Helldivers 2 Annihilator Tanks explained: How to find and kill them
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.

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.
