Flood tank form

The Flood Tank Form is a type of Flood Pure Form.

Description
Tank Forms are quite slow in comparison to Combat Forms, but they make up for it with relative resilience and devastating melee attacks. They can run on all fours for a short period, allowing a short burst of speed to overtake a target. Tank Forms can spew a torrent of Infection Forms from their 'mouth' as a form of short ranged attack, or in order to infect nearby corpses.

Tactics

 * When shot, the Tank Forms usually cover their faces (which are usually their weak spots) with the bonny plates on their arms. Try to avoid shooting the plates as they don't take any damage.
 * Tank Forms are usually very slow except for the moments where they charge. Try to flank them, but do not move away too much as it may transform into a Ranged Form or Stalker Form to chase after you or to shoot from a distance.
 * They are very resilient to most firearms, although plasma seems to affect them more than normal ballistic weaponry. Melee weapons like the Energy Sword and the Gravity Hammer and most power weapons work very well against them.

Trivia

 * Tank forms are the only Flood Pure Forms that are not able to cling onto walls.
 * They are very similar in appearance to the Flood Thrasher Form.
 * There is an easy way to kill a Tank Form other than using a Energy Sword. If you just melee him in between the two tentacles on his head he will die instantly, although it can be hard to hit it in the kill spot if it's swinging its arms and moving around.
