Master Batmobile-Fu
Having the most kitted-out Batmobile on the block is not going to do you any good if you don’t know how to properly use it. On the surface, you may think using the Batmobile in combat is as easy as pointing and shooting, but in practice there’s much more than meets the eye.
First of all, don’t be afraid to switch between Battle and Pursuit Mode on the fly. Doing so is practically essential to get yourself out of tight spots. There’s a reason why you can switch with the press of a button, after all. Switch from Pursuit to Battle Mode when you feel you might lose control and spin off the track, likewise, switch from Battle to Pursuit when you need to quickly get out of dodge when ambushed by tanks. Also, Pursuit Mode can be used to quickly sneak behind Cobra tanks. Because nothing makes more sense than sneak tanks.
When in open combat with drone tanks, you can use their own firepower against them. Though hard to manipulate, if you have two tanks aiming at you from opposite ends, you can dodge thrust out of the way to have them accidentally attack each other.
Another important tactic to keep in mind when fighting multiple tanks, especially later on in the game, is to target the ones that fire missiles first. These annoying tanks fire homing attacks that will hit their mark more often than not. It’s best to pinpoint where they are, eliminate any airborne missiles, and take them out first.
Also, STRAFE, STRAFE, STRAFE. This can’t be said enough. Your Bat-tank has wheels, use them. A moving target is harder to hit than a stationary one. In fact, use the Batmobile in a similar way you would use Batman in melee combat. Hit hard, hit fast, keep moving, and build up your combo meter to store your energy reserves. If you upgraded your Batmobile the way we’ve outlined, then you should have no problem building up meter to use one of the Batmobile’s many gadgets. However, don’t use them straight away. Generally, it’s best to save up for at least a level three That way, you can strike multiple targets and really leave the militia forces reeling.
Hopefully these tips have helped you establish yourself as a more confident, more capable Batmobile user. For more tips, tricks and guides check out our Batman: Arkham Knight wiki guide, old chum!
