Gameplay

In Diep.io, the main objective is to earn points by destroying objects and killing other players by firing bullets with a tank, in a 2D arena. Players can get points by destroying different polygon objects with their bullets. By earning points, the tank levels up. This allows tank upgrades too, making players' tanks more powerful. Players can upgrade their tank's stats, such as movement speed and bullet damage. Players can also upgrade their tank to more powerful classes every 15 levels up until level 45, giving them abilities other tanks may not have.[3][4][5] Diep.io also has several different game modes featuring team mechanics.[4][3]
