Debugging invisibility so I don’t die. I’m also not doing this on my main save.
Test: M3 recoilless rifle
Results: HEDP kills it in one hit, dear zombie Jesus. HE nearly kills it. Both are good options, and the smoke rocket would make a good cover while you aimed. Would recommend, as long as you spot the tank drone before it spots you.
Test: explosives
Results: C4 causes moderate injury. Dynamite kills in one hit. Grenade causes light injury. Mininuke kills in one hit, but is almost certainly overkill. I assume a mininuke launcher would have the same or similar effect. LAW kills in one hit. Your best bet is probably to carry around a stick of dynamite at all times.
Test: unmodified V29 laser pistol
Results: Shots are not powerful enough to penetrate the tank’s armor. D not use.
Test: explosive crossbow bolts
Results: Five shots, the number of explosive bolts I created, kills a tank drone. Regular bolts simply bounce off the tank’s armor. Would not recommend, tank wandered everywhere before I could kill it. That’s plenty of time to rip a normal player a new one.
Test: EMP grenades
Results: Causes moderate damage. Would not recommend.
Test: 40mm grenades, fired from an M79 launcher
Results: Concussive causes moderate damage. Flechette causes moderate damage, but is short-range. Frag causes light damage, most shrapnel bounces off the tank’s plating. Incendiary causes light damage and obscures the target in smoke and fire, until it decides to wander out. Buckshot causes light damage, and is short-range. Concussive is the best, but none are very good options. Would not recommend.
Test: 20x66mm shotgun rounds, fired by a RM228c short shotgun
Results: Explosive deals heavy damage. Flechette deals light damage. Frag deals light to moderate damage. Slug deals light to moderate damage. Explosive is best, and surprisingly better than a 40mm grenade launcher. Would recommend, but only if another option is not available.
Test: tazer, electroshock unit with bare hands
Results: Tazer deals very light damage. Electroshock deals heavy damage, but no noticeable difference over just beating the thing to death with my hands. I have 81 strength on a good day, and I can easily punch the the thing to death. Would not recommend unless you are a god.
Test: Mossberg with flechette rounds
Results: Moderate to light damage. Takes 6 shots to kill. Would not recommend.
Test: road rollers and electromagnetic unit
Results: COMPLETE OBLITERATION but also very hard to set up in a normal setting. Do it if you can, but otherwise try something else.
Test: the player taking a SEVERAL 120mm HEAT to the face
Results:
THIS IS WHY I MADE A BACKUP, NOOBKID YOU SUICIDAL BASTARD
