Hey look guys its the ultimate guide number 18067 of a youtuber telling us how to easily do x y or z. God yall are bottom of the barrel and pointless. Beggers were better on the streets not the internet.
So... About those new Flying bugs...
@@Thescott16 Uhhh Those don't exist
The worst part of hunters isn’t their dodging, it’s the slowdown effect they give when they hit you. Absolutely unreasonable.
Bile Spewers on higher difficulties also act as a mortar and big groups of them are dangerous if left alone.
the first time this happened to us we were like WTF WHY HAS GOD ABANDONED US!!! it was nuts.
And they have heavily armored heads. Railgun works great, breaker and most normal weapons bounce off. I found incendiary grenades surprisingly effective
@@kevin9218yeah the impact grenade one shots them on higher difficulties also. So long as you hit their body
@@kevin9218 Autocannon is also valid source, heavy weapon, but with plenty of ammo and reasonably quick reload even if you reload it yourself.
2 different bug types.
Some things on bile titans: if you destroy the sacs under them, they can no longer spit at you, only melee. Any explosive or flamethrower is effective at doing this. You can use this to your advantage to kite the titan around and not have it be a serious threat anymore (as long as you don't let it catch you lol). Also blowing up these sacs allows stratagems to kill them faster, like the laser, as they're part of the overall health of the titan
Also the weak point of bile titans is the sides of their mouth when they open them to spit. It's an orange fleshy thing. A fully charged railgun or recoilless rifle can one shot them
Didn't know about the mouth thing. Probably because I'm too scared of their bile spit.
Though I do know that dropping a hellpod on their head one shots them from full health in a really satisfying way.
@@flygawnebardoflight use your friend as bait, works well lol
What I also found while playing on 7(suicide mission) is that you can use the orbital precision strike the same way you drop a 500kg (bait bile/stomp attack, throw somewhere in front/under) to help kill the titan. I didn't notice how much my teammates were damaging the titan before I used the orbital precision strike so not sure how much damage it deals, probably less than railcannon, but still, just to leave it here, it's NOT useless and has a short cooldown for an orbital stratagem. Not sure how it would work on helldive though...
@alexthehopeless3778 orbital precision strike is my go too bunker buster on helldive bot missions. Detector tower + Anti-air emplacements are a nightmare without it. As bad as jammer + detector tower. Thankfully I cut those incidents in half just by bringing OPS instead of 500
The arc is now my fav purely cause it's infinite ammo and rips through everything known to man
everybody sleeping on the arc thrower
This. Strips armour off of everything. And I did manage to get a killing shot on a bile titan with it. It's my favourite weapon now. I might be crazy but I swear it stuns some enemies on certain hits.
@@Kdoran51 What is the secret? I tried running it but it felt absolutely useless, never arced and still needed three shots for regular ass bug warriors.
rips through teammates if you arent super careful
@nic6863 you don't have to fully charge it to fire it, plus you can start charging again as the lightning is shooting out, effectively doubling the damage output. I thought it was even better than the prenerf railgun... so many time my team and I are getting pushed back, I pick this up and single handedly push back the army. It's really nasty.
I had fun being chased by 6 bile spewers, used a grenade to kill all six that were sheep corralled. Here is a small tip. Exploding a bile spewer also damages surrounding enemies/allies with their corrosive juice residue.
On Impossible or Helldive you can end up being chased by 6, 7, 8 or more armoured Bile Spewers at each nest you arrive to lol
Unexploded hellbombs are also really good against bile titans if there's one nearby.
Once you unlock the slugger it can usually take the hive guard's entire armored leg off in one shot then your free to just blast that side.
Also a trick I discovered for finding stalker lairs is if you see the direction they come from or run off towards when hurt you can open your map and check that general direction and zoom in, as long as there's no bug spores you can usually make out exactly which darkened area is the nest and when you try placing a marker on it you'll see the box you usually see when someone pings an objective instead of the pin and it'll show the stalker icon on your compass even if your team hasn't discovered it or used a radar station.
Autocannon is great right now
Auto cannon was always great. Just super underrated
It was always great! It was just outclassed. Now people are seeing the sleeper pick 💪
It's literally the best rn u can use it for everything even bug holes
Ya falling back to my original love since my rail cannon walked out on me.
