Stun

see also: Status Effects and Augments

You're driving. You're shooting. And then, in the blink of an eye, you're a brick. You've been Stunned. In this article, you can learn all there is to know about this stunningly powerful effect.

Mechanics

Stun is a Status Effect applied by certain specialized pieces of equipment. When a tank is stunned, four things always happen:

Hull can no longer drive or turn
Turret can no longer turn, shoot, charge up, or reload
The stunned tank will drop the flag or ball
Supplies and overdrive cannot be activated
- Stunned tanks will see red indicators blocking activation:

In addition, depending on the type of stun, the additional effects may occur:

If the stun comes from Hunter's overdrive, already-activated overdrive objects (Titan's dome generator, Wasp's bomb, or Ares's energy ball) will be destroyed.

Some important things to note:

Already-active supplies stay in effect, and drop boxes (including Gold Boxes can still be taken if the tank happens to be stunned where they fall.
Tanks retain their momentum, so fast-moving tanks (especially hovering ones) may still slide after a stun
Tanks near control points (CP, SGE) will continue to capture them.
Overdrives about to fire are interrupted (Hunter, Crusader, and Ares have a warm-up period; getting stunned during this warmup prevents the activation)
Stunned tanks will have this symbol above them: If you are stunned, or were the one that did the stunning, you will also see the text Stunned briefly appear above the affected tanks.

Protection

The Juggernaut is immune to all negative status effects.

Mammoth's Overdrive removes all negative status effects and makes the tank immune to them.

Immediately after spawning, all tanks are immune to negative status effects.

Stuns also do not affect tanks wearing the Stun Immunity hull augment, which can be purchased for 4990 (or less, during a sale), or obtained from a Container or Ultra Container, with Epic rarity level.
