Tips/Strategies

General/Fundamentals

• Keep your distance from the Tank at all times, regardless of what abilities it may have.
• You should only close in when the Tank is distracted or stunned.
• Check if the Tank is immune to bullets, fire, explosives, melee hits, and/or bile bombs, and adapt accordingly.
• Take off-angles and chip away at the Tank from different directions. Rotate to different positions when you are being targeted.
• Take initiative by distracting the Tank when you see it focusing one of your teammates.
• Maintain uptime by constantly dealing damage and looking for ways to help your team.
• Be aware of your surroundings and don't fight the Tank indoors or near environmental obstacles, such as water.
• Making a run for the saferoom is not advised unless you are the only one left standing and the Tank still has a lot of health. It's better to finish off the Tank as a team.

Solo

• Use your bot teammates as distractions for the Tank.
• You will mainly have to rely on melee weapons and fire sources to kill it as quickly as possible.

Multiplayer

• You and your teammates will have to take turns distracting the Tank.
• Conserve your ammunition as much as possible and try to rely solely on melee weapons and throwables.
• If you can stun the Tank, gang up on it as a team with melee weapons to finish it off quickly.

Combining with other abilities

• When this ability is combined with other abilities, it can be a lot harder to kill the Tank. Apply the fundamentals listed above and bait out other abilities to get them out of the way (unless they are one-shot abilities).
• The Tank can only be as oppressive as you allow it to be. As long as you play smart, either solo or with a team, it won't matter what abilities the Tank has.
