Hazards (Tanked Up)

A list of Hazards in Tanked Up. All hazards in Tanked Up are indestructible, and cannot even be damaged.

Land Mines
Land Mines are a type of hazard in Tanked Up. Land Mines are placed on the tracks Rumble in the Jungle and In the Dock. They appear as a circular object with a skull and crossbones on it. They are easy to avoid, but if the player runs into them, a large amount of damage is dealt and the player is immediately stopped from moving, but can move again after the explosion.

Snowballs
Snowballs are hazards in Tanked Up. They appear as a sphere of Snow that moves at a constant speed in a set direction. They only appear on the level Deep Freeze, where they roll down a hill into a crevasse. They aren't that easy to avoid, as they come down at an unexpected time. The damage they deal is high, damage inflicted equal to 25% of the player's full health.

Swinging Axes
Swinging Axes are hazards in Tanked Up, encountered on the level Rumble in the Jungle. Axes are located on the top of arches, swinging horizontally. They are very hard to avoid, due to the level being difficult to complete and the player having to slow down to avoid them, which could lead to them being passed by another tank.

They do not deal that much damage, but will become a serious danger if the player continues to collide with them throughout the race as the damage will add up. Swinging Axes appear attached to the top of almost every arch in the level, and cannot be destroyed.

Fire Shooting Mouths
Fire Shooting Mouths are hazards in Tanked Up. They appear on the level Rumble in the Jungle, where they appear as a stone statue head attached to a certain part of the level. Three of them are grouped together, and each fires a fiery object from its mouth that can harm other Tanks.

What is bad about them is that they are located in a part of the track where the fire the three shoots goes across most of that part, with only a small part of the track on the bottom being the safe place for the player to drive and not be hit by the fiery projectiles. They cannot be destroyed, but only appear on one part of the level.

Battle Ship
The Battle Ship is a hazard in Tanked Up, appearing only on the level In the Dock. The Battle Ship appears as a long, armed ship, with three cannons. It is made of metal and located in a pool in the middle of the level. It is completely stationary there, and fires at passing Tanks. Its three Cannons are exactly the same as the Cannons seen on the other tanks, and with them it can fire at three passing tanks, or focus fire on one.

It cannot be destroyed, and like Land Mines (also encountered on this level), they do not serve that much of a threat, as the Battle Ship fires in a spot the moving Tank was a few seconds ago, and since it has moved from it, the bullet will miss. The Battle Ship is incapable of firing in a location where it thinks the Tank will be next.

Electric Towers
Electric Towers are hazards in Tanked Up. They appear as large metal towers, that have the appearance of a needle. They do not harm the player for the entire race if they stay on the track area, outlined my small metal circles. If the player so happens to stray from the track, going outside the metal circles, one of the towers in the level will begin to shock the Tank, slowly sapping there health. The damage will not increase, but will go at a constant speed. Moving back onto the track will stop the Tower from electrocuting the Tank that strayed from it. Several Electric Towers are placed throughout the level, so that they can always shock a Tank straying from the track.

Lava
Lava is a hazard in Tanked Up, only encountered on the level Melting Point. Lava appears as a red liquid the outlines the level, being around the entire track, and in areas where there are no track. Lava is the most dangerous hazard in the game, as if the player ever goes into it, they are instantly destroyed. Lava is never required to go through, nor is any danger to the player if the stray from track, as there is never a route along that level that is short, with lava on both sides.
