Flood tank form/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

{{Cleanup}}

The best way to take a Tank Form down is by simply shooting it in its head or mouth before it can spit [[Pod infector|Infection Forms]], though once hit it will often cover with one arm for protection. If you hit its mouth with a projectile weapon (ex. Battle Rifle) it will count the shot as a head shot. All [[Flood combat form|Flood Combat Forms]] have this supposed "head mouth". If you want to kill it with one hit, since normal melee attacks usually take more than one, use the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] or [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. Or just throw a grenade that can stick to it, like a [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]], [[Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimatériel Incendiary Grenade|Fire Bomb Grenade]], or [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]] and it will kill it instantly, or you can just simply melee it with a [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]]. A melee attack with a [[Type-25 Carbine|Brute Spiker]] also seems to be effective although it may require more than one strike.

*Grenades such as the [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenade]], [[Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimatériel Incendiary Grenade|Fire Bomb Grenade]], and [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]] are effective if stuck near the mouth, and it's a sure fire kill. Bear in mind that the [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenades]] can also be effective if they land directly below Tank Form as the spikes could kill it.
