The Artillery is a Tier 3 tank in Arras.io. It upgrades from the Machine Gun or Pounder and can upgrade to the Mortar, Ordnance, Beekeeper, or Field Gun.

In Arms Race, the Artillery can also upgrade to the Queller, Forger, Force, Auto Artillery, Foctillery, Discharger, Blare, or Ernie.

Design[]

The Artillery possesses a large cannon as wide as the Pounder's, but slightly shorter, as well as two smaller cannons to its sides.

Technical[]

The Artillery fires large bullets with its front cannon, and small bullets with its side ones. The side cannons alternate between firing, and have a slightly higher fire rate than the front cannon, which itself has a lower fire rate than the Pounder.

Strategy[]

  • Strong Against: Anything within a short range, focused fire Tanks, spread fire Tanks to a limited degree
  • Weak Against: Snipers, Drone users

As the Artillery[]

  • The Artillery is like a weaker Destroyer with the benefit of having two backup Cannons on the side. The player should use this when in a pinch and have to escape.
  • The side Cannons can be used to pressure enemies and whittle away at their health, or make them run into the big bullets.
  • The player shouldn’t rely on their side cannons to kill, as they aren’t focused and are hard to aim.
  • Spread-firing tanks like the Sprayer can overpower the Artillery’s side bullets, but they are more likely forced to move around in order to dodge both the main and side bullets. This can be helpful to the player if they find themself unable to win against such tanks.

Against the Artillery[]

  • Since the Artillery is basically a weaker Destroyer, Drone users won’t have such a hard time against this Tank. The Bullet is smaller, making it easier to avoid it, and if the Drones are hit, they won’t all go down in one bullet, making the Artillery an easy kill for Drone users.
    • This is especially true for the Underseer classes and their Drone swarms.
  • Snipers can pick this tank off from a distance. The Artillery’s low center cannon reload and side cannon penetration means it won’t be able to do much against them.

Trivia[]

  • This tank used to be upgradeable to the Spreadshot, back when the latter tank had its front cannon being the same size with the Artillery. The upgrade option has since been removed when the Spreadshot’s front cannon was changed to better match the appearance of its diep.io counterpart.
  • This tank used to upgrade to both Skimmer and Twister, but the addition of Launcher, meant as the main branch for missile-shooting tanks, no longer allows the Artillery to upgrade to either of those two.
  • In Arms Race, Field Gun appears twice on the upgrade screen.
