Stun

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, turn, or self-destruct
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)
Overdrive charge continues to increase in percentage while stunned
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.

What can Stun a Tank?

Hunter's Overdrive
A long-time favorite of those who love to throw a wrench in their enemy's plans.

In addition to inflicting an EMP on nearby opponents, Hunter's overdrive stuns all enemies within 25 meters for 3 seconds.
The Stun takes effect immediately upon zapping, which occurs after the 1.1-second overdrive warmup.

Hopper's Overdrive
Perfect for a quick getaway, this overdrive is frequently used to sail over helpless enemies.

In addition to setting nearby tanks on Fire, Hopper's Detonation Jump stuns all enemies within 20 meters for 1 second.
The Stun takes effect instantly.

Wasps' Overdrive
This small hull's stinger is a devastating N2 bomb.

In addition to a brief EMP and a long burn, Wasp's bomb stuns all enemies that survive its blast for 1 second.

Additionally, there are currently three turret augments that can stun tanks, which can be obtained in Ultra Containers at the Legendary rarity.
