Once you come face to face with an Annihilator Tank, you’ll realize that it’s basically impossible to do damage with regular weapons. You must make use of heavy explosive strategems, such as Railcannon Strikes, Orbital Lasers, Railguns, and 500KG Bomb. And if you’re able to get close, you can take advantage of a weak spot: the vents on its backs.

Getting on top of an Annihilator Tank in Helldivers 2 is no easy task, so make use of the planet’s natural cover on your way to the target. If it gets you on the way, though, you can land your pod on it for a bit of extra damage. Combining all of those methods should force the Annihilator Tank into an early retirement.
