      Unreliable. I've encounter many a tank without the music playing (in fact it happened just today on Death Toll).

      The stomping you could use, but that's still risky considering how close you have to be for the screen to start shaking.

            Which leads me to another tip: The tank hits multiple players if they're in range of one attack.

            Also, the witch will sometimes kill a player that gets in the way too much of it's target (afterwards it will just focus on you, ignoring it's original target).

              Today we had a smoker start attacking a witch, that was pretty interesting. But we also had some major server problems, we tried 3 different ones and after about 1 level or less they would crash. Pretty annoying...

                  Trust me, it happens. Sometimes the game just decides to throw you a stealth Tank for whatever reason....

                    I think that's only when the Tank is already in the level. I was on Rooftop Finale in those lil offices before you go to the roof and we could hear his breathing, but we didnt hear any music.
                    The Tank was hiding in one of those offices and when one of us walked into it, music started and he started attacking.

                    BTW For the ones who don't know what Outbreak is: It started with a few people who had outbreak. When they vomitted on someone, the Outbreak spread to them. If they vomit on someone who don't have Outbreak yet, they get it too and so on.

                    Saw this on some topic in these forums, maybe on the third page? :p

                      shotgun at front crouching, M16's, Uzis, snipers standing behind firing overhead.

                        In general, it helps to layer two crouching and two behind standing. (Oli and Hawkers would be good at this strategy).

                        Especially when you're hiding in a closet or something.

                              if you have a tank on expert you use retreat and fire, 2 people shoot at the tank while the other 2 fall back, the the 2 that were firing retreat while being covered by the other 2

                              if you have some m16s and people that can aim he goes down in no time

                              otherwise set him on fire and run away until the 40 seconds are up and he insta dies
