Learn the best strategies to destroy the incoming tanks in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. This guide covers Panzerfaust tactics and optimal positioning.
Alright, Objective 4 is all about taking down some heavy armor. The game calls it destroying 'the incoming tank,' but trust me, you're going to face *multiple* tanks, and it's going to take a good chunk of time. The Captain might tell you to hop on the Flak 88, but honestly, it leaves you way too exposed. I always grab a Panzerfaust and handle them myself – much safer!
You can find two Panzerfausts inside the main bunker, and there's a whole box of them waiting for you in the trench. Before we dive into taking out each tank, a super important tip: use quicksave constantly. Seriously, save before and after you destroy every single tank. There's usually a short lull between them, which is the perfect time to sprint back to the bunker. It's got two green health packs and one large one, so you can restock and heal up. You might see some regular soldiers trying to make a run for it, feel free to take them out if you want, but your main priority is the tanks.
The First Tank: This one rolls in from the south. Your first move is to get inside the bunker and grab a Panzerfaust from the stairwell. Peek out through the gap in the bunker wall and you should spot the tank moving along the riverbank. Equip your iron sights, take aim, and fire. If you miss, don't sweat it – just hit F9 twice to reload your last save, or if you forgot to save, head back for another Panzerfaust.
The Second Tank: This bad boy approaches from the north. Grab a Panzerfaust from the trench this time. Now, hug the road that runs between the river and the buildings next to the trench – don't go around the bunker. You'll see the tank coming down this road. Your best bet is to lie down right in the middle of the road, equip your iron sights, and fire when you've got a clear shot. Hopefully, you'll nail it!
The Third Tank: Yep, another one from the south, just like the first. Follow the same strategy: head back to the bunker, grab a Panzerfaust, and wait for it to appear from that direction. Aim carefully and take it down.
The Fourth Tank: This one comes in from the northeast. Grab a Panzerfaust and make your way to the trench. Wait there, keeping an eye out for any German soldiers who might try to get you while you're waiting. You'll see the tank pass by the gap at the far end of the trench. As it moves, line up a shot and aim for its side.
The Fifth Tank: Okay, this one is a real pain to hit, but seriously, *do not* get on the Flak 88. You'll be toast before you know it. Your best bet is to grab another Panzerfaust and head back into the bunker. Go all the way to the corner where those health packs are. Crouch down on top of those little storage boxes and use your iron sights. This is a critical moment, so Warning: quicksave right now! Your strategy here is to fire, see exactly where your shot lands, and if you miss, reload and adjust your aim. Save again once you destroy it – you really don't want to have to repeat this one.
The Sixth and Final Tank: This last tank follows the same route as the fourth, so grab a Panzerfaust and wait in the trench for it to appear. Sometimes, if you hit the fourth tank just right, it can be hard to see this last one coming. If that happens, just head back up to the bunker and look towards where the tank should be rolling by. Take your shot, and that's the end of the tanks!
