The best way to take a Tank Form down is by simply shooting it in its head or mouth before it can spit [[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]]s have this supposed "head mouth". If you want a beat down or like to use the [[Energy Sword]] just pull it out, hit the head, and get a one hit kill, or just throw a grenade that can stick to it and it will kill it instantly. Or you can just simply melee it with a [[Brute Shot]]. A melee attack with a [[Brute Spiker]] also seems to be effective although it may require more than one strike. | The best way to take a Tank Form down is by simply shooting it in its head or mouth before it can spit [[Infection Forms]], though once hit it will often cover with one arm for protection.

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.
