After entering the map, tanks slowly travel along a set path to the bomb hatch before deploying their bomb and ending the round. This path is unique to each map and may differ from the path of other robots in the wave, if any. They have their own bomb, independent of the one carried by the other robots, and in waves with tank(s) and bomb-carrying robots, both the tank and the robots must be destroyed to complete the wave.

Tanks cannot be stopped by any means other than their destruction, and they are immune to slowdowns, [[knockback]], [[Fire|ignition]], [[Jarate]], [[Mad Milk]], [[Sappers]], [[headshot]]s, [[backstab]]s, and most other status effects, but they are affected by [[critical hit]]s and mini-crits. Some on-hit effects are ignored when attacking a tank: hitting it with the [[Fan O'War]], for example, won't mark the Tank for death. Tanks cannot directly cause damage to players, even those standing directly in front of them, but turning tanks may crush players against walls and props, killing the players instantly. They also destroy [[Engineer]] [[buildings]] in their path. It should also be noted that the tank has approximately 75% damage resistance against the Minigun, substantially reducing the [[Heavy]]'s damage output against the vehicle.

Tanks are immune to all effects outside of damage and critical hits; they can only be stopped via destruction. They cannot have their movement interrupted or [[slow]]ed; standing in front of one will simply push the player away for no damage, while players that cannot be pushed away due to walls or props are crushed to death, and [[building]]s in the way are destroyed. They cannot be [[burn]]ed or soaked by [[Jarate]] or [[Mad Milk]], they do not give [[metal]] to [[Widowmaker]]s, they cannot be [[sap]]ped or marked for death, and they have no [[headshot|heads to shoot]] or [[backstab|backs to stab]]. Finally, they resist approximately 75% of [[miniguns|minigun]] damage, severely reducing a Heavy's damage output against it.
  
 
Tanks have a health meter below the "robots remaining" display on the [[HUD]], and as they are more damaged, they will acquire bullet holes and cracks and lose parts, like the covering on their treads. The final tank of a mission has distinctive white stripes; this does not correlate to any of its properties.

“
We don't know what this thing is, but it's big as hell, looks unstoppable, and it probably runs on human blood. We're just guessing that last part, because it's usually covered in it.
— Day 1 of the Mann vs. Machine update
 ”

Tank Robots (referred just as Tank) are large bomb-carrying machines that arrive with the robots in Mann vs. Machine modes. They carry no offensive weapons and thus have no direct way of harming the player. They can take an extreme amount of damage before they are destroyed, far more so than any other robot. The Administrator announces the entrance, progress, and destruction of each tank.

After entering the map, tanks slowly travel along a set path to the bomb hatch before deploying their bomb and ending the round. This path is unique to each map and may differ from the path of other robots in the wave, if any. They have their own bomb, independent of the one carried by the other robots, and in waves with tank(s) and bomb-carrying robots, both the tank and the robots must be destroyed to complete the wave.

Tanks are immune to all effects outside of damage and critical hits; they can only be stopped via destruction. They cannot have their movement interrupted or slowed; standing in front of one will simply push the player away for no damage, while players that cannot be pushed away due to walls or props are crushed to death, and buildings in the way are destroyed. They cannot be burned or soaked by Jarate or Mad Milk, they do not give metal to Widowmakers, they cannot be sapped or marked for death, and they have no heads to shoot or backs to stab. Finally, they resist approximately 75% of minigun damage, severely reducing a Heavy's damage output against it.

Tanks have a health meter below the "robots remaining" display on the HUD, and as they are more damaged, they will acquire bullet holes and cracks and lose parts, like the covering on their treads. The final tank of a mission has distinctive white stripes; this does not correlate to any of its properties.

Health

Each Tank in a wave has a given amount of health based on its intended difficulty and the length of the path it must travel.

Elimination

When a tank is the only robot in the wave (excluding support-class robots like Snipers), it should be focused by all players until it is destroyed. Kritzkrieg Medics and Canteens are extremely effective when paired with sustained high-damage classes like Heavies, Pyros (it should be noted that the Phlogistinator charges it's meter almost instantly against tanks), and Soldiers, or when used with Demomen using his Grenade Launchers and Stickybomb Launchers. Wrangled Sentry Guns also deal massive damage to tanks, but may have to be relocated once the tank passes out of their range or if they're in the tank's path. As well, the hitbox of the tank is very large, making weapons with "bullet spread", such as the Frontier Justice, effective even at medium-long range.

If a tank arrives with other robots, especially giant robots, consider killing the robots first, as tanks do not deal damage and can usually be dealt with after the regular robots if they have not traveled more than halfway. After arriving at the bomb hatch, the tank will take a while to deploy its bomb, so the team still has time to destroy it.