Agreed, it's got great range and a huge amount of utility against both bugs and bots. Haven't encountered a charger since I unlocked it but it makes short work of everything weaker that I've encountered. Two-shots bile spewers from a distance, what's not to love?
8:40 Literally just came from another video that came out today arguing the complete opposite about flamethrower vs hunter. They argued (after testing it themselves) that the way hunters spread out forces you to start swinging the flamethrower around more, which makes it less effective at simultaneously dealing with all the other little guys that might be approaching you
If the other video did, and shows testing, I am sure they're more likely right as this is just rushed clickbait half baked content.
Spray and pray flamethrower can be wildly more or less effective depending on the user. If you're lighting the ground around you and using it as a defensive buffer you're in good shape. If you're spraying all your ammo in the air like an Iraqi oil field then yeah it is not gonna perform as well
Another useful weapon that keeps getting ignored, Autocannon, 2 taps head of spewers, 1 taps hive guards and broodlord's heads (the guard will move still for a second before it finally kills them but one shot to face still kills them), 3 taps charger butts so they bleed out, not sure how many shots for stalkers, and can even be used to take out nests too btw, only thing it cant fully kill is the bile titan, it can take out it's ass but then it turns into deflect so use stratagems or teammate to kill the rest of it's health. I pretty much always use autocannon WITH holding the backpack so I dont have to wait for team to reload, and I hardly have problems even in helldiver with bugs nor automatons, just try not to fully empty the mag for faster reloads, and good luck out there.
hell yeah, autocanon my beloved
I had 4 stalker lairs the other day, it was pain.
That is rough, was this on helldive? I'm still on impossible and have only run into 2 nests at most so far
@@GLVSCOW it was helldive yes. Stalkers are crazy on helldive. We even encountered a big stalker lair once with 4 holes.
Had a stalker lair today where we got ambushed by 8 stalkers LOL it was insane
Unlocked helldive a few days, haven't seen more than 2 lairs at the same time yet but can't wait for the chaos lol
@@TDD_Drums Oof, they must've been spawning for a while lol
You can conserve ammo by using melee on medium and small terminids. In most case you stagger them and break their attack animation. The shield backpack compliments melee attacks really well, because sometimes an enemy melee attack can get through. If you get good at your timing if a single hunter has leaped st you, you can melee and cancel our their attack. It works better than trying to dodge it. You can melee scavengers, pouncer's, hunters, Warriors and brood commanders.
Wow, thanks for the advice bro
Yes, absolutely! Many people don't know this, but in a few instances the melee tap is functionally a parry button. Hunter leaps, Warriors and Brood Commanders' melee attacks - it's so good, once you get a hang of the timing and stay calm. Right on, man! :-)
When shooting off the head of both the warrior and brood commander if they are on top of you and they enter the frenzy state and easy method to prevent taking damage from them (especially when not bogged down by a horde of bugs) is to melee them as it will stagger their attacks without costing any ammo.
Awesome tip bro
I feel like there is missing a lot of information, so I'll just add it here:
Bile Spitter: Their spit attack slows you down, so its crucial to kill them sooner than the scavengers, not letting them get close enough to attack.
Hunter: They seem to not just dodge from where you are aiming at but will also attack more aggressively when your weapon is low on ammo and needs to be reloaded. They also split up from the pack to jump sideways circling around you to get out of view, just to strike from the side. Try to kill those striving to the sides first, before taking care of the other ones.
Stalker: Same as the Hunter they seem to attack you in your most vulnerable moments. In addition they will retrieve, jumping away after taking a certain amount of damage, becoming invisible, dodging your shots, just to be able to prey on you again.
Bile Spewers: On higher difficulties they will also have an artillery attack, raising their sack and shooting high arching projectiles that will explode in a radius on impact. Always keep moving, because their range is mental. Also when in their artillery mode, their heads are facing down, making them harder to hit. Get close first to get them out of their artillery mode to save on ammo.
Charger: There is a second type of Chargers, the Behemoths, also appearing only on higher difficulties. Their armor is decorated with blade-like horns that will require more damage to break. One little detail about Chargers. If they run into a bughole, they will die while also destroying the bughole in the process. Its quite hard to pull off, but can be handy sometimes.
