Spider Tanks Introduces ‘Tracks’: A Retro-Inspired Tank Body

The latest addition to Gala Games’ popular game Spider Tanks is a tank body named ‘Tracks.’ This new tank body is set to revolutionize gameplay with its high energy gain and unique directional drive system, according to Gala News.

Unveiling Tracks

Tracks is a retro-inspired tank body that forgoes traditional legs for a more conventional tank drive system. The design, reminiscent of 15th-century Canadian subcontinent tanks, is both efficient and powerful. It promises amazing bursts of power when piloted by skilled technicians.

This tank body is not as large as the Titan but boasts the highest energy gain among all tank bodies in Spider Tanks. This feature allows players to use more abilities more frequently, making Tracks a formidable option in the arena.

Directional Drive System

Unlike other tank bodies, Tracks employs a directional drive system. This means it can move forward and backward but not side to side. Players will need to adapt to this unique movement style by staying in constant motion. Acceleration from a stop takes time, and turning is only possible while moving, making agility and continuous movement crucial.

Key Combos

The Charger: Tracks/Carver

The Tracks and Carver combo leverages Tracks’ high energy gain. The Carver requires close combat, which is unusual for a massive tank. However, Tracks’ burst ability allows players to cover significant ground quickly, making this combo highly effective.

Speed Boosters, which cost minimal energy, can be used frequently with a high-level Tracks. Adding a Repair Drone for low-cost maintenance ensures that players can use more abilities during matches.

Mobile Triage: Tracks/Repair Artillery

Tracks’ consistent energy and toughness are significant assets. However, its directional drive can be a disadvantage. By staying on the periphery of the fight and using artillery, players can minimize this liability.

This combo allows players to play a support role, using Tracks’ high energy gain to reposition quickly and keep team members healed and supported. The Repair Zone ability, typically costly, becomes more viable with Tracks, enabling frequent team healing.

The Burster: Tracks/Bouncer

This combo accepts Tracks’ slower speed but maximizes its ability to deal bursts of damage. The Bouncer can devastate opposing teams when used at the right time. Tracks’ ability to utilize Speed Boosters extensively is crucial here.

Players should use Speed Boosters strategically, saving them for critical moments to both attack and retreat. This opens opportunities for allies to clean up or set up another attack run.

On Track to Victory

Tracks may be inspired by ancient designs, but it holds significant relevance in modern gameplay. Players are encouraged to adapt to its directional drive system and exploit its high energy gain to dominate the arena.

Gala Games promises more exciting updates and showcases in the coming weeks, keeping the Spider Tanks community engaged and eager for new content.
