How to Play Spider Tanks: Gameplay Overview

When you play Spider Tanks, you will have a “bird’s eye view” perspective of the battlefield. You see your tank (and the enemy tanks) from above. To control your tank while in combat, the keyboard keys W, A, S, D are used. 

Meanwhile, to rotate the tank and adjust its firing range, you have to use your mouse. Doing this can be a pain in the ass at the start but you’ll get a hang of it as you play the game more.

Spider Tanks is a 3v3 team game. You have to cooperate with two more players to destroy an enemy team consisting of three players. 

What are the Game Modes in Spider Tanks?

Spider Tanks is not just about crushing tanks to victory. It offers different battle modes to keep the game refreshing and exciting to delve in. In this section, we talked about the game modes of Spider Tanks that are worth the try.

Team Deathmatch

This is the classic 3v3 “battle-to-death” game mode. Your main objective is to annihilate your enemy tanks and protect your allies. 

Capture the Flag

This is the game mode for those who want a more strategic combat experience. The main objective is to keep and protect the flag in your team for a specific time period. 

Chicken Chase

Chickens in tank combat? Seriously?

Well, we don’t know what was going around in the developers’ mind when they created this game mode but fair enough, this is actually one of our favorites. Your main objective is to collect and capture chickens spread around the map and bring them to your base. The team with more chickens collected wins.

King of the Hill

This is like a “last stand” game mode where your team has to control a particular portion of an area in the battlefield and defend it from invading hostile tanks. Fight until the time runs out or suffer from a miserable defeat.

Poultry Pusher

Another chicken-inspired game mode, your team’s main objective is to protect a colossal mecha chicken while lumbering its way to the enemy lines.

Kill Confirmed

This is like the team deathmatch mode but with a fun twist. After destroying an enemy tank, they will leave some eggs for you to collect. Your goal is to harvest those eggs and bring them to your bse.

What is the Tank Garage?

Earlier we mentioned this place called Garage. To simply put, this is where you can select weapons and tank bodies before engaging in combat. 

Some of the popular add-ons that players augment to their tanks are the following: cloaking, repair drones, stun grenade throwers, place turrets, and lava launcher. You can also include in your tank system the ability to call for airstrikes and even to teleport.

Note that the tank and its parts are all NFTs. They all have real world monetary value. You can collect, trade, and sell these parts to earn money.

What is the SILK Token?

SILK is the official in-game currency of Spider Tanks. As you win games in this tank strategy game, you will earn SILK. You can keep your earned SILK in your virtual in-game chest. This is also the currency you have to use to purchase Arachnium, the essential currency to buy and upgrade tanks.

How to Earn Money in Spider Tanks?

Now that you’re aware of the in-game mechanics of Spider Tanks, let’s now proceed to the one you’re waiting for – the play-to-earn element of the game.

Of course you have to “play” the game to have the chance to earn. You must either buy your own tank or “rent” a tank from another player. If you don’t want to do any of the two; you may opt to use the free tanks.

At the moment, the only way to earn SILK in Spider Tanks is to win battles. The amount of SILK you’ll earn depends on your level and performance battle-wise. 

However, if you’re just piloting a rented tank, you have to share the “spoils of the war” with the owner. The usual sharing proportion is 50%-50%.
