Left 4 Dead 2 Guide

Ok so this is a list of what you need to do and NOT to do when fighting a Tank


To do:

1. Use your andrenaline shot, it will help you outran the Tank(If you ask me then yes, it can help you outran THAT BITCH too).

2. Rifle/SMG are the best primary weapon to fight a Tank, so pick them up when he appeared(if you are near to weapon drop).

3. Most effective throwable weapon against him is molotov and bile bomb. (*)

4. Lure the Tank to a wide ground(egg. the stage on Dark Carnival), you got better chance to fight him there.

5. If you're the one being chased by the Tank, keep running, after you got far away enough, the Tank will change his target(the mechanic on this guy is easy to learn, he will attack the nearest survivor).

6. When he picking up boulder, hide behind some obstacle.

7. The best tactics for fighting a Tank is hit and run, throw a molotov/bile bomb, then ran off for some distance, kite him, repeat the second step, then kite him, then repeat.


NOT TO DO:

1. NEVER fight a Tank when you're in a crowded space. He will murder your team.

2. Don't use shotgun, meelee weapon, it will make you become an easy prey for him.

3. Don't even think about flanking him with shotgun or meelee weapon, he'll turn his back and hit you in no time.

4. Don't try to fight him when you're near some building edge. He can send you flying off the edge, which mean you die immediately.


OPTIONAL

1. Grenade Launcher give you decent damage on him, but it's a double-edge sword. If the Tank get close enough to you, the Grenade Launcher gonna hit you too. 

2. Sniper Rifle is a good weapon for long range attack, but if you're using a bolt-action sniper rifle, it will take you about 2-3 sec to load another bullet. And consider the clip size, I don't use it.

3. Pipe bomb can deal massive damage in 1 blow, but it take some time until it goes off and explode.

4. You can consider using a high-ground to fight the Tank, in the time he climb, he can't do anything.

5. Incendiary ammo are a good replacement for molotov(if you and your team don't have any).


(*)Bile bomb does confuse the Tank, he will attack the common infected that got covered by the bile. 

So that's all. Hope you guys find this helpful.
