Background Story
Following the events of the manufacturing of the Pumpkin Bot and the M2 Tripod, Hellish Night noticed that many couldn't afford to purchase the Pumpkin Bot and the M2 Turret being quite unavailing as it left you vulnerable to beefy infected such as the Brute. A year passed by somewhat shortly and after stealing some blueprints in a abandoned military base, with some tests, Hellish Night dropped hundreds of green gifts from the sky, and left some on the online store for more sales. The tank was truly a behemoth. Equipped with the power of the M2 Tripod's bullets, combined with a rocket launcher capable of firing missiles similar to the Tri-Blaster, all while being able to move around, many left their turrets and pumpkin bots in a safe area to use this new beast.
