Spawn Behavior

In Origins, the Panzersoldat will always spawn in on Round 8 as long as the door to No Man's Land has been opened. Otherwise, it will spawn on the next round after that door has been opened, and then every 3-5 rounds after that. In Der Eisendrache, the Panzersoldat will spawn on Round 12 and every 5-6 rounds after that. During the Main Quest, a Panzersoldat will always spawn in after returning to the present time, and multiple will spawn during the final boss fight. In Revelations, the Panzersoldat will between rounds 18-21, and is also present during the final boss fight.

Combat Strategy

In Origins, the Panzersoldat is only equipped with the Flamethrower and Giant Claw, whereas in both Der Eisendrache and Revelations, the Panzersoldat is equipped with the EMP Cannon instead of the Giant Claw. The weak points remain the same between the three maps, with the main weak point being the yellow glowing Power Core on its chest and the secondary weak point being its Head. In Origins, the Ray Gun MKII is available from the box and is extremely effective against the Panzersoldat as well as any of the four upgraded staves.


In Der Eisendrache, any Pack-a-Punched shotgun or upgraded bow is extremely effective against the Panzersoldat.


In Revelations, the Thundergun and Apothican Servant are extremely effective against the Panzersoldat.
