Of all of the ‘tank’ enemies in Helldivers 2, just one is an precise freakin’ tank. The Annihilator Tank is the Automaton reply to the age-old query of “The place did that gap in my chest come from?” Good factor it’s not too robust to kill a Tank in Helldivers 2.

Granted, taking one out does require you to not be standing in entrance of it. Very like different automobiles (reminiscent of Helldiver 2’s personal Hulk) the Annihilator Tank comes with a weak level that’s a online game traditional. It’s good to discover the massive, glowing spot and shoot at it till the machine lies in items. That’s simpler mentioned than completed, often, however with the appropriate firepower and a few fast footwork you can also beat the Tank.

Learn how to tank the Tank in Helldivers 2

One of the simplest ways to kill an Annihilator Tank in Helldivers 2 is to circle round it and shoot the weak level on the again of the turret. A number of issues make this a difficult activity, nevertheless. For one, the Tank’s turret strikes almost as quick as your primary Helldiver run pace. Attending to its again is usually a tall order.

One other challenge is the Tank itself. Just like the Hulk, it is available in variations. However in contrast to the Hulk, the Tank solely has two to boast of: A heavy laser machine gun model, and one other together with your commonplace laser cannon.

Out of each variants, I discovered the machine gun kind to be the trickiest to cope with. I’ve been in a position to outrun the speedy laser hearth by shifting perpendicular to the Tank. However it’s simple to get caught in case you try to duck behind cowl.

• Rocket or Mortar Sentry

Needless to say each the Autocannon and Railgun are finest used in opposition to the Tank’s weak spot. You can kill a tank with a Railgun by focusing on the turret, however it’s an extended, laborious activity that may eat up your ammo. Transfer across the tank, or get an ally to run a distraction so you may hearth on the weak level. Teamwork makes the dream work — and the Tank useless.

Use your fast wits and toes to kill a Tank

One other weak point of the Tank is that, attributable to its measurement, the automobile is gradual and never all that maneuverable. I’ve discovered that in case you try to get it caught on objects like a rock, you may hinder it lengthy sufficient to get to its weak level.

Some fast footwork and:

In the end, I really feel the Tank isn’t usually essentially the most difficult heavy enemy in Helldivers 2. That crown goes to the Charger and its capability to weigh a number of tons and but nonetheless in a position to sneak up on you.
