A free tank .io arena: drop into a scrolling battlefield against seven rival tanks, wreck them for points, grab repair crates, and climb the live scoreboard. No account, no lobby — open and you're in.
About Tank Arena
Tank Arena is a .io game in the proper sense: you open the page and you are immediately in a match, with seven rival tanks already driving around a battlefield much larger than your screen, already fighting each other whether you show up or not.
You drive with one hand and aim with the other — the hull turns where you're going, the turret points wherever your cursor is, and that split is what makes the game feel good. You can reverse away from a fight while still firing into it. The arena is scattered with boulders that block shells as well as tanks, so the whole match becomes a slow circling contest around cover, and the minimap in the corner is usually the difference between a fight you chose and one that chose you.
Repair crates respawn constantly and heal thirty-five points, which means the tank that controls the crates controls the match. Every kill is worth a hundred points and pushes you up the live scoreboard, but wrecked bots respawn with most of their score intact and come straight back, so a lead has to be defended rather than banked. Your best score is saved.
Inside Tank Arena: what we checked
The numbers below come from Tank Arena's own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- You are one of 8 tanks in a 2,000 × 1,500 arena, against 7 computer tanks. Each tank has 100 health and every shell does 26 damage, so it takes four hits to wreck one.
- You fire at most about 2.4 shells a second (one every 0.42 seconds). A shell travels 520 pixels a second and lasts 1.6 seconds, so it reaches roughly 830 pixels. Rocks stop shells, and they also stop tanks.
- A kill is worth 100 points. A green crate restores 35 health and gives you 25 points, and a new crate appears somewhere else as soon as one is taken.
- You have one life. When you are wrecked the run ends and you are told where you finished among the 8 tanks, ranked by score.
- Computer tanks come back 2.2 seconds after they are wrecked, with a 2-second shield, but keep only 60% of their old score. You start with a 2.5-second shield.
- The computer tanks head for crates until you come within about 520 pixels, then chase you and shoot from about 430. They aim at where you are now, not where you are going, so keeping moving works. Your best score is kept in this browser.

How to play Tank Arena
Drive with WASD or the arrow keys and aim with your mouse — the turret tracks your cursor independently of the direction you're driving. Click or press Space to fire. Shells do twenty-six damage, so it takes four clean hits to wreck a tank. Green crates scattered around the arena repair thirty-five health and are worth points, and boulders block shells for you as well as against you. Every kill scores a hundred points; you're out when your own health hits zero.
Controls
Desktop: WASD or arrow keys to drive, mouse to aim, click or Space to fire, M to mute. Touch: the on-screen stick drives and the red button fires; the turret tracks your drive direction.
Tips & tricks
- Use the boulders. Circling a rock while reloading is the single most effective habit in the game, because shells stop dead against cover.
- The hull and turret are independent, so back away from a fight while still firing into it rather than turning your side to an enemy to escape.
- Whoever controls the repair crates controls the match. Thirty-five health is more than a full shell of damage, so contesting a crate is usually worth the risk.
- Watch the minimap rather than the fight in front of you. Most deaths come from a second tank arriving while you were winning a one-on-one.
Frequently asked questions

Whether it opens comes down to your network's filter rather than the game itself.
