Because you can never have too many Destroyer upgrades.

The Redistributor is one of the Tier 4 upgrade options from Destroyer. The Redistributor may not upgrade any further. You may recognize this tank if you've ever played woomy-arras; I made it. The Redistributor features a cannon that has insanely slow reload, but the bullet it fires instantly kills players and kills bosses in two shots. This tank was made by Toriellabella.

Design[]

The Redistributor features a circular body. It has a singular cannon on the front with a width in between Tank's cannon and Destroyer's cannon. On the base of this barrel is a trapezoid that is flush with the barrel. Layered behind the main cannon is a trapezoid that barely peeks out.

From Destroyer[]

The main cannon's width is decreased. A trapezoid is mounted on the base of the cannon and another one is layered behind it.

Technical[]

Redistributor is a simplistic tank. If you hold down the left mouse button for a few seconds, a small Gunner Trapper sized bullet is fired out. This bullet features a tiny Spike shell on it. This bullet is fast and will instantly kill a tank if it lands its shot. You need two to three of these shots to kill a boss. You have insanely slow reload and slow movement speed, which balances out this tank.

Strategy[]

As Redistributor[]

  • One good thing about the Redistributor is that since your firing is delayed, you can always hold click but let go before you fire, so you can prepare a shot in case an enemy comes by. This is especially useful when dealing with tanks like Necromancer, since you can time the firing so that it occurs when they come on screen.
  • Any tank that is too slow to avoid your bullet is easy to kill! Literally just point and aim and they're gone!
  • Tanks that have focused fire, such as Triplet or Auto Gunner may be hard to deal with, especially up close. Since you also move slowly, it will be hard to deal with these tanks up close. What you can do, however, is fire off to the side; Since your bullet isn't directly in their line of fire, it will still land on the tank itself.
  • Area denial tanks, such as Octo Tank and Triple Twin, are absurdly easy to deal with. They don't have any recoil, so they can't run away. They don't have any focused fire, so they can't possibly block your shots. Again, literally just point and click!

Against Redistributor[]

  • A good way to deal with an enemy Redistributor is to use a tank such as Penta Shot or Spread Shot; These tanks have high reload and have spreading shots, so a Redistributor can't just shoot off to the side. Due to your high rate of fire, you can easily pummel the enemy Redistributor.
  • Fast tanks, like Booster, are possibly the hardest counter to Redistributor. Because of the slow movement and the slow fire rate of the enemy Redistributor, all you have to do is ensure they shoot one and miss that shot. Then all you have to do is move in and ram them. Or, in the case of an Annihilator using high recoil, just shoot them point blank!
  • Trapper branch tanks are a surprising counter, but they work well. Very well, in fact! Mega Trapper and Auto Trapper in particular work amazingly. If a Redistributor fires at you, just hide behind your traps! They'll block the redistributing bullet and will allow you to pummel the enemy Redistributor!
  • Invisibility tanks are a natural counter for the Redistributor. You can catch the enemy off guard and simply ram into them if you're a Landmine, or swarm them with your drones if you are a Manager! If they can't spot you, they can't fire at you. This logic also applies to another tank; Ranger can easily defeat a Redistributor, since the Redistributor is off screen and won't be able to see the Ranger shooting at them.

Trivia[]

  • Redistributor gets its name from how powerful the bullet is; It "redistributes" the enemy into non-existence.
