Yellowjacket

Yellowjacket is a Tier 5 in-game tank.

Design
The tank uses the same design as Colonist but with a dark gray square on top of it's base.

Technical
The tank shoots out a spinning bullet shooting out uncontrollable swarm drones with turret drones. The swarm drones will spin around the primary bullet until the bullet dies.

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

As the Tank

 * 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 Tank

 * Yellowjacket gets it's power from it's primary bullet because it shoots out it's drones
 * Focus on it since it won't spawn drones if it's destroyed.
 * Travel in groups in TDM modes since it's swarms damage you that much.
 * Avoid going to edges of the map since it would just trap you on the rocks, killing you easily.
 * If the swarms are damaging you quickly, try and run away from it or attempt to kill the player or the bullet.
 * If it doesn't, use the knockback of the drones to boost you to the tank.
