The Auto-3 is a Tier 3 tank in Arras.io. It upgrades from the Flank Guard and can upgrade to the Auto-5, Mega-3, Auto-4, and Banshee. Its upgrade key is I.

In Arms Race, the Auto-3 can also upgrade to Sniper-3, Crowbar, Auto-Auto-3, or Combo.

Design

The Auto-3 possesses three small Turrets (sometimes called "Guns") angled 120° away from each other.

Technical

The Auto-3's turrets fire at nearby attackable entities if the player is not controlling them. Activating autofire aims the turrets facing the cursor at the cursor, while those not facing it fire as usual. Activating override disables the turrets from firing outside of autofire.

By default, autofire and override can be activated by pressing the keys E and R, respectively.

Mounted Turrets

There are many tanks in Arras.io that possess mounted turrets. However, they are not as controllable as those of the Auto-3 branch. In any case, besides not being able to be controlled using autofire, turrets on most other tanks will act identically to those of the Auto-3. The Auto-Smasher has a mounted turret that appears similar to a Twin.

Strategy

• Strong Against: Lower tier Tanks, low reload Tanks
• Weak Against: Focused fire Tanks, high reload Tanks

As the Auto-3

• The Auto-3's three Auto Turrets make farming with this Tank quite easy - in fact, you can just move around an let the Turrets do the rest.
• If fighting another Tank, enable Auto Fire and aim at them. Be constantly on the move. You'll have a higher chance to win against a lower tier or a lower reload Tank.

Against the Auto-3

• A Tank with higher firepower than the Auto-3 can easily overwhelm and destroy it.
• Auto-3 bullets are relatively weak alone, so don't be afraid to shoot down ammunition that you're about to run into. This is especially important if the Tank manages to catch you in a cross-fire between two Turrets.

Trivia

• The Auto-3 is borrowed from Diep.io, however the Auto-3 in Arras.io has a hyphen in its name, while the Auto 3 in Diep.io does not.
• The Auto-3 is the only Tier 3 tank with turrets.
• The Auto-3 is the only tank that was mentioned in the 2023 April Fools Update in the game changelog.^[1]
