Helldivers 2 features two distinct Tanks – Shredder and Annihilator. The latter is an aggressive vehicle equipped with a powerful cannon on its top and two machine guns, one located on the front and the other aligned with the cannon. To assist players in locating and eliminating Annihilator Tanks, here is a simple guide.
To locate an Annihilator Tank in Helldivers 2, it is most effective to participate in “Eradicate and Evacuate”missions at the Suicide Mission difficulty level or higher. Through this method, a single dropship will deploy an Annihilator tank that is armed with both a cannon and a dual-barrel machine gun.
Destroying Annihilator Tanks in Helldivers 2
To successfully take down an Annihilator Tank, it is crucial to utilize powerful explosive weapons such as the EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank Stratagem or the Quasar Cannon. The tank’s turret and glowing vents in the rear are its two weaknesses, making them prime targets for your explosives. It is important to focus your attacks on these areas as they are considerably less sturdy than the rest of the tank.
In addition, standing on top of the tank and aiming at its vents is also an effective tactic. Any Stratagem that is armed with a powerful weapon such as Orbital Lasers, Railguns, a Railcannon strike, or the Eagle 500kg Bomb would be a wise selection.
Tips & Tricks
You will be able to tell when the tank has sustained significant damage when smoke and flames begin to emit from its vents. Continue attacking it until it ultimately detonates.
To climb on top of the tank is a challenging feat, as it renders the cannon and two machine guns unable to target you. You may also choose to land your pod on the tank, causing some damage.
The Annihilator Tank has a long firing range, but it also has the ability to run you over despite its slow speed. To avoid this danger, it is best to stay near the sides and back of the tank.
To avoid getting hit, it is crucial to stay out of the line of fire of Annihilator Tanks as they have a 360-degree field of view. It is important to keep moving constantly as there is a brief moment before the cannon fires where the muzzle will glow red. This is your opportunity to seek cover.
This is everything you need to know about destroying Annihilator Tasks. Occasionally, it may be a Daily/Personal Order task that, once completed, will result in rewards. Both locating and destroying an Annihilator Tank are challenging tasks, but where is the enjoyment without a bit of a challenge?
