Post Basic Tank tips for VS


Other things to note that he doesn't mention. All infected do friendly fire and as a tank you can kill your team mates in 1 hit. If a hunter or smoker has someone please make every effort to leave them alone. If you TK your special infected buddies and you prove to be a hazard to them as well you can guarentee they will stay as far away from you as the survivors after a while, and you will have lost a large part of your backup, you need those guys around you and not afraid that you will end them at any second.

Most important of everything is run that rage meter down though if you are in a rubbish position to attack. Sit there and rock throw and the first time you do damage to them it will refill.

Last thing is look for the hittable objects as you walk around the levels and remember their general location, so you know what to head for when you spawn as a tank. Guy in the vid mostly shows cars and then a very brief glimpse of a log at the end. I have found so far that all of these fallen logs can be hit, as well as all of the forklifts. Car or tree are pretty even, I would go, alarmed car> car> tree> forklift in order of preference of use, alarmed car is obvious, alert the horde, then the rest is just surface area based, how much chance you will have of hitting.

That's about all I can think of for now feel free to post any VS Tank tips you have here to.

Oh and my record is 3 human survivors with 1 tree hit incapped at same time. I have managed this twice now against all human opponents, just waiting for the holy grail 4 in 1 hit. :E

Nice tips. I hadn't realised that you could use the logs like cars :s

Did you know that the tank can bust down the saferoom door in some instances? We were playing coop before and got a tank at the start of the stage. We decided to go back into the saferoom and shut the door thinking we could shoot him through it. 2 seconds later, the door gets busted in by a rock thrown by the tank.

I haven't had a chance to test this in versus but I presume it works...

I think it does yeah, I always advise people to get out of the safehouse if you get a Tank off the start because I'm pretty sure he can get through it very fast and then you are trapped in a small space... not good without 4 auto-shotties lol.

Queed: Okay it cant get through there
*Door is busted open*
Me, Dj, Queed and Mehby: Aww ****
