Afterburner

Info
This upgrade grants a large bonus to your tank's speed for a short amount of time each time it spawns.

Like Turbo, the exact speed increase is unspecified.

Multiple instances of this upgrade all trigger at the same time upon spawning, so a tank's movement speed increases, but not the duration of the increase.

Common
2-second speed boost

Rare
4-second speed boost

Epic
6-second speed boost

Strategy
Use this upgrade to help get your tank into position before the enemy can get into theirs. Multiple Afterburners and/or Exhausts can increase a tank's movement speed to the point where its momentum will launch it into the air from the crest of a hill or even over other tanks. This can make your tank extremely hard to deal with in game modes like Bunker Bash and Boss Battle.

Afterburner pairs well with Spawn Shield, since it speeds you up specifically while you are invincible.
