Planetside 2 Guides -> The Collosus
A five-man tank, available to unit members with the appropriate permissions for crafting and use. When deployed, the primary weapon transforms into a heavy cannon capable of striking air targets.
Additionally, a protective field appears around the colossus, blocking incoming damage using cortnium, which can be replenished by ants.
It’s also worth noting that this tank withstands orbital strikes relatively unscathed.
Tank equipment
1. Universal. The default armament with dual optics is retained for the front machine gun slots. Homing anti-fighter missile launchers are installed in the two rear slots. Modules include auto-repair, auto-cortnium restoration, and fire suppression. All passive cortnium modifications are also installed.
Combat tactics
revolve around destroying bastions and their vulnerable modules. Therefore, it’s best to fire from locations with a force field controlled by your faction, a bio lab, a factory, or an amp station.
You can organize a convoy of Thunders and tanks around the Colossus to repair and escort you, protecting you from the enemy while the Colossus destroys the bastion. You, in turn, will protect them with your shield. Don’t forget to place an auto-turret at the deployment point, as fighters will try to blow you up with explosives or mines, dropping directly on you from fighters.
The Colossus is an expensive, but worthwhile pleasure. Megatank!
