Helldivers 2 has added a new tank, the Bastion Mk XVI. It's a heavily armored tank destroyer with a 120mm cannon and a machine gun. You can get this tank for free, so you won't need to pick a Warbond to pick this up. If you want to wipe out Automatons, Tyranids, and Illuminates to protect Super-Earth, here's a complete guide on how to get the Bastion Tank.
How to Get a Bastion Tank in Helldivers 2
Getting the Bastion Tank is free for players, but you'll need Requisition Slips — 35,000 of them to be exact. You can find the tank under the Hanger Stratagems section.
To check whether the tank is available in your Loadout for a mission, find it under the Supply Category with the name TD-220 Bastion Mk XVI. Once you have it in your Loadout, you're ready to use it for battle.
How to Use a Bastion Tank in Helldivers 2
Now that you know how to get a Bastion Tank, you need to learn how to use it. Knowing how the tank functions can help you defeat any threat against Super-Earth. Calling in a Bastion Tank takes 10.50 seconds and lands from a Gunship.
You need the Strategem Command: Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Down, Up, Down, Up, to use it.
The tank has unlimited uses; the only downside is that the cooldown to call in another one if the tank is destroyed is 12 minutes.
The Bastion Tank can accommodate up to 4 players. It has four seats, and each one has a purpose
- The tank's front seat lets you become the driver.
- The back seat of the tank allows one player to control the cannon and machine gun.
- The top of the tank features 2 seats for players to sit in and use their primary weapons while on the move.
The tank isn't designed for solo players. So, if you want to use the cannon or machine gun during a match, you need another player to drive for you. The tank is a Co-Op Strategem and is best used in search-and-destroy missions.
