Teams

 * The maximum 4 have been changed into a "royale" system, where 16 teams start off with nothing less than mining tanks until the carriers are introduced. "Endgame", a point where no more teams can be made, is started when 4 teams remain.
 * The otherwise gamepass-only color system is free for use, with every color from Really red to Really black.
 * Bases made by the Colonizer have 1/4 of the health than otherwise in the normal game (16000/18000 to 4000/3000)
 * Communications are more vulnerable than normal.

Buildings

 * Tanks are now able to be constructed without a Tank Builder or it's upgraded versions. However, Battleships or higher must be built with one, or a Type 2 base.
 * The Core, the center building usually during Seize the Core, can appear if the game's selected state is The Core.
 * Bridges have 2x their health (3000/5000 to 6000/10000) and have "reinforced structural bars and shit" according to the developer.

Tanks

 * Every tank below Battleship (as mentioned above) do not need Tank Builders. Battleships and higher must require one.
 * Every Carrier, Mothership, and Flagship have gamepasses with ROBUX reaching from 200-900 for, quoted by the developer, "money saving reasons." This was later destroyed; carriers, motherships, and flagships are free now!
 * Health is buffed to reasonable amounts (200-17500).
 * Damage is buffed to reasonable amounts (45-1500).
 * Shield is buffed to reasonable amounts (100-3000).

Non-tanks

 * Turrets All turrets; Cremator, Wrecker, Sierra, Radar Tower, and Everything-Blaster deal 100-1000 damage.
 * Factories produce a fifth substance known as Tankium once every 12 ingame hours (12 minutes).

Artificial intelligence

 * Throughout the game, corrupted Tanks will spawn. They will attack any tanks they can find and can range from normal Tanks to straight up Stormfronts.

Trivia

 * Several massive wars have been fought on Tanker Arcade. These include the Great War of 5/12, The 16-Side War, and even the Massacre of Metal Fortress. They can rack up serious amount of damages; alone, the 16-Side War destroyed 795 tanks from every side, which costed about 2.68 million TankBux; this equalled about 71.5 thousand US dollars.
