Yellowjacket

The Yellowjacket is a Tier 5 tank that upgrades from the Colonist at level 60.

Design
The Yellowjacket has essentially the same design as the Colonist, but with a dark gray square on the top of its base, indicating its Motor ability.

Technical
The Yellowjacket shoots a spinning hive looking like a diep.io Flank Guard with Pounder bullets. Both guns from the hive shoot uncontrollable swarm drones with turret drones. The swarm hive will spin around the hive until the hive dies, but if a tank gets on its range, the swarm hives will shoot the bullets and will ram tanks.

Upgrades
The Yellowjacket upgrades from the at level 60. It does not upgrade any further.

As the Yellowjacket

 * The Yellowjacket itself is strong, with high swarm drone range and a somewhat strong primary bullet, making it a fairly strong tank, although it's better to fight 1v1 players using it because your swarm can't kill multiple players at once.
 * It's better using it in FFA rather than TDM modes since players are less likely to travel in groups.
 * You can trap players behind rocks in FFA to damage them pretty easily due to it being a drone tank.
 * For ramming tanks, point at them since your drones aren't strong enough to kill it.
 * If the other player can out-penetrate your primary bullet, aim away from it, relying on the swarms to kill it.
 * If the tank branches from Octo-Tank or Hurricane, try running away from it if it still can't be penetrated.

Against the Yellowjacket

 * The Yellowjacket gets its power from its hive because it shoots its swarm hives (and because the hive has quite the power). Focus on the hive since it won't spawn drones if it's destroyed. However, if you do consider that strategy is a waste of time, don't do this.
 * Travel in groups in TDM modes since its swarm hives doesn't damage you that much, because they will try to focus on multiple players at once.
 * Avoid going to the edges of the map since it would just trap you on the rocks, killing you easily (except if you're from the Dirigible or the Flail branch).
 * If the swarm hivess are damaging you quickly, try to run away from it or attempt to kill the player or the hive itself.
 * If you can't damage it, use the slight knockback of the swarm hives to boost you to the tank.
