This dangerous stealth game of cat and mouse pits the Batmobile against the elite tank units of the Arkham Knight’s militia, the Cobra drones. These heavy tanks are not to be trifled with—they rumble through the streets searching for targets ahead with blue scanning lights, unleashing devastating strikes once locked on. They are vulnerable (and blind) from behind. In this particular challenge, you cannot afford to even be sighted by a Cobra tank. It’s stealth or nothing in this encounter. Needless to say, tread carefully. Watch out for their scanners, of course, and use third-person view to peek around street corners.
Cobra drones require discretion. Do not pull out into a road ahead of a Cobra drone, and work carefully to approach them from behind, where their command center can be targeted.
It requires a lock-on of several seconds before you can drill a 60mm shell into its core and destroy a Cobra drone, but when you do it goes off with a terrific bang.
If you see blue lights ahead, cautiously back up. You can often just allow Cobras to slowly pass, or use the minimap to find another more vulnerable Cobra nearby.
Once you’re behind a Cobra drone that hasn’t seen you, you’ll need to lock on for several seconds before firing. During this time, continue slowly, cautiously stalking the Cobra. As long as you’re securely in the blind spot of the Cobra you’re about to destroy, this process shouldn’t be interrupted, unless you’re spotted by a different Cobra. Keep an eye on the minimap to keep your situational awareness of other potential threats high. After destroying a Cobra drone, vacate the area rapidly; other Cobras will be inbound to investigate what happened, and you don’t want to be in their path.
