow pointing towards the Blue Mothership.

There are two Motherships moving around the map: One Blue, and one Red. They control Guardians, which are constantly coming out of its barrels. It's very slow, but it has a lot of health and it is able to regenerate health very quickly. When you can't see a Mothership, an arrow and a Mothership's colour will appear, showing you the direction of that Mothership.

Both Motherships have 7.0k health. Their health bar is shown on the top right corner of the screen. The contents of the health bars themselves change with the max health of the higher life Mothership. For example, if the Red Mothership has 5.6k Health, but the Blue Mothership has 2.8k, the Blue Mothership's Health bar would only show a fraction of the health of the Red Mothership's total health, even though it's not at 7k Health.

Spawn
In this game mode, you will spawn in a random location, much like FFA (Free For All). When you spawn, you get spawn protection. The protection lasts for approximately 30 seconds, and doesn't end when you start moving, so it's often used to attack nearby enemies.

Pentagon Nest
The Pentagon Nest is in the middle of the map as usual, but the Polygons spawn much faster.

Minimap
The minimap is the same as in Free For All; it only shows you your position and direction that you are pointing to.

Becoming Mothership
It is very unlikely that you will join the game and become Mothership on the first try, and it's pretty annoying to keep going on different servers, so the easiest method is to copy the Mothership server code which is shown on the image to the right (or bottom on mobile). Paste the link (code) into your URL bar and hit enter. You will now be on one specific server. So play as you would and when the game ends, you will ht enter and if the old game is still going (arena closers) then refresh and hit enter again. You will need to do this fast, or else someone may come before you. Now you will hopefully be a Mothership, and you can show off when your the only special tank in the entire diep.io universe!

Scoreboard
While playing this game mode, you will see a scoreboard to the top right corner of the screen. It shows how much health each of the Motherships currently have.

Strategies

 * Because the Mothership has a metric ton of health, and can regenerate insanely quick, teamwork is an absolute MUST in this gamemode.
 * Try to get your Mothership as close to the enemy mothership - They will often use their drones to all-out attack the opposing Mothership. This can allow for less stress of the opposing mothership drones killing you quickly.
 * Do not engage into any action unless you are level 45. Your shots will be worth more if you have a maxed out build.
 * A combination of Rangers, Triplets and, Triple Shot can allow for easy PKing and an overload of damage to the Mothership.
 * The Destroyer and the Hybrid are effective at dealing damage to the Mothership, as the Mothership's slow speed and large hit box allow their projectiles to easily hit the Mothership.
 * The Trapper classes can seriously hinder the enemy team by preventing the Mothership from ramming, blocking the enemy fire, impeding enemy movement, and trapping tanks and the Mothership.
 * Another good Strategy is to protect your Mothership with an Octo Tank and never leave.
 * Running Body Damage is an unrecommended strategy, as you have to ram into the Mothership to do damage, which is a suicidal move, as the Mothership also has extremely high Body Damage and also has a large amount of drones that protect it.
 * Though, you can still help your team by ramming into key targets, such as Destroyers and Overseers, who can do a lot of damage to the Mothership without taking any in return.

Trivia

 * This game mode was added on June 15th.
 * Originally, you spawned near your team's Mothership. As the page mentions, this was changed.
 * Motherships have a huge amount of body damage. If the two motherships collide, both take immense damage and will destroy each other.
 * Very rarely, a tank will spawn inside the Mothership, forcing it to be stuck inside until the Mothership dies, or a player loses control of the Mothership.
 * There used to be a glitch where there was a Yellow Mothership arrow, pointing towards a random area, then turning or disappearing, but the glitch has been patched.
 * With the 23rd of August, team game modes can now have 4 teams, this happens randomly. But in Mothership, if this 4 teams configuration happens, there won't be four Motherships.
