Helldivers 2 Annihilator Tank is one of the challenges provided by the missions in the game. The reason is, this type of tank is similar to the Shredder tank type, but is more deadly and more fully armed.

Additional note, the Annihilator Tank is one of the armored vehicles owned by the Automaton Faction. You would be wrong if you thought that this faction only had rows of killer robots. This faction is also equipped with various kinds of vehicles designed to destroy Super Earth.

As members of the elite troops from Super Earth, we will later meet this vehicle at the upper level. So, you will have enough time to practice your skills and instincts before meeting him.

Apart from being fully armed, the Annihilator Tank also has a thick protective layer made from a mixture of steel and metal ore which is designed not to penetrate ordinary AR type weapon bullets.

Therefore, you have to know specifically how to deal with this vehicle if you encounter it on the battlefield.

Through the following article, the author will answer your curiosity. Listen carefully to the information that the author will describe below. Without further ado, let's get into the main discussion.

As the author explained a little above, the Annihilator Tank is part of the Automaton Faction.

This armored vehicle has a striking difference from the Shredder Tank. Namely, equipped with a long barrel gun, instead of a long cannon like tanks in general.

Apart from that, his stature was taller, and also slimmer. This model is implemented on this type of Tank, in order to minimize enemy attacks from all directions, thereby creating blind spots that can be exploited for counterattacks.

The Annihilator Tank has two main weapons mounted on the lip of the tank's gun valve. The first is the light machine gun, and also the artillery cannon which causes an area attack effect.

To find it, you can carry out missions with a difficulty level of 5 and above. However, if you have entered difficulty level 6, then you should no longer be surprised if you meet him often.

You should also know that the Annihilator Tank can only be found in the part of the galactic war map that is occupied by the Automaton Faction.

Tips and Tricks to Beat It

Because he is part of the Automaton Faction, you can use a loadout combo consisting of:

  • Primary: Plas-1 Scorcher or Sickle energy weapon
  • Secondary: Redeemer pistol or Grenade Pistol
  • Grenades: Stun
  • Armor: Light or Medium Armor
  • Stratagems: Quasar Cannon + Personal Shield Generator + Orbital Railcannon Strike, Orbital Laser, or Eagle 500kg Bomb

If you already know what loadout you need to carry, then we will go into the strategy discussion. First, take advantage of the existing distance. If you see an Annihilator from a distance, try not to be seen by them.

Not without reason, this aims to avoid area attacks which are very deadly. To counterattack, you can take advantage of this tank's blind spot. That is, at close range.

Lure the Annihilator Tank at a certain distance, then start attacking from behind the driver's entrance, and continue with bomb spam, to destroy the weapon.
