I have listed the details, stats and tactics about the vehicles in Metal Slug Tactics in this guide. We will continue to update, don’t forget to follow.
Metal Slug Tactics Vehicles
Tips and tricks for vehicles!
Metal Slug
Powerful tank with a main gun that inflicts 12 HP damage on a 9-tile radius, and Vulcan cannons that hit twice when fired. Moderate fuel capacity means you need to be choosy about initial placement if it isn’t already on the map to conserve fuel for firing the weapons as “ammo.”
Vital Stats
- Armor (hit points): 25
- Fuel: 100
- Movement Fuel Cost: Moving one tile consumes 4 fuel
- Main Gun Fuel Cost: Firing main gun consumes X fuel
- Vulcan Cannon Fuel Cost: Firing Vulcan cannon consumes 10 fuel
Main Gun Stats
- Main Gun Damage: 12 HP per tile
- Area of Effect: 9-tile targeting area
Vulcan Cannon Stats
- Vulcan Cannon: 8 HP (2 hits at 4 HP per hit)
- Targeting Area: Single tile
Use on Boss Levels
Desert Zone Boss
Metal Slug is super effective against the battle ship boss, but just be sure to drop it on the platform to the right/east of your character’s starting point, since the tank can’t cross gaps in terrain.
Jungle Zone Boss
Metal Slug’s movement on the Jungle Zone boss is badly hindered by the gaps between the platforms, which the tank can’t move across; and by the changes in elevation, given that the tank’s main gun and cannons can NOT reach targets located on different elevations.
So you’re better off with the Slugnoid suit on this boss level, if you have the luxury of that Asset choice.
Slugnoid
I describe Slugnoid as a mix of the Aliens movie’s power loader and Iron Man’s jet boots, combined with a couple rotary cannons.
Vital Stats
- Fuel: 200
- Armor (hit points): 20
Consumption Stats
- Movement: 4.67 fuel per tile movement
- Vulcan Cannon Firing: 10 fuel per cannon shot
Vulcan Cannon Weapon Stats
- Vulcan Cannon Armor (HP): 8 HP (2 hits at 4 HP per hit)
- Targeting Area: Single tile
How to Obtain Slugnoid
Most often you’ll obtain this via an Asset Reward after completing a mission.
On occasion you be able to purchase it as a Resupply asset item in the Shop screen at the Hub you visit after completing a region’s missions and boss encounter.
Far less frequently, some missions, including the Escort Rumi mission in the above video, will have Slugnoid already placed on the map.
Advantages
All-Terrain: Slugnoid’s hovering ability enables it to traverse any floor gaps and height elevation changes in the environment, so you don’t have to worry about the environment inhibiting its movement as is sometimes the case with the Metal Slug tank.
Fuel Efficient: Slugnoid gets 200 fuel to start. From my calculations, it consumes roughly 4.67 fuel per tile movement.
Its two cannons each consume only 10 fuel per shot.
