Battle Guide: How to Beat the Giant BT
As soon as you step out of the lab, a cutscene rolls — and boom! The Giant BT rises from the ground. Here's how to survive:
Aim for the Head
Use your Assault Rifle and fire straight at its skull. It’ll keep its distance, so pick your shots carefully.
Watch for the Tar Slam
When it disappears into the tar, start moving. It'll hurl tar chunks your way. Jump from car to car to avoid sinking.
Attack Its Weak Spot
Sometimes, its mouth glows orange-red — that’s your cue. Shoot it hard to do massive damage.
Dodge the Whip
When the BT pulls out a tar whip, dodge to the side or jump. You can also shoot the appendage for bonus damage.
Avoid the Suck-In
It might start sucking up tar, pulling you in. Hold Sam back and prepare to run, because the BT will reappear behind you with a surprise attack.
