Tips/Strategies

Solo

It is recommended to keep your distance from a Tank with this ability. Use your bot teammates as cannon fodder for the Tank's damage. Conserve your ammunition and rely on melee weapons and molotovs. If you're in an environment where water can extinguish the Tank, just have the bots distract it.

Multiplayer

Take turns getting the Tank's attention. The crucial part about beating this Tank is sticking as a team and inflicting damage onto it as much as possible while it focuses on one teammate. Molotovs and melee weapons are recommended for dealing decent damage, and be sure to conserve your ammunition. As long as you and your teammates are prepared with ammo and other supplies, beating this Tank should be an easy task.
