SHREDDER TANK
The Shredder Tank is a very large Automaton vehicle and variant of the Annihilator Tank that has its main armament replaced with a Quad-linked, Heavy Fusion Cycler turret.
TACTICAL BRIEF
• The Shredder Tank's turret is deadly, even at close range, due to its high rate of fire, relatively short reload, and fast rotation speed that can easily track and kill Helldivers.
• Climbing onto a Shredder Tank is ill-advised due to its turret's rotation speed and height; it is only safe to be on top of the turret itself.
• The Shredder Tank's turret vent is vulnerable to Medium armor-piercing weapons
• Recommended stratagems to use to dispatch Tanks are Eagle Airstrikes, Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods, Eagle 500kg Bomb, Orbital Precision Strike, Orbital Railcannon Strike or Orbital Laser. The Orbital Precision Strike needs to be a direct hit to destroy the Tank.
• EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank and LAS-99 Quasar Cannon need 2 shots to destroy the turret or 1 shot if hitting close to the vent towards the rear of the turret from the side.
• Two G-123 Thermites or one shot to the hull from the FAF-14 Spear can destroy the Tank.
• The rear chassis of a Tank is also vulnerable to weaponry such as the APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle, AC-8 Autocannon, and R-36 Eruptor.
• Tanks can be immobilized by destroying its tracks using Medium armor-piercing weapons.
• The Tank's tracks will do constant damage to a Helldiver that makes contact with it.
• A destroyed Tank is a convenient defense position that a Helldiver can briefly utilize.
• Destroying a Tank by a landing on it with a Hellpod will give little time for Helldivers to escape the explosion.
ATTACKS
Weapons and melee strikes this unit can perform. Each card shows the wiki's illustration, a one-line description, and the full stat table (Damage, Armor Penetration, Fire Rate, Stagger, etc). Values are passed through verbatim, so multi-line cells like "350RPM (2-Round Burst) / 1.2s (Between Bursts)" stay readable.
Once tuned to down Aircraft. The Quad Heavy Fusion Cycler has found new purpose against ground targets. Living up to its name, the Shredder Heavy Tank can unleash blistering amounts of bolts against infantry, often reducing them to messy ribbons.
