Patch notes

What's changed in the game, newest first. Small fixes get grouped. Big changes get their own entry and the reason for them.

September 2026

Smoother movement and a faster game

• Other tanks, bots, shapes and drones are now drawn much closer to real time. On a steady connection you see them about half as far in the past as before, so what you aim at is closer to where it really is.
• Movement no longer speeds up and slows down with your connection. Snapshots are placed on the server's own timeline instead of by when they happen to arrive.
• When a server falls behind for a moment, it no longer sends a burst of stale snapshots.
• Other players' barrels now kick back when they fire. It was supposed to work already and never did.

Balance

• Bullets travel half as far as before, and 1/8 slower. Long-range classes still out-range everyone else, but every class has to commit to a fight instead of chipping from off-screen.
• Team bases are now lethal to anything from another team. Enemy tanks, bosses, bullets and drones can't enter a base. Tanks that try are drained fast, and bots and bosses know to stay out.
• The adaptive director no longer changes how much score you earn. It controls how many bots and bosses there are and how hard they play, never your payout.
• The game now records how every class performs, so balance changes are based on real results instead of guesses.

Bots

• Bots now level up the same way you do, from level 1, picking classes and stat points as they go. They no longer spawn fully grown.
• Bots react faster and pick targets better, and they stop chasing things that are already gone.

Accounts and achievements

• Fixed: runs on the new servers weren't being saved to accounts, so no achievements or Discord roles were being earned. They are now.
• Fixed: a destroyed tank sitting on the death screen could keep taking damage from the shape that killed it, which counted extra deaths on accounts.

Phones

• Fixed drone control on phones: drones now go where you point instead of past the edge of the screen.

Site

• New guide, wiki and these patch notes.

Coming next

New game modes, all-time leaderboards for every mode, harder achievements, and a smaller phone HUD with a size slider are on the private test server now. After that comes a party system so friends can land in the same lobby.
