	Tactically speaking, Armoured Sectopods operate identically to regular Sectopods. The critical differences are that this new variant features superior armour and a stronger main gun compared to its predecessor, as well as higher reaction potential.

	This model of Sectopod no longer has a vulnerability to Laser Weapons, with Lasers dealing a base of 100% damage to it, however Plasma weapons still deal a base of 80% damage, meaning '''[[Heavy Laser/Sniper \| Heavy Laser/Snipers]]''' are almost as effective as '''[[Plasma Sniper \| Plasma Snipers]]'''. Frontal attacks against this unit are unlikely to deal any appreciable damage, Plasma Snipers, Heavy Plasmas and Heavy Laser/Snipers can theoretically deal damage through the front, but are statistically more likely to be resisted against.

	The most effective method of terminating a Armoured Sectopod is either a [[Blaster Launcher (Hardmode) \| Blaster Launcher]], which is very likely to destroy or heavily damage the unit, or firing high damage weapon rounds into its side or rear armour. Flanking and firing off an auto attack from a Plasma Shotgun into its rear armour is also very likely to kill an Armoured Sectopod, but at great risk to the flanking unit.
