Not to be confused with the similar-looking Steam Shot.
The Assaulter is a Tier 5 Tank upgrading from the Hotshot , the Buckshot and the Overpowerer at level 60.
Design[]
The Assaulter has the three wide, stacked barrels of the Hotshot sitting on top of a tapering trapezoid. It looks somewhat similar to the Steam Shot.
Technical[]
The Assaulter fires Multishot bullets from each of its three barrels, one after the other in succession. The Assaulter bullets deal less damage than those of Multishot. Its bullets are quite small, about the size of Multishot bullets.
These bullets are fired at a high velocity before slowing down. Each individual bullet deals low damage, but 6 are fired at a time in a slight spread, dealing significant damage to anything that gets close.
The Assaulter has the FOV of Minigun.

Strategy[]
As the Assaulter[]
- Try to get close to tanks to deal extra damage since more of your bullets will land and they wouldn't have slowed down before contact. It deals more damage.
- For tanks with many bullets like Octo-Tank or Triplet, you can't penetrate them easily or get close enough, so stay away.
- On the flip side, tanks with low firepower like the Sniper are easy to kill because you can get close.
- Also kill unsuspecting players since you deal more damage the closer you are (more bullets land) so they can't react.
- Assaulter is okay at killing Sanctuaries but it will take some time. At least you're not Groundwire.
- Assaulter is horrible at killing bosses however since its bullets are easily penetrated, not to mention that if you try to get close for damage you get shredded.
- You aren't the best tank against AI. No you're pretty bad not gonna lie, NANOBOT INVASION HELP US REEE
Against the Assaulter[]
- Use bullet spammers to keep Assaulter out of the all-gender bathrooms and protect your rights.
- On the flip side, tanks like Ranger can't keep Assaulter from violating them up close and personal.
- Always be on the alert whenever you see a
right foot creepAssaulter, since it deals more damage when closer.- Keep in mind that Assaulter's FOV is about that of Minigun, which is higher than average.
- Since Assaulter isn't great against AI, try to lure some near it so that they target Assaulter.
- If you're skilled enough, use Jump Smasher to boost closer while dodging bullets to ram.
- Springboard is too big and slow however and will be easily killed. Annoyance is the opposite and very good.
