Gepard



"One of the fastest robots. Considerably outperforms most of the light robots"

Introduction
The Gepard is a light robot with 3 light hardpoints. It was released in version 0.6.1.

Strategy
This robot has a fixed speed of 58 km/h, making it one of the fastest robots at base level. By comparison, the Cossack doesn’t reach the same speed until level 9 (however, the Cossack can jump, and jumping is faster than walking). The high speed allows it to capture beacons effectively.

The Gepard is a decent robot for hit and run tactics with decent firepower. Equipping three Pinatas or Punishers will make this robot perform well in close combat. This robot can sometimes be seen with two to three Magnums or triple Aphids. Their agility allows them to dodge heavy gunfire as well as quickly change position to get into the range of targets.

Trivia

 * Once appeared on the War Robots app icon with 2 × Punishers and a Molot.
 * The word Gepard means 'Cheetah' in German.
 * The Gepard may be named after the Flakpanzer Gepard, a German WW2 SPG.
 * Used to cost silver but was changed to cost 1,200 gold. In a more recent update this was reduced to 250, a much more reasonable price.
 * The robot’s head and thigh used to strongly resemble German Flakpanzer Gepard’s turret and hull before the redesign.
 * In update 1.4.2, the Gepard had a visual redesign.
 * Although the redesign heavily changed the Gepard’s appearance, some details of the back of the robot are leftover from the previous design.
 * It was one of the most popular robots for farming, which is playing at low tiers for the sole purpose of getting gold, or silver. Presently, Gold Farming has become outdated and the Gepard has fallen out of favor for most players.
 * It is actually worth its price in the "starter pack", suggested to new players for a $5 flat price.
 * It is one of the two Gold Bots who do not have an ability other than superior firepower, the other being the Fury.
 * With the introduction of newer robots, the Gepard is considered outdated, and has lost some of its appeal as a beacon capturer or skirmisher.
