The ultimate staves can take him out in one charged shot. Well, at least the fire one can which is the one I always use. I'm not sure about the others, but I would think they could as well. The regular staves are pretty good against him too. Other good weapons are the Ray Guns and the Pap'd Mauser. I've heard claymores are effective as well, but I haven't used them much on this map. If you do happen to get grabbed you can shoot the arm that his claw was fired from to be immediately released. In-game quotes suggest that his arm is a weakspot, but the head is an easier target imo.

I've seen that a lot of people think the Panzer Soldat is too op. I disagree with them. He can be pretty challenging to take out, yes, but that's how boss zombies should be. He's pretty easy too if you have the right weapons. The staves make him a joke, especially the ultimate versions. Same with the Ray Gun Mark II, although it's nearly impossible to get. Every time he shows up it scares the crap out of me because I know I have the possibility of going down. That's exactly how boss zombies should be imo. What do you guys think?

Anyone able to confirm yet if it can be done on solo? I'm attempting to do it right now. Almost done with the ultimate staves, really hoping I'm not wasting my time.
