Unlock Requirement: Perform three critical shots in one Drone Tank battle.

This Drone Tank challenge takes place in the centre of Grand Avenue on Miagani Island. You are given a small, circular safe area and your objective is to last as long as possible without taking a hit. You’ll start with 5 seconds on the clock and will earn +10 seconds for every Drone Tank that you destroy.

You’ll get +10 seconds for every Drone you destroy (left). Twin Rattlers and Diamondbacks will show up to make things more difficult (right).

The Drone Tanks will constantly spawn around the edges of the safe zone and fire inwards. Fortunately they will remain stationary once spawned, so are not too difficult to line up for critical hits. I’d recommend working clockwise (or anti-clockwise if you wish) around the outside of the zone, popping the Drone tanks that appear. Once you have built up a level 4 Missile Barrage, let them have it before continuing to dodge.

Initially you’ll be facing Rattlers, but they will soon be joined by Twin Rattlers and then again by the more armoured Diamondbacks which definitely makes things tougher. Just do your best to avoid the incoming fire whilst returning it and with a bit of practice, you’ll nab three stars for the challenge!
