Mark IV Tank

The Mark IV tank is a rideable vehicle that appears in the zombies map Origins included in the Apocalypse downloadable pack. It can be found under the church near the back of the map and costs 500 points to activate. When it is moving, it won't stop until it gets to the building near Generator 2, which is labeled with a sign that says "Tank Station", where the engine will have to cool down before it can be used again, this takes approximately two-three minutes. It will then continue on to the church when activated by the player; where it will once again have to cool down. It will only travel on the muddy area of the map where players would normally slow down. The tank itself is very similar to the bus on TranZit, in ways as such players can utilize the tank as a defensive platform and can move across certain parts of the map in a safer fashion. It is possible for zombies to jump onto the tank and attack the players while it is moving, but sometimes the Tank will use the flamethrowers on the sides and fires at nearby zombies to prevent this. There are numerous gaps in the sections of muddy trenches that lead into another trench, normally the player must jump down to continue, but the tank crosses these large gaps. The tank can be called from the Tank Station and the church for 500 points from the switch beside where the tank stops. The tank can only be called to the location after it has been used once. The tank is needed to make the Staff of Lightning, as the player needs to reach high areas that are normally not accessable without proper elevation to acquire parts.

Trivia

 * The Tank seems to be, in many ways, an upgraded version of the bus from TranZit. It moves when "told" (Paying the 500 point fee), and it attacks zombies, because there are no barriers blocking them from boarding. The cool-down time of two-three minutes is also more reliable as the tank will not leave at an unpredictable time, where as the bus would leave at a random time.
 * When a Panzer Soldat attempts to pursue a player who is aboard the tank it may become confused and become unable to move until a player comes in close contact of it.
 * There are German crosses on both sides of the tank indicating the tank was captured and used by the germans.
