Flashbang

The Flashbang is a Level 60 tank in woomy.arras.io that currently upgrades from Flintlock (original upgrade), Engineer, and Shrapnel. It cannot upgrade any further.

Appearance
The Flashbang looks like a Shotgun but the cannon is now shorter. There is also two added cannons, the first is slimmer than the second. Like most tanks, it has a circular body.

Technical
The Flashbang fires C4 Grenades that are shaped as regular Septagons. These grenades do a lot of damage to anyone it touches. However, unlike Shrapnel the bombs do not explode on their own. In order to cause the C4s to explode, you have to right click or press shift.

When reload is maxed, a Flashbang can shoot it's bombs around one bomb per second. Weapon damage and penetration do not need to be maxed in order for a Flashbang bomb to deal massive damage to enemies.

As the Flashbang
Flashbangs are OP against almost any tank. Slow rammers with full HP don't stand a chance against the Flashbang (unless the player using Flashbang is a noob), and slow rammers with low HP are good as dead. However, any rammers with low HP most likely will succumb to the Flashbang, but professional fast rammers with low HP will run away and come back once they have full HP. Flashbang's bombs can also penetrate the pellets of tanks such as Pelleter and Storm. Even though Triploid has higher ROF than most Pelleter tanks, Triploid barely stands a chance against Flashbang even if they both have full health. You can also try "sideswiping" tanks without cannons all around, such as Twin Flank branch, though in order to do this you must get very lucky. You can also try killing Sanctuaries, but only Triangle and Square Sanctuaries, as killing a Pentagon Sanctuary will spawn a Leviathan, which are some of the few enemies of the Flashbang that do stand a chance.

Against the Flashbang
Flashbangs usually can't get it's traps to hit high ROF tanks with larger bullets, such as Mini Gunner, Sprayer, or mostly Triplet and Triplet branch. They're also weak against large amounts of drones, so Tetrators and Inoculists are great for fighting Flashbang. Fighter-H and Dumper are also ideal fighters against Flashbang, but only when they're using the shooter build. Also, unless choosing Launcher, Pounder branch is somewhat good against Flashbang but the best for fighting Flashbang are Hybrid types, Annihilator types, and Donut types. Also, even though Flashbang is strong against Storm itself, an army of Storms or Hurricane branch (specifically Monsoon and Cyclone) can fight off and if lucky, even kill a Flashbang. It's also weak against fast bosses such as the Comet or Fallen Booster. However, it's mostly weak against drone bosses such as the Guardian and Leviathan.

Trivia

 * Flashbang is one of the only two tanks with controllable trap explosions.
 * The other one is the primary tank it upgrades from, Flintlock.


 * Flashbang bombs actually used to explode on their own, similar to it's most recent tank it upgrades from, Shrapnel.
 * However, now you can control their explosions.
 * The only reason (other than looks) that Flashbang evolves from Shrapnel is because they both have exploding projectiles.
 * Flashbang has gone through many changes, including a large buff.
