    Speed: 1.5
    Hit Interval: 0.5
    Punch Damage: 180 HP
    Blocks: Fire

    2. Drainer Tank

    4. Bomb Tank

    Notes:
    • Immune to Poison
    7. Ice Tank

    Punch Damage: 1,000 HP (Fatal)


    Abilities:
    1. (Passive) Fatal Claw: The tank's claw ignores defense and incapacitation, causing death if the victim's health reaches 0.

    Additional Information:
    Back in V1.5, when all survivors had less than 1000 HP. The Assassin Tank, despite it having just 10,000 HP was actually a big threat to deal with. This is because it could become hard to kill when more survivors were killed off by the tank. Now, the tank is still worth watching out for.

    The tank is completely sick and rotten and won't be able to attack. It contains a dangerous disease that will affect survivors health.

    Additional Information:
    Back in V1.5, the Pestilent Tank when it became a normal spawning tank in COOP was able to inflict SICKNESS stacks to survivors, that would reduce their maximum HP. If combined with the Corrosion stacks from Corrosive Tank, this could lead to any affected survivor being fragile enough that a single hit would be enough to incapacitate or kill them.
