- It is recommended to keep your distance from a Tank with this ability. Ranged weapons are a little less effective due to it absorbing most of the damage you and your teammates deal. If you have a bile bomb but are low on supplies and ammo, use it on the tank. The common infected will slow it down to give your team enough time for a running start for the saferoom or supplies.
- Use your bot teammates as cannon fodder for the Tank's damage. Conserve your ammunition and rely on melee weapons and molotovs. If you're in an environment where water can extinguish the Tank, just have the bots distract it.
- Take turns to get the Tank's attention. The crucial part about beating this Tank is sticking as a team and inflicting damage onto it as much as possible while it focuses on one teammate. Molotovs and melee weapons are recommended for dealing decent damage, and be sure to conserve your ammunition. As long as you and your teammates are prepared with ammo and other supplies, beating this Tank should be an easy task.
-
Shield: A Mutant Tank with Absorb and Shield will most likely drain 90% of your ammo and supplies. Be prepared with a molotov and take out its shield as much as you can. An ammo pile nearby will be essential in fighting a tank with this combo.
-
Ammo: The tank already soaks up most of the damage you dish out and drains most of your ammo before the fight is over. With the Ammo ability, It will overwhelm any unprepared team. Make sure there's a nearby ammo pile or extra weapons your team can run back to when possible.
