| Damn, I hate those guys, for me, the part in the nexus core was probably the hardest moment in the game. After you kill those 3 light tanks you have to stand against 2 or 3 of those heavy levitators. After you kill one, another will respawn and overall you have to kill about 5 or 6 of them. When you see them you have basically two ways. Either you kill them from distance with machine gun, nailgun or hyberblaster while destroying their rockets. Or you can go near them and pack a lot of nails or whatever you like that will kill them fast. When you are close they're less likely to shoot rockets which are a real pain, two or three can kill you (at least at Lieutenant difficulty). Optionally you can hide and fire a lot of Dark Matter projectiles, like I did when I was angry about reloading the game over and over. | Fexen 17/08/2008 23:00 |
| On the last level, yes it is very difficult, basically you need to position yourself so one is at a side of the room, and one is behind a pipe thing in the middle where it can't see you. Use rockets on the one on the side and whenever he fires a missile back up a bit so it hits the pipe. The thing which will probably be the nail in the coffin for you afterwards are the two stream protectors, although I found them very easy with the Hyperblaster (My favourite weapon aside from the DM Gun.) | Korbac 04/03/2007 17:11 |
| These guys would have been better if they exploded uppon death, ala Quake 2 | Richy0326 13/02/2007 12:38 |
| Machine gun is the best weapon against the heavy hover tanks.Its rapid, powerful and can shoot the incoming rockets. | Phil (BG) 11/02/2007 23:36 |
| HEY ALVIN. IF YOU GOT QUAKE 4 ON PC OPEN THE CONSOLE BY PRESSING CTRL, ALT AND ` ONCE YOU DONE THAT TYPE IN GIVE HEALTH (IT GIVES QUAD DAMAGE ) OR GIVE ALL (IT GIVES ALL WEAPONS AND FULL AMMO)
P.S THE ` BUTTON IS THE BUTTON NEXT TO 1 | RORY 09/12/2006 21:51 |
| If these buggers are anywhere near you, just aim for the bottom (looks like a green orb), couple of hits with the machine gun and it's bye bye baby.

| I have the best luck with the shotgun, I think only two shots each | Gritius 19/11/2006 07:03 |
| this isn't even funny! those heavy tanks stickme whatever i try. while i kill one i get done in by his mates! gah! | Corran 10/11/2006 21:24 |
| I have been trying to get past these guys in the Nexus Core for 2 weeks now!! I can kill one, but I have so little health left, that I am a sitting duck for the remaining 2. I would like to use the hyperblaster, but I used all of my ammo killing the 3 Light Tanks previously. Any suggestions? | allivin 25/10/2006 05:47 |
| just shoot them in the head with a rapid weapon....no armour there, hehehehe | andy 14/09/2006 13:52 |
| these things are like unbeatable levitating doooooooooooooooooooooooooom machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | hbgnar 13/08/2006 00:13 |
| one of the few enemies that gave me any REAL trouble...... rockets, or hyperblaster | swat gerbil 06/08/2006 10:14 |
| They these hard at first, especially when you reach the The Nexus Core where you battle more than one at once. Best way is to keep running in circles and blasting them with a rocket laucher or a quick weapon so they don't stand a chance. | UnholyConfessions 23/07/2006 20:03 |
| i hatye fighting these feskers on foot, they were tricky to pi down in the hovercraft, and deadly when your on foot, if your clever you can dodge the heat seeking misiles and send them into walls fairly easily... | BROoSER 15/07/2006 01:45 |
| Use the nailgun. They'll follow the tanks since they move so slow.
And I'm a moron. | Sheriff 19/06/2006 08:19 |
