How to Kill a Tank
Tank Weak Spot Use Explosive and Laser Stratagems Use Anti-Tank Support Weapons Shoot the Vents of a Tank Find Cover Immediately

Tank Weak Spot

Use Explosive and Laser Stratagems

• Eagle 500kg Bomb
• Orbital Laser
• Orbital Railcannon Strike

The easiest way to destroy a Tank is to use offensive Stratagems like the ones listed above. Note that most of these Stratagems are unlocked during the late game.

Use Anti-Tank Support Weapons

• Expendable Anti-Tank
• Recoilless Rifle
• Spear

If you want to destroy a Tank on the ground, the Support Weapons above are the ones that can damage a Tank without shooting its weak spot.

Shoot the Vents of a Tank

All variants' weak spots are the orange vents behind their turrets. Since Tanks are really slow, you can attempt to sneak behind them and shoot the vents.

Use Armor Piercing Support Weapons

• Anti-Materiel Rifle
• Autocannon
• Railgun

Not all weapons can damage a Tank's vents. The Support Weapons like the ones above can pierce through the vents!

Find Cover Immediately

As soon as a Tank spots you, quickly find cover since it can kill you immediately. Note that some structures can be destroyed by a Tank. So get ready to move to another one once the Tank obliterates it!

All Tank Variations

Annihilator Tank

It's a variant of a Tank that uses a cannon as its weapon. When fighting this variant, utilize a cover since its beams can one-shot you!

Shredder Tank

Another variant of a Tank that uses machine guns as its primary weapon. Unlike the Annihilator Tank, this variant cannot one-shot you.
