I have encountered them in Farmlands (east side) and Forest region. I have already gotten the achievement for killing one each. They are moderately rare, i’d say.
Just to add to the current locations listed, found an apoco tank at the skytteklubb today

Fought another 2 tanks today. Just crap drops… But still at it!
On another note. Does anyone else but me think those Apo tanks sound like old bitter men complaining about todays youth? 
I have a 62 year old colleague that i swear could be sampled into the game and noone would notice the difference.

Do Apo hunters drop weapons? I seem to recall you Tene got a LMG of a hunter… I might be mistaken. And that also might only be on Himfjell for all i know.

All Apocalypse Machines (except Ticks) have a chance to drop DLC weapons and attachments.

Yup just as xezr said! But just to also add, runners drop dilapidated, hunters drop exceptional, and tanks drop special, respectfully

On the main island?

No, it was on the DLC island. Though the same rules should apply.

oh really? hm well maybe runners cover up everything up to the 4 star… haven’t really tested them much for their drops past what i’ve seen in passing 
There is normally one that roams into the airstrip.
I got my 2* (worn) LMG silencer from apo runner. But it was on the Alpine Unrest island. Also, i got my 3* (good) KVM 89 from apo hunter, again on the Alpine Unrest island.
So, it should be more like this:
apo runners - 1* and 2*
apo hunters - 3* and 4*
apo tanks - 5*

I think it’s still valid to say: If you go for gold, go for apo. The rest you will pick up occasionally.
Ah that would entirely make sense, though admittedly i’m bummed you only got a 3 crown from a hunter, those dudes are tough! Admittedly i just focused on the 5 crown versions and went straight for the tanks
I’ve killed all kinds of apo machines but loot gods haven’t been that kind towards me. Only weapon i’ve gotten so far from apo machines is that single 3* KVM 89 from hunter. From apo tanks, i’ve gotten 5* KVM 89 mag mod and 5* KVM compensator. Then again, i haven’t grinded apo tanks that much either.

RNGjesus is definitely a cruel one in genz @Aesyle so i hear that, the 3* is alright but in gz as i’m sure you know each crown level is exponentially better than the last. If you haven’t seen it yet i did make a video on a tank farming route on youtube, that also has a sure spawn, credit of that info comes from xezr here 
Though maybe grinding out tanks isn’t the funnest thing to do in gz, i’d advise doing it for the 59 at least! It’s an absolute beast, the only other gun on the same tier as the exp pvg i’d say in game. Can link it to you here if you’d like
