Horizon

**Horizon** is a Tier 4 weapon designed with crowd control in mind. It has 9 barrels. It upgrades from Spread, Arc, Quad, and Gunner and does not upgrade further.

## Technical/Design

Horizon features 3 large barrels spaced at 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 270 degrees from the tank. Each large barrel has 3 smaller barrels placed in between them. This gives Horizon 6 small barrels and 3 large barrels, or 9 barrels total.

## Strategy

#### As a Horizon

* Horizon's high spread allows it to take on crowds effectively. When backed up by a team, the Horizon can be a potent ally as it can damage entire teams possibly ruining an offensive push.
* Horizon's poor DPS, terrible single-target damage, low penetration, and poor speed make it one of the worst tanks in the game for single-target damage. Try to avoid direct conflicts as much as possible and do not use the tank in FFA because that is a really dumb idea.
* Horizon is good at taking on drone classes due to its bullets providing a space that prevents the drones from advancing toward you.
* Horizon is incredibly reliant on a potent team to back it up due to its incredibly poor damage output. Attempt to find at least 1 Sniper class and at least 1 standard DPS to assist you in taking on large swarms of players.
	+ Do not do this in FFA, as you could die very easily there.

#### Against a Horizon

* The high penetration of a Marksman can effectively shut down a Horizon's push. If a Horizon is pushing forward with a group, it is important to take out the Horizon to prevent teammates from becoming collateral damage of the attack.
* A good Trapper can build a safe zone that prevents the opposing Horizon from doing any damage, as its DPS is incredibly poor. Use this to your advantage to wreak hell on the poor Horizon.
* If a Horizon is on its own, immediately engage in conflict with it as it will usually not be able to defend due to its poor single-target damage and low penetration.

### Matchups

* **Strong Against:** Large swarms of players, Drone classes
* **Weak Against:** All tanks up close, Snipers, Trappers, Factory and subsequent upgrades.

#### Build Advice

Horizon is a one-trick pony, specialising in crowd control and nothing else. As a result, the best builds are ones that maximise crowd control potential or increase your survivability.

* **Saw** can be a good choice, as the speed bonus allows for easier escapes and more synergised offensive pushes. However, the health drop makes you even more vulnerable to being shot by Snipers and walled out by Trappers.
* **Bombard** and **Quadruplet** both allow you to target multiple opponents at once, with Bombard being a better option for defence as you can target opponents further away than you could with Quadruplet, but Quadruplet is the more powerful offensive option, being a good counter to rammers and up-close tanks as well as helping you defend in disadvantageous situations. **Fabricator** - zoom

## Trivia

* Due to its terrible single-target DPS, lack of use without a coordinated team, and being outclassed in every way by Disperse, Horizon is often considered one of the most useless Tier 4 tanks in the game.
* It is named Horizon after its tank cannon design, which looks a bit like a cartoonish depiction of a horizon if you squint.
