The Tank Boss - Revisited

Get an in-depth look at the Forest level’s Tank Boss following the demo’s latest update!



One of the first design changes was having the boss enter from the right as usual, but now we’ve added dead and infected bodies on the ground to give a sense of dread at the first boss fight.

[h2]Updated Visuals - Old and New![/h2]
The boss itself has undergone a significant redesign! We wanted to move away from presenting the Tank as just a...well, tank...that was overgrown with Meat tendrils and flesh. Lead game developer Ivan took things a step further by giving the boss a gaping mouth and eyes to make it even more frightening!

OLD VERSION: NEW VERSION:

[h2]Meat Round & Energy Cannon![/h2]
One big change to the Tank boss pertains to its opening attack, where it used to fire two energy projectiles from its main and lower cannons. HOWEVER! The updated demo now replaces the top energy projectile with a solid Meat round, which, like the blue energy projectile in the previous version, will float up and down after it’s fired.


[h2]Double Particle Radiation Beam![/h2]
Another change involves the Tank boss’s second attack, which further punishes any player who is foolish enough to jump. While the attack may look cool, you’ll still want to go prone to avoid the radiation beams!


[h2]Toxic Rain - Once Again![/h2]
One attack that hasn’t gone through any significant changes is the Toxic Rain! Like the previous version of the fight, the boss will shoot out multiple toxic bubbles that will multiply into even more bubbles as they descend towards the ground! And just like the previous version, you’ll want to shoot at the bubbles in the air to eliminate them before they reach you!


We've got more updates on the way, so be on the lookout for the next transmission!
