    What do you have? It depends what you have and the weapons, armor and traits.

    In the earlier stages my scout was effective but I haven't leveled my newest one up because it's only a rare. So my legendary shooter is my strongest hitter right now.
    I do like the warrior because of it's double hit but it's still not as strong.

    If you have a shooter with good gear they can do some dmg with there charge ability.

    I have rare survivors in Avery class. And 2 legendary bruisers, I think it's BS that hey can stunn you but you can't stunn them! Big walkers are BS at the higher levels!

    The best survivor against tank walker (big fat walker) is your ranged survivor with the highest damage (base damage + weapon damage).. just always keep a safe diatance.

    I usually just blast it til they die. shooters accel at taking them out from afar, especially with a charge.
    ...Using a warrior to make that fat head roll around on the ground is so freakin' satisfying though...
    As I witness the death of innocence... A predator feeding on its creation.

    I must not surrender my god to anyone, or this body will become carrion.

    I like to deal some damage from a distance with hunters and then send in a warrior or scout to finish them off if they get too close.

    Any class with 100 % interrupt is best you can just kite and over watch till they die won't even be able to attack you

    except 2 waves of walkers come out after 12 bodyshot overwatch interrupts.

    Assuming you have critical charges for all 3 survivors, warriors and shooters would be good choices against Tank Walkers since you get an additional attack/move after utilizing their critical charge. Shooter gets an extra shot which will not attract additional walkers and will always be a critical shot. Warrior similarly gets an extra attack that is 1 AP's worth.

    @BeastModester Impossible to say in upper levels, it depends so much on currect situation and mission architecture, specially in weekly challenge and main episode stages.

    With lv15 characters, I think more combos than single character class against fatters. I agree w @gabriel_lwh that warrior and gunner. Is the gunner companion shooter / hunter / assault and third character or two gunners, it depends, like in BBQ and Cannibals missions. Naturally warrior might get stunned, but every close contact character might.

    Here is one example of the meeting of warrior, gunners and fat guy, episode 9-5:

    Heaviest hitters are actually scouts with brain stab.

    yes, but when his "brain stab" cannot one hit KO the fat walker, he is doomed.. So i would still choose the shooter to keep a safe distance. even if it took a lot of shots, having a safe distance and interrupt trait from other shooter, stun attack from fat walker can be avoided.
