The garage is where you prepare your tank for battle. In the garage you can:

  • look at every turret and hull of the game and their characteristics;
  • change your turret and hull when you want to try another way of fighting;
  • equip modules on your turret and hull;
  • try on skins, paints, coatings and ammunition, also ones you do not own yet;
  • equip a graffiti to leave your mark on the battlefield;
  • buy items.

To get there, click GARAGE in the top panel of the main screen.

The turret is on the left of the garage: its name and level, the CHANGE TURRET button, Turret Modules with its three module slots and the Turret Characteristics. The hull is on the right with CHANGE HULL, Hull Modules and the Hull Characteristics. CHANGE VISUALS opens the tank's looks with the tabs SKINS, PAINTS, COATINGS, AMMUNITION and GRAFFITI. At the top you switch between TURRET and HULL, at the bottom between Modules and VISUALS.

At some holidays, such as Halloween, the garage gets a festive look.

Turrets

Main article: Turrets. See also: Ammunition.

Your turret decides how you play: quick attacks at close range, fire from a safe position far away, or supporting your team. CHANGE TURRET shows the whole range:

  • Close range: Firebird sets enemies on fire and is ideal against slow tanks in tight spaces; Freeze freezes and slows the enemy down; Isida damages enemies, heals your own tank while doing so and can repair your allies.
  • Short range (good damage within a limited distance): Hammer is a shotgun with three powerful shells in its magazine; Twins is a rapid-fire plasma gun; Ricochet fires shells that bounce off walls and explode only when they hit a tank.
  • Medium range (high damage per second): Smoky is the standard gun every player has from the start, a faithful companion in your first battles; Vulcan is a rapid-fire machine gun whose aim is almost impossible to throw off; Thunder fires explosive shells that damage everything around the point of impact.
  • Long range (no limit to their range, slow reload, high damage per shot): Railgun is a powerful kinetic gun that pierces through several enemies at once; Shaft has a sniper scope and suits medium and long distances.

A turret you do not own yet shows its price in crystals, and Characteristics tells you everything about it.

Hulls

Main article: Hulls.

The right turret is only half of success: the hull has to fit it. The hulls fall into three groups:

  • Light, fast and agile: Wasp and Hornet.
  • Medium, the most versatile: Hunter, Viking and Dictator. Hunter is the hull you start with.
  • Heavy and massive: Mammoth and Titan.
