Tanks in Sniper Elite: Resistance are the loud, lumbering show-offs of the game. Sure, they look tough, but don’t let the heavy armor fool you, they’ve got weak spots, and you’ve got the skills to exploit them. Taking down one of these metal monstrosities isn’t about brute force; it’s about playing it smart and making them regret showing up in the first place.

It’s kill or be killed in Sniper Elite: Resistance’s Axis Invasion mode.
Whether you prefer precise sniper shots or the good old ‘blow it all up’ approach, this guide has you covered. So, get ready to turn that tank’s arrogance into a fiery explosion of regret. Stay sharp, stay sneaky, and let’s show these walking piles of scrap who’s boss.
How To Destroy Tanks
Your most reliable option to destroy tanks is to use armor-piercing ammo, specifically targeting weak points on the tank. Look for the two glowing red exhausts at the rear. By shooting these, you’ll create a hole that exposes the engine.
Focus mode will highlight the exact spots you need to aim for, glowing red to guide your shots.
Once the engine is exposed, a few well-placed shots will cause the tank to explode. A fast-firing sniper rifle works best for this approach, as it allows you to get several shots off quickly before the tank can retaliate.
If you prefer a less precision-based method, explosives are your go-to solution. You can use TNT, Satchel charges, or Teller Mines to destroy the tank.
Watch out! The explosion is massive. Stay behind cover or at a safe distance, or it could seriously harm or even kill you.
The key to surviving a tank encounter is patience. Unlike you, the tank is slow and cumbersome. Use this to your advantage by taking cover and moving carefully to stay out of its line of sight. Avoid rushing into open spaces where the tank’s firepower can overwhelm you. Remember, you have agility and precision on your side, so use them wisely to outmaneuver your heavily armored opponent.
