The Machine Flank is a Tier 3 tank in the Retrograde gamemode in Arras.io. It upgrades from the Machine Gun at Level 30 and upgrades to the Machine Triple and the Half'n Half.
Design[]
The Machine Flank's Body is circle, and it has 2 Machine Gun Cannons at the front and back.
Technical[]
The tank functions similarly to the Machine Gun's, and had lower damage and no recoil.
Strategy[]
- Strong against: Tanks with same or narrower FoV than it, low penetration Tanks, nearby Tanks, groups of Tanks
- Weak against: High penetration Tanks, Drone classes, Tanks with wide FoV
As the Machine Flank[]
- Against narrow FoV Tanks, attack them before they see the player.
- If enemies are near the player, fire Bullets first, then decide flee or attack.
- This Tank is good against groups of Tanks coming from the player's front or back, but the player should care about its side.
Against the Machine Flank[]
- Use a high penetration Tank to go against it.
- Since it is hard for many tanks, including this one, to counter Drone class Tanks, use a Drone class Tank against this Tank.
- Tanks with a wide field of view, such as the Sniper and the tanks from its branch like the Hunter and the Streamliner are great for attacking this Tank in long range.
Trivia[]
- The Flank Guard in Arras.io has 3 Cannons, but this tank has only 2.
- This tank was previously accessible in the early Mockup builds of Arras.io, before later being removed.
