Classes

The official class tree as of December 21st, 2017. The class tree can be opened in-game by pressing Y on your keyboard in diep.io.

Diep.io also features a huge variety of playable classes, which can be upgraded at Levels 15, 30, and 45 (max level). the player starts as a normal Tank with a single Cannon which shoots a single Bullet and begins to work their way up from there. Every 15 levels, they may choose to step up to the next available Tier, which is an organization of classes. Tiers, in turn, are sorted in the class tree, shown on the right.

Below is an expanded table of tanks, sorted by Tier and by availability:

Stats

When one levels up, they also gain points that can be put towards upgrading the Stats of their tank, which boosts certain characteristics:

The eight stats.

• Health Regen - Allows the tank to regenerate health faster
• Max Health - Increases the amount of health the tank has
• Body Damage - Increases the damage done by body collisions
• Bullet Speed - Increases the ammunition velocity
• Bullet Penetration - Increases bullet health and hence its penetration
• Bullet Damage - Increases the damage done by ammunition
• Reload - Increases the rate of fire
• Movement Speed - Increases the tank's speed of movement

After every level up through 2-28 the player gets an upgrade point to upgrade one of those stats from a menu like the one seen here. Then, every 3 levels from 30-45 they get an upgrade point.

Bosses

In Diep.io, as well as opponents, the player can fight powerful, AI-controlled Bosses every 10-23 minutes the server is online. They will grant one a lot of experience (30,000, enough to get a level 1 tank beyond the required experience needed for level 45) for the assailant. To be fair to new users, bosses will not target players under level 15 unless provoked. There are a total of 5 different bosses to battle:

Achievements

Achievements are rewards in Diep.io. A player can obtain them through reaching specific requirements, shown on the achievement; some are harder than others, while some are extremely easy. There are 50 achievements in the game as of March 4th, 2017. The player can see all achievements, with earned ones in color, by moving their mouse to the right side of the screen.

Trivia

• Many believe that .io is a game tag for multiplayer games. It is a domain in the British Indian Ocean Territory, where the British and the Chagossians take some of the profit from the people who use the .io domain. Since no Chagossians are living in the area, and the British soon denied the profits from the domain, .io is a free domain.
• Each server can harbor a maximum of 80 players (not including AI).
• The game came out from an old browser game that the Developer, Zeach made called “Diepix”.
