The start of the Burst branch, my third branch!
The Burst is a Tier 2 tank that attacks by using its burst of bullets, as its name applies. It upgrades from the Basic, and it will upgrade to Burst+, Minigun, Dual Burst, Pulse, Burstception (at level 45) and Predator (at level 45). More upgrades may be coming soon. It can fire a maximum of 3 bullets per burst, which will "charge" itself over time.
Design[]
Its design is similar to the Minigun. However, the barrels are more clumped and there are 3 non-shooting barrels behind it. They represent how many bullets your burst can shoot, and will turn orange when it is charged.
Technical[]
The bullets are about 35% weaker than Tank, similar to the Twin. The burst charges at the speed of 166% of tank's reload, which makes the maximum DPS of this tank slightly higher than Tank's. Bullet speed and accuracy is slightly improved, but bullet size is a bit smaller. If you shoot when the burst is not fully charged, the amount of bullets you shoot will depend on how long you charged your burst (how many barrels on your tank has changed into orange) and deplete your charge. If there are none, nothing will happen. Note that on Auto fire, the tank will only fire if the burst is fully charged.
Strategy[]
- Strengths: Low-health tanks, tanks without focus fire, Trapper classes, Destroyer branch
- Weaknesses: Bullet spammers (especially Streamliners), Factory, 2v1s, Fast rammers
As the Burst[]
- This tank basically has 2 modes that you can utilize, being "spray mode" and "burst mode", each having their own benefits.
- By manually holding the mouse, you can be like weaker version of the Twin, spraying random bullets. By waiting until the burst is fully charged than fire (or using auto-fire), you will be like a clumped Minigun, dealing tons of damage in bursts.
- Spray mode is usually only good for farming and finishing off low-health tanks, and is not recommended to use it this way all the time.
- Burst mode is what you will want to use in encounters, as it can easily pierce through enemy bullets and potentially one-shot some glass tanks with just one burst.
- Generally, you want to use this as a cross between the Minigun and the Sniper.
- Against drone branches, you could lure the drones away from the drone user, then kill it with 1-2 bursts.
- A way to fight is to "first strike" the enemy with a full burst, then quickly finishing off using "spray mode".
- This tank has amazing offense, but a lacking defense, so fights usually end quick.
Against the Burst[]
- You will have to see if the Burst user preferably uses the spray mode or the burst mode.
- If they are using spray mode, uhhh just kill it easily spray mode isn't too good at 1v1s
- However, if they are using burst mode, remember that 1 or 2 burst can easily kill you. Wait till they hire their burst then attack. Rinse and repeat.
- Snipers can kill it easily when outside their FoV, but beware if they start randomly shooting in your direction.
- If you can, try to aim at the back of this tank, or call a teammate to distract the tank.
Burst branch[]
These are all the tanks (for now, I will add a lot more soon) and unique traits of the Burst branch!
- Tier 2 Tanks: Burst
- Tier 3 Tanks: Burst+, Dual Burst, Pulse
- Tier 4 Tanks: Burst++, Burstception, Charger, Pulsar, Dual Pulse, Pulsar, Dual Pulse, Lazer Pulse
- Cross-branch upgrades: Minigun (Tier 3), Burst Lazer (Tier 4), Lazer Pulse (Tier 4)
Unique traits[]
- Third branch I have made!
- This branch introduces and mainly uses the "Burst" mechanic, where your burst automatically charges over time, and you can fire and deplete it at any time.
- These are usually good 1v1 tanks, but not too great at farming and area control.
- Usually can one-shot glass tanks when charged to full-burst.
Contributions[]
- None yet!
Trivia[]
- People voted for a new branch in a poll I made, so i made this. (Not really, I already thought of this idea before the branch)
- Sorry if i explained the mechanics and uses of this tank unclearly, it's hard to explain in words. Maybe i should make my own arras mod and add this?
- The "burst" mechanic used by this tank is inspired by some other game.
