Alterations
Alterations let you fine-tune how your turrets and hulls behave. Where upgrades make your equipment flatly stronger, alterations let you shift the balance of an item's stats to suit your playstyle — trading a little of one quality for more of another. They are the finishing touch that turns a good build into your build.
What alterations do
Each turret and hull has a set of alteration options that adjust stats such as:
- Damage — raw output per shot or per second.
- Reload / rate of fire — how quickly you can keep firing.
- Range & accuracy — how far and how precisely you hit.
- Speed & turning — how nimble your hull feels.
- Special-effect strength — e.g. burn duration, freeze rate, splash radius.
Alterations usually involve a trade-off: pushing one stat up may gently lower another, so there is no single "best" preset — only the one that fits how you play.
Example alteration styles
| Style | Emphasis | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Aggressive | More damage / rate of fire | Brawlers who want to win fast trades |
| Precision | More range / accuracy | Snipers and long-range duelists |
| Sustain | Better reload / cooling | Sustained-fire weapons like Vulcan |
| Mobility | More speed / handling | Flag runners and hit-and-run players |
| Control | Stronger special effect | Freeze and Flamethrower users |
Tips for using alterations
- Tune to your weapon's strength. Lean into what a turret already does well rather than fighting its nature.
- Match the map. A precision alteration shines on open maps; an aggressive one suits tight arenas.
- Experiment. Alterations are reversible, so try different setups and keep what feels best.
- Combine with the build. Alterations work alongside micro-upgrades, paints and modules — think about the whole tank, not one stat.
Alterations are about personalisation. Two players on the same hull and turret can feel completely different depending on how they tune it — find the setup that clicks for you.
