Helldivers 2 Annihilator Tanks explained: How to find and kill them
19.03.2024 - 19:03 / radiotimes.com
Helldivers 2 is not an easy game, and taking down an Annihilator Tank is not an easy task, as you might expect.
Fortunately, with our help, you should be able to spot a Helldivers 2 Annihilator Tank and destroy it.
Destroying an Annihilator Tank can appear as a Daily/Personal Order task, meaning you might want to go looking for one to kill to earn some sweet rewards.
These powerful Automaton enemies do not appear unless you’re playing a higher difficulty mission, and pack a one-shot kill cannon attack (along with a nasty machine gun) with a full 360 degree field of view that can kill you at a distance.
Is the risk worth the reward? That’s up to you.
Keep reading to find out how to find Annihilator Tanks in Helldivers 2 and how to kill them.
Annilihator Tanks in Helldivers 2 come from the Automaton faction. This means they can only be found during an Automaton/Bot mission – you won’t find one with the Terminids.
It’s worth noting, too, that Annihilator Tanks should only turn up in Automaton/Bot missions with a difficulty level of Hard and higher.
They are rather rare in Hard missions, however, and are far more likely to make an appearance once you climb up to Extreme missions and above.
It has been claimed that they are more likely to spawn if you’re playing with others in a co-op mission – although this is unconfirmed.
Hop into an Extreme Eradication mission and you’ll come up against a fearsome Annihilator Tank soon enough. Whether you want to, though, is your choice. These things are lethal.

To kill a Helldivers 2 Annihilator Tank, you need to use heavy explosive strategems, such as the Expendable Anti-Tank strategem. Normal weapons won’t deal any damage.
Use any strategem which allows you to use heavy weapons, such as Orbital Lasers, Railguns, a Railcannon strike, 500KG Bomb — anything that is anti-armour and/or fires explosive rounds should work, but you might have to keep plugging away at the Tank to destroy it.
Fortunately, the Annihilator Tank does have a weak point: the glowing vents on its back.
The turret of the Annihilator Tank is said to be a little weaker, too, so definitely aim your rockets, grenades and other powerful heavy explosives at the top of the Tank – don’t bother shooting its body.
Climb on top of the Tank to shoot at its vents; it can no longer hit you with its cannon or machine gun if you’re on top of it. Dropping a Sentry on its head should confuse it, too.
Once you deal enough damage to the Annihilator Tank, smoke and fire will start coming out of its

A Helldivers 2 Player Is Dropping APCs Into Random Games
Helldivers 2 players are still fighting the good fight against Joel, the ever-present games master who is almost single-handedly directing the entire Galactic War. If the Automatons take over a planet, or the Terminids put up a strong fights against Super Earth forces, chances are there will be a group of players angrily shaking their fists at Joel for his tomfoolery.

Helldivers 2 APC video surfaces, showing Joel personally delivering the unreleased vehicle
One of my favourite things about Helldivers 2 is the fact it's home to a human game master, known as "Joel", who controls the narrative. Joel's been known to leave surprises, namely mechs before they officially launched a while back. And now he's seemingly granted a group of lucky players the chance to ride about in an armoured truck outfitted with guns. Maybe, just maybe this signals their imminent release?
