They are extremely tough, almost like the Flood's equivalent of a [[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 and the Shotgun, though the [[Energy Sword]] seems to make shorter work of them, as will a melee attack in the mouth, usually killing them in one slice. | They are extremely tough, almost like the Flood's equivalent of a [[Hunter]], and attacks that destroy normal Combat forms with one hit deal far less damage to a Tank Form.

Since they are very slow and unable to rush the player, the [[Flamethrower]], or [[Firebomb]]s are a simple, ranged, one-hit option attack against the Tank Forms, though rare. Though beware, they can use all four limbs for locomotion. [[Brute Shots]] are also extremely effective against them because the melee attack with the Brute Shot is an instant kill against them on all difficulties except Legendary, which takes one shot with one hit. [[Plasma Grenade]]s, are also very effective only if they are placed near the head area. A pair of shotgun blasts to a Tank Form's head is sufficient to put it down on Normal difficulty. | Since they are very slow and unable to rush the player, the [[Flamethrower]], or [[Firebomb]]s are a simple, ranged, one-hit option attack against the Tank Forms, though rare.

There is a more unconventional method of jumping onto one's head and either meleeing them or using a powerful weapon, as they are unable to attack above them. | There is a more unconventional method of jumping onto one's head and either meleeing them or using a powerful weapon, as they are unable to attack above them. | ||

*Sticky grenades such as the Spike Grenade, Fire Bomb, and a [[Plasma Grenade]], are effective if stuck near the mouth, and it's a sure fire kill.
