Corrupt UV

The Corrupt UV is a Tier 5 tank that upgrades from Euclid Pelleter at level 60.

Design
The Corrupt UV has two Borer turrets and three unique blue UV turrets, which fire 3 different sizes of bullets. The UV turrets are stacked on each other but are difficult to distinguish. The UV bullets, which have small blue centers, explode into 15 tiny bullets.

Technical
The Corrupt UV is extremely powerful in bullet Damage and Penetration, similar to the Borer. However, it's exploding bullets can be activated by holding right-click or shift.

The Corrupt UV is also decently fast, however it has trouble outrunning rammers.

With enough trial and error, you may manage to stack the Corrupt UV's bullets.

As the Corrupt UV
If using the Corrupt UV, then make sure that you use the Glass Build (0,0,7,7,9,9,9,1,0,0). This will give you your best damage, penetration, and reload.

Most rammers shouldn't pose a threat to you, but fast rammers like the Kashmir can seriously hurt you unless you're 1v1ing them and therefore not distracted. On the contrary though, slower type rammers such as Smasher branch should barely even get close to you if you can focus your fire on them. Boosters and Lancer branch tanks pose as more of a threat, but if you're skilled enough you can also kill them easily.

While most of Flail branch won't be too much of a challenge for you to kill, the Grudge and Flangle are very dangerous against you. Your best hope is to use your Borer bullets to destroy a Grudge's ammunition while getting your explosive bullets to the side of the Grudge to overwhelm them and hopefully kill them. Flangles on the other hand are basically Boosters with better reach and front defense. The best strategy is to aim to the Flangle's sides and wear down its HP until they either get the sense they can't kill you or until you actually kill them.

Due to their low ROF, most Sniper and Pounder branch tanks are easy to kill. You still should always be careful to dodge their bullets though, especially if they're a Minigun-like tank or a Pounder tank.

Despite having decent penetration against most tanks, the Corrupt UV can quite easily kill even an experienced Twin or Machine Gun branch tank. Triplets and Blasters will have slightly better defense, but if using the Glass Build you can quickly out-penetrate them. You can also kill most of Trapper branch with your bullets and even dominate over your fellow Pelleter branch tanks- even other Euclid Pelleter tanks if you're experienced enough and have a good build.

This tank is also very effective against AWP-1 if you are skilled enough.

Against the Corrupt UV
Basically, the easiest and most likely to work way to kill the Corrupt UV is to use any type of Drone wielding tanks. You have to be careful though, as if your drones are too far from you, they may manage to evade the drones while still pummeling your tank with bullets. However, if you an maneuver your drones skillfully enough, you may manage to flank them and hopefully they'll shoot at the drones and not you. However, ideally, if they're shooting at you, they can't be protecting themselves from the drones, so try to have them aim at you while your drones come to the side. Oxyrrhexis also has good chances of overpowering the Corrupt UV, but make sure to never stop firing or else they'll end up out-penetrating you.

Another way that might work is using a Corrupt UV to fight another Corrupt UV. This is recommended if you want to do 1v1, as it will come down not to what tank you are, but to what your skill and build is. Unfortunately though, this is not guaranteed to work, as they may have higher skill or a better build than you. However, if they are new to the Corrupt UV, it should be a turkey shoot.

You can try to team on the Corrupt UV, but in doing so do it in a teams mode and be fair. Plus, you'll need at least 3 trustworthy people on your mini team to try to attack the Corrupt UV. Even then, the Corrupt UV could easily kill 3 bullet tanks.

Rammers literally will die quick to a Corrupt UV.
