Weapon Loadouts

• See Category:Ankyros Build to see how players mod this weapon.
• See Category:Ankyros Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
• For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

Tips

• When using these, remember that you must be really close and therefore expect yourself to be vulnerable to staggers, knockdowns knockbacks, and enemy fire.
• Occasionally, you may find it hard to hit an enemy even if they are directly in front of you. This may be a small mesh problem associated with the weapon's short range.
• Using  Reach can effectively aid in hitting targets from slightly further away.

Notes

• A good combo is to use the jump slide kick (sprint and then jump and crouch) at an enemy, which will knock them over, allowing you to use the ground finisher.

Bugs

• The inventory view of Ankyros uses the same icon as Ankyros Prime.

Trivia

• The Ankyros was released on April 19, 2013 with Update 7.8.
• One of the phased skins released during the Steam Winter Sale of 2013 was for the Ankyros. This was the rarest one available, with only 10 known copies crafted.
• The Ankyros appears to take inspiration from a concept design of the Colossus from Dark Sector, as seen in the picture here.
