In Modern Warfare 2 (CODMW2 2022), players get to fight an enemy tank as a boss in the game. Get to know how to defeat this tank, tips, and more using this guide.
Also, spoilers ahead.
The tank is encountered as the boss of the sixteenth mission, “Ghost Team“. This encounter happens after the storming and retaking of the Shadow Company headquarters. Controlling Soap, you must head to the base’s training grounds to confront and destroy the tank.
Graves, the leader of Shadow Company, pilots the tank that patrols the training grounds. He is accompanied by his men during the fight. He acts as a boss and one of the hardest fights in the game with his incredibly durable tank.
There are two methods to take down the Graves’ tank:
Note that the tank requires a couple of hits to down. During my run, I used a combination of C4 charges and RPG to take it down. You can also see it getting weaker with its hull getting blacker and covered with flames.
C4s are widely available in the field and one can be found inside or just outside each of the structures. Make your way through while dodging the tank’s turrets and get these orange boxes for a C4. Stick them onto the tank when it passes and detonate it. You can equip two C4 charges at a time and detonate them both together for massive damage.
You can also find RPGs inside the arena, notably near the edges. They are hard to find compared to readily available C4s. However, they are also extremely easy to use as you only need to point it at the tank to deal damage. No need to get intimate as you would with the C4 as you can attack from afar with the RPG.
The tank has two ways of firing at you: it’s main barrel and its gun turret. Both can rotate independent of each other and can kill you if you are out in the open. Use the walls as cover but try not to linger for too long and move from cover to cover. Why not stay in one position you say? Well…
While it’s a good strategy to just dash out, plant C4, then hide at the same spot, it rarely works as walls can crumble during this fight. The tank can use its turret to blast down walls and engage you with its hail of bullets from its auto-turret. Not only that but enemy infantry can also use these destroyed walls to target and flank you. So yeah, running and jumping from cover to cover is probably best here.
As mentioned above, the tank is accompanied by enemy infantry. Not just ordinary ones but armored guys too. Watch out for these patrols and try to quickly dispatch them once they come out. They usually spawn in groups of four.
