Gameplay

Kraken’s strategy relies heavily on the use of his sentry guns, which he will place around the map. While letting his sentry guns have at you, he will attempt to whittle you down with his moderately damaging battle rifle & shoulder AS missiles. Should you attempt to force close combat, he will employ boost charge attacks.

The best way to deal with him & his partner would be to use a tank with decent defenses & dual autocannons on them as they have quite hefty defense on their crafts, though both lack substantial firepower despite their use of sentry guns. It’s recommended to deal with Kraken first as he gives out more damage than Tangaroa. Once Kraken is out of the way, you can focus entirely on Tangaroa.
