Hivemind

The Hivemind is a tier 4 tank that upgrades from the Basic at level 45. It is similar to the Basic; however, it spawns two identical minions, called probes, that increase firepower and can flank opponents.

History
The Hivemind was added on 3 December 2018. It was suggested by Astra. The probes were given health bars the same day, and the tank was given a darker ring to distinguish it from the Basic. The whole branch was removed for 5 months in late 2019, and was replaced by the Ninja. When it did return in January 2020, the branch had been reworked.

Design
The Hivemind looks exactly like the basic but with thicker edges. The Hivemind minions are identical in size, design, and firepower.

Technical
Like other drone tanks, the Hivemind's minions circle the player when idle unless autofire is on; otherwise, they rotate about the cursor's location.. The Hivemind has higher reload but less damage than the Basic and is also faster than the Basic.
 * The minions have between one-tenth and one-fourth the health of the player. With most bullet builds they have about one-fifth.
