Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 feature a special infected character aptly named "The Tank." These giant monsters are arguably the most powerful Infected in the franchise. Their ability to tear through an entire squad with minimal effort makes them the deadliest mini-bosses players have to face.

The Tank is built like a... well, you only need to look at the brute to know where it gets its name. It can appear at any time and in any place throughout the games, making the Tank an unwelcome surprise whenever it shows its ugly head.

It is next to impossible to take on the Tank singlehandedly. Doing so is all but guaranteed suicide, so players need to team up to take one on. Even when this happens, there's still a good chance the Tank will run through every player in the squad, as it can take one hell of a beating.

Defeating the Tank requires teamwork, precision, and above all else, ammo. You can hit it with Molotov Cocktails as much as possible while spraying it with bullets from afar. While doing this, be sure to keep moving, or it will take advantage of a stationary player and wipe them off the map.
