The Shrapnel Shooter is a fanon tank in Arras.io, concepted by Apentashot1274. It can be tested out and played with on this server.
Technical[]
The Shrapnel Shooter upgrades from Machine Gun, and currently upgrades into the Shredder and the Shrap-splosive. This tank has one Shrapnel Cannon on it, which shoots Shrapnel, a special bullet type. Shrapnel Cannons resembles a Builder Cannon, but are much skinnier than a Builder Cannon. This tank fires a four-round cluster, clusters being the typical firing pattern for Shrapnel-bearing tanks. Each Shrapnel has a low penetration and bullet health factor, but is slightly higher in damage than a basic bullet (a Basic's bullet, in the code, has 1 damage value, while the Shrapnel Shooter's bullets have 1.15).
Strategy[]
As the Shrapnel Shooter[]
- Try and attack from close up. Its cluster firing pattern makes close-up attacks more powerful.
- When fighting Destroyer types, try and fire beside the bullet, as Shrapnel is poor against blocking bullets.
- Snipers can be a bit of a problem, as they can easily fire beside the Shrapnel cluster and hit you. When faced with a Sniper-type tank, try and head up nice and close to even out the battle.
Against the Shrapnel Shooter[]
- Destroyers and Snipers, are both good against this tank. When using a Destroyer, fire directly at the tank. The Shrapnel's poor penetration and health will make your bullets easily annihilate the Shrapnel.
- Snipers can fire beside Shrapnel clusters, avoiding the small damage loss from the Shrapnel. A Snipers, large FOV and range allows for easy picking of unaware Shrapnel Shooters. two piecies of shrapnel
- Never let a Shrapnel Shooter get too close. A burst will take you town to critically low health, if not killing you outright.
