As you battle for democracy in Helldivers 2 you’re going to need to fight off a lot of different enemies, and if you’ve seen the behemoth that is the Annihilator Tank online, then you may be wondering how to beat it.
Where to find Annihilator Tanks
You can only find these tanks on Automaton planets, so you will need to look on the left-hand side of the Command Console when choosing your next objective.
In addition to being limited to Automaton planets, you will also need to have reached difficulty level Hard for them to appear. Although they can appear on Hard, they will become a lot more common once you hit Extreme.
How to destroy Annihilator Tanks
Destroying the tanks offers a challenge, but with your wits about you and some Stratagems, you should stand a chance. Here are some tips for taking out one of the more challenging enemies in the game:
- Aim for the glowing vents around the back
- Use Heavy Explosive Stratagems
- Try to fight where there is some cover
- If you can climb on top of it, it can’t hit you (this is a very high-risk strategy)
- The turret is also weaker than the body
