Walkthrough
- 1After the Drone Tank war, head to Bleak Island. The bridges will raise, and you cannot lower them until the boss battle is complete.
- 2Seven Cobra Tanks will appear: six standard Cobra Drone Tanks and the boss, the Cloudburst Tank.
- 3If spotted by the Cloudburst, run. It's powerful, fast, and will alert other enemies.
- 4Isolate and destroy the six standard Cobra Drone Tanks first.
- 5To destroy Cobra Tanks, outmaneuver them, shoot them in the glowing section on their backs, and avoid their lock-on attacks.
- 6Use Bleak Island's environment (side-alleys, ramps, sewer areas, tunnels) to your advantage and keep an eye on the mini-map to avoid being cornered.
- 7Once all six Cobra Tanks are destroyed, focus on the Cloudburst Tank.
- 8Scan the Cloudburst Tank with Detective Mode while avoiding its vision cone (small white triangle on the mini-map) to identify four weak spots.
- 9Phase 1: Hit and Run
- 10Sneak up on the Cloudburst while it's not looking and shoot one of the weak spots.
- 11The Cloudburst will enrage, and a meter will appear. It will chase you at full speed, firing death lasers and holographic attack indicators.
- 12Race through the streets, break line of sight, and avoid the landing sites of its attacks.
- 13Shoot the weak spots and run away four times to trigger Phase 2.
- 14Phase 2: Destroy the Core
- 15The Cloudburst's mega laser is disabled, but it can now fire grenades and up to three lock-on missiles simultaneously.
- 16Shoot the exposed, orange core on the tank's body to damage it.
- 17Use buildings or blocks of buildings as cover to kite the tank, block missile strikes, and get clean shots.
- 18Continuously shoot the tank with your main cannon when it recharges and your machine gun in the interim.
- 19Use dodge to avoid grenade indicators and shoot down missiles.
- 20Keep attacking until the Cloudburst Tank is destroyed.
