Grenades are released!
Grenades significantly increase the tactical abilities of a tank. The standard grenade is an ideal anti-camper weapon, a precise throw can send a grenade over a wall or any other obstacle that an enemy tank is hiding behind.
The main value of grenades is the variety of tactics available for manipulating your enemies. Yes, it is difficult to destroy an enemy with a grenade launcher, but tanks have turrets for that purpose! Pushing an enemy out of cover with a grenade so you can blast them with your turret? Now that’s a feeling that’s hard to beat.
How will this work?
Grenades can be bought in the garage in the special “Grenades” section.
Grenades will become available to be purchased at 2 AM UTC on September 9th.
Default grenades will be available for all players by default.
You will be able to purchase them like supplies. Each throw of a Grenade consumes 1 unit of the Grenade supply.
Also grenades can be upgraded, they have modifications just like regular turrets.
How to use grenades in battle?
1) Grenades are used by pressing the throw button. By default, it is the F key.
2) Throwing a grenade and dropping a flag can’t be bound to different keys. If you have both a grenade and a flag, the flag is always higher in priority. This is shown on a tank. When a flag is carried, the grenade is hidden and the button on the interface is changed.
3) Grenades are only reloaded when the tank respawns. Also there is a cooldown timer after the throw, so if you respawn too soon after throwing a grenade, you will not get a new one.
Only one type of grenade can be used at once. To use a different type, the equipment change function should be used to change the grenade type in the garage.
Types of Grenades
The following grenades will be in the game:
| Bomb A standard Grenade that damages enemies when exploding. The best choice for getting an opponent out of cover. |
