Part 4: Defeat The Militia Leader

Learn how to defeat Deathstroke and his Cobra Drone Tanks in Batman: Arkham Knight. This guide covers his attacks and the best strategies to take him down.

Alright, you've made it to Part 4 of the Campaign for Disarmament, and it's time to face off against the Militia Leader himself, Deathstroke! He's not messing around, bringing a whole squad of Cobra Drone Tanks with him.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Cobra Drone Tanks: Must be hit in the glowing section on their backs.
• Deathstroke's Tank: Can be damaged anywhere on its body.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Deal with the Cobra Drones

   As soon as the fight starts, you'll see six Cobra Drone Tanks on the island. Five are standard, and one belongs to Deathstroke. Your first priority is to isolate and take down those five regular Cobra Drone Tanks. Remember, you need to hit the glowing section on their backs to destroy them, and definitely avoid their lock-on attacks – they pack a serious punch!

   Don't forget to use the environment to your advantage. There are plenty of side-alleys, ramps, and tunnels to help you outmaneuver them. Keep an eye on your mini-map to track their positions, and don't be afraid to make a quick getaway if you feel like you're getting cornered.

2. Phase 2: Confront Deathstroke

   Once you've cleared out the Cobra Drones, it's time to face Deathstroke directly. Honestly, he's not as tough as he looks, especially after all those drone defense sequences you've already handled. You can shoot him anywhere on his tank to deal damage, but you absolutely need to avoid his attacks.

   He's got a few tricks up his sleeve: an EMP blast, grenades similar to the Dragon Drones, lock-on missiles like the Mambas, and a nasty three-pronged tank shell attack. The easiest way I found to handle him is to back away and kite him around in a large circle, constantly firing your main cannon whenever it's ready. This gives you a great view of his incoming attacks, allowing you to make the necessary adjustments to dodge them.

   The trickiest attack to avoid is always the homing missiles – use your machine guns to shoot them down. Also, be sure to dodge out of the way if he throws more than one grenade at a time.

Strategy:

• Prioritize eliminating the five standard Cobra Drone Tanks before engaging Deathstroke.
• Use the environment (alleys, ramps, tunnels) to outmaneuver the drones and Deathstroke.
• Keep an eye on the mini-map to track enemy positions.
• When fighting Deathstroke, kite him in a large circle while firing your main cannon.
• Use machine guns to shoot down his homing missiles.
• Dodge his EMP, grenades, and three-pronged tank shell attack.

After you reduce Deathstroke's health to zero, a cutscene will play. Afterward, drive back to the GCPD headquarters on Bleake Island and park in the designated spot to complete this side-mission and earn 2000 XP.
