Birdshot

Birdshot is a Tier 4 Tank that upgrades from the at level 45.

Design:
Birdshot has a circular body with a barrel that looks like Multishot's barrel but thinner. It is about as wide as one grid square.

Technical:
Birdshot shoots a large amount of miniature bullets whose individual damage is somewhat similar to the.

As the Birdshot

 * This tank is frankly just not good. Its spread is too high while its damage per-bullet and reload are too low. It is recommended to either choose a different Tier 4 Multishot or upgrade off of this tank.
 * You can do decent work on Sanctuaries or distracted Bosses. You have a slight edge in terms of the latter; since you are only Tier 4 bosses will likely be busy targeting the more common Tier 5s around.
 * This tank is decent at picking off already-weakened enemies since it has such a wide spread. Do keep in mind that your damage is still very poor though so you may end up just making enemies mad.
 * Despite how poorly this tank performs in most departments, you can do a silly run with no reload and high movement speed, as well as maxed out bullet stats. This effectively makes you a death at close range. You are still really weak though, and can't one shot some larger smashers, leaving you completely open to ramming or any other kind of attack. This is not a good strategy, but it is funny. Once people start to notice you on the leaderboard, you will probably die.

Against the Birdshot

 * You can kill this almost any way you want, basically any tank will do as long as you stay a half-decent distance away. Even if you are a rammer you still have a solid chance, just be careful to approach between shots because the one time this tank is effective is at point-blank range.
 * The Birdshot's damage also falls off extremely hard, making just about everything other than point blank shots mediocre damage. This means that Sniper branches are very effective at shredding the Birdshot.
 * -branch tanks are probably the best tanks to deal with the Birdshot, as they can deplete it's health without getting close, and the acid effect does that for them inbetween shots. But really, why would you need to pick a tank that is a specific counter to the Birdshot? It's not even that difficult to kill with the right tactics.
