The best way to take a Tank Form down is by simply shooting it in its head or mouth before it can spit [[ | 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. | ||
They are extremely tough, they are the Flood's equivalent of a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], and attacks that destroy normal Combat forms with one hit deal far less damage to a Tank Form. They are able to take multiple hits from the Gravity Hammer (only takes one hit if a player hits it '''directly''' between the two tentacles hanging from its face) and the Shotgun, though the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]] seems to make shorter work of them, as will a melee attack in the mouth, usually killing them in one slice. If you shoot it and it crouches, posing as if it were dead, it will come back up when you are close, this rarely happens but make sure it is dead.{{citation needed}} | They are extremely tough, they are the Flood's equivalent of a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], and attacks that destroy normal Combat forms with one hit deal far less damage to a Tank Form.
