    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you want to give surrounding survivors help with avoiding the tank's attacks over having some crowd control on the tank with stuns/staggers, you can swap out the Blunt Force Trauma Buff for the Health Dispenser Buff. if you instead prefer to be able to stop yourself from dying should the tank permanently kill a survivor anyway, you can swap out either buff for the Avenger Buff.
    • If you prefer being able to melee the Butcher Tank faster to get rid of it's melee shield over having health regeneration, you can swap out the |E| Fentanyl Injector Buff for the Hyperactive Buff. if you instead want more defense while still having temporary health with a buff enhancement, you can swap out either buff for the Pain Stimulant Buff.
    • If you want to gain some damage resistance when you resurrect yourself with a buff enhancement over having crowd control immunity with moustachio bless active, you can swap out the |E| Super Moustachio Bless Buff for the |E| Hidden Strength Buff.
    • If you want to be able to use both pistols and melee weapons to be able to crowd control the tank over having higher health regeneration, you can swap out the |E| Advanced Morphine Injector Buff for the |C| One Man Armory Buff.
    • If you want to help other survivors up from incapacitation, giving them benefits over having a way to save yourself from death after taking lethal damage, you can swap out the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff for the |E| Courage Buff.
    • If you want some movement abilities to avoid some of the tank's attacks over having high defense while incapacitated, you can swap out the Crush resistance Buff for the Mobility Master Buff, If you instead want to help out a survivor being aggroed by the tank, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Displacement Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the |E| Pain Moderation Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Butcher Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • Do your best to aggro the Butcher Tank away from survivors that are low on health, or if you can tank the tank's damage. You don't want to have a single survivor permanently dying to the Butcher Tank's punches.
    • If the tank puts up it's Butcher Shield from incapacitating/killing a survivor or attacking them enough, be sure to get rid of it quickly. The tank gains greatly increased movement speed and attack speed while the shield is active.
