Melee: I'll have to say Bowie Knife takes it, as first I was going to say Skyhook as I reasoned if it worked as I thought it would it could snatch weapons away, being magnetized. However, the skyhook doesn't seem to be extendable, and doesn't seem to be very usable in the game, since the character uses more ranged weapons. The Skyhook in general is a good tool, but for fighting? It falls flat on its face. Edge: Tank

Short Range 1: M1911 for me, since while it has lower ammo, the Broadsider cant even make use of its high fire rate without trading out accuracy. The M1911 has proved itself to be accurate with a high fire rate. For that reason, the M1911 gets my edge. Edge: Tank

Short Range 2: Gonna have to side with the China Broom here, while it has a high spread and recoil, thats because of how much power it has. One hit up close is an insane amount of damage. The trench gun can blow off limbs, but the China Broom can blow one to pieces. At longer distances, Booker wouldn't use the China Broom, he would use other guns. Edge: Booker

Mid Range: Well.... I suppose if I had to choose, I would go for the Thompson. Though it has less ammo than the  Triple R Machine Gun, I feel its more accurate,  it doesnt have that high spread of it, and can be fired in bursts to reduce recoil. In the end, the Triple R is extremely powerful, and if a bullet does catch, it can mean the end. However, the Thompson is more accurate imo, and if you can get a good shot in the brain, it doesn't matter who has the better gun. Edge: Tank

Long Range:Crank Gun, due to its accuracy. While the Browning has more ammo, has a better targeting system, and is less bulky, it has a high recoil. The Crank Gun, while still having recoil, has an amazing accuracy. Anyone who has played the game can attest to its surprising lack of high recoil, and its ability to accurately shoot targets at long distances while maintaining a fully automatic fire. The Browning can maintain a fully automatic fire, but only for so long until the recoil gets too uncontrollable. With the Crank Gun, one doesn't have to worry about having to stop every now and then, it can just be a rain of lead. Edge: Booker

Explosive: Brainstormer RPG hands down. To be honest, the Panzershrek was a pretty good weapon at its time, and would be a good weapon for an army battle, or a squad battle even. Here, on a one on one battle, it really has no place. The two will only have one opponent, eachother, Booker has multiple shots while Tank only has one reliable shot before he has to reload. And even when he does reload, it takes a long enough time Booker would've been able to kill him ten times over. Edge: Booker

Special: The Perk a Cola's get this in my opinion, while Booker's Vigors are amazing, I feel the only two that would really do harm is the fire and electricity, and even then Tank can withstand that with Juggernog. Sleight of hand can turn him into a monster, unloading weapons, reloading, slashing, at a furious pace, At a fast pac like that, he could absolutely decimate Booker. Not only that, but the Quick Revive will be incredibly helpful, as it will help Tanker get the edge when/if Booker striked him down. The Double Tap will destroy the crows, the PHD Flopper will make it so he cant die from self inflicted pain, which could make a very interesting combo with his Panzershrek if he can reload it with Sleight of Hand, which will allow him to destroy Booker upclose without even scraching himself. The Speed Cola is like the Charge, but he can use his Bowie knife, instead of the Skyhook, which, combined with sleight of hand, could turn Tank into a pure monster. Not only that, but if he's experienced, when the Bucking Bronco hits him, he wouldn't let go of his weapons, and would probably fire at Booker while he's levitating, or, the Quick Revive would allow him to get back up after Booker kills him while he's helpless, turning his back at the crucial moment Tank strikes. Edge: Tank

Deadliest Warrior: Gonna have to say Tank, that ability to not kill himself will be crucial, as he may be able to feign death, only to rise up and kill Booker. Tank has the blessing of an extra life, and even if he loses all of his powerups, when he does so he still has another chance. An explosive like the Panzershrek would be good at long ranges, but not for close quarters.... for anyone other than Tank, who can pretend Booker snuck up on him, and before Booker gets him he can blow him up with the aid of the PHD Flopper. In the end, while the Vigors, and Bookers amazing weaponry tilted the scales at his favor, its not only about that, the second Tank dies, he can come back again, giving him a surprise factor he can use to shoot up Booker as he believes victory is his. The battle comes down to whether Booker can kill Tank twice, while unaware of the Quick Revive, or if Tank can kill Booker once, as I believe Booker doesn't have anything to revive himself with. In the end, Booker can kill Tank, but then Tank can get right back up and shoot him up. Booker's in the situation where he has to keep moving, keep on going. Tank has the mentality of a soldier, fighting zombies teaches one to never turn your back if you think the enemy is gone. Even if Booker can feign death, you can bet Tank is going to stab him in the brain anywasy so he won't reanimate.
