Tank / Power Armor

Power Armor Tank

An armored tank - Excavator/T-60, heavy weapons, survivability over damage.

BeginnerPATankSafe

The simplest build for newcomers. Power armor soaks up most of the incoming damage while heavy weapons still deal respectable DPS, with none of the hardcore risk. A perfect first character.