Bile Titan: If you destroy both sacks below their chest and abdomen, they will no longer be able to do their long range attack, making them comparably harmless. But there is also a small, almost tiny sack to the left of their mouth. If you hit that with an almost fully charged Railgun (in unsafe mode) you can one-shot them. Its incredibly hard to pull off while being swarmed by other bugs, but when you practice a lot, you can make it work relatively consistently.
12:53 The rail gun can still two-shot charger armour in unsafe mode, you just have to charge it more.
95%charged shots will work . Problem is , you most likely will die if you have to deal with multiples since the charge takes so darn long . Also , useless vs Bile Titans unless you cheeze it with having a PS5 teammate on pc . Then it 2-3 shots but its just a cross-play bug
Maybe 3 other teammates could give you cover...?
It will only do so if your game host is PS5 ffs. It's been a big before release and still is. Know why? Because most whiny kids that complain about metas in a PVE game need the help. You're wrong. It takes FOUR directly head on leg shots. Bozo
@@James-en3pleveryone wants to play this community based game by themselves and they’re upset that it isn’t balanced for solo play
@@scuzzlebucket3042 No PS5 gets a damage bonus not armor stripping bonus. You can strip the armor off the leg in 2 shots on PC without a PS5 player if you charge to 95% or above. Your shot angle will matter as well.
I recommend trying arc thrower and rocket pods against Bile Titan plus a jump pack can get you onto rocks to avoid Chargers.
14:30 Always consider your angle. If you’re fighting a bile Titan, make sure it’s face is pointing towards the center of the mapC that way your teeth orbital rail has a higher chance of hurting the head
Impact grenades are good for taking out bile spewers in a single hit and can kill multiple at once. Useful if you have the 2 extra grenade armor.
This seems like the exact same video, just reuploaded with an intro that says it's different for the update
It is, and it's sad how many people don't realize that. It is, almost word for word, the same video
The best weapon to use on a charger or any large bug is to drop on them when you respawn
For Bile Titans, if a railcannon shot doesn't kill them, I've found that less then 4 seconds of flamethrower focus will kill it, it seems very effective to use alongside orbitals
Here's some hunter advice.
You can outrun them in a straight line, but when terrain complicates things they can catch up with their leaping skills.
Hunters are a lot less aggressive than you might believe. This is because their vision is a lot weaker than their hearing so you can get away with sneaking past their scouting parties if you just don't shoot your gun.
When engaging with hunters your backpack will save your life. Shield packs will block their poison effect so the odd hit won't slow you down. Jetpacks will allow you more options to run and reposition. Drones will shoot back at hunters while you run which is amazing.
I think even the Ballistic Shield can save you too, since it protects your back. The supply backpack is just extra stims and ammo so you always have an option to survive and fight back.
Without aiming, you can shoot one handed weapons like pistols and SMGs in any direction without turning your character. This allows you to keep running while you gun down your pursuers and reload relatively safely.
Hunters still kill me more than any other bug, or they are the reason I get killed by the other bugs. Just remember that death is an opportunity to calm down and reassess what to do
Video idea! Would love to see weapon/stategem deep dives. For example, certain weapons or strategems may have unintuitive quirks. Thanks for the informative videos as always!
I can’t believe I haven’t subscribe to your channel yet! All your videos and guides have been helping my play throughs tremendously! Cheers mate!
On a sidenote: what completely melts chargers is the acid spit of titans if you lure them in it.
Not exactly practical but spectacular to lock at.
Huge tip for the flamethrower against chargers in case no one has commented it yet... Target and focus on a leg. It'll be inconsistent if you just general set the charger on fire. The videos of people taking it down in a few seconds is because of the leg method (always the leg method 😂)
just a quick addition for the Railgun, if you switch to unsafe mode and overcharge to near its limit, you can still 2-3 shot the armor off of the legs. However, the easier method I've found is just use the flamethrower and coordinate with your party as best you can. Takes a little more situational awareness, but if the rest of the team can keep stuff off of you, it's exceptionally effective at killing chargers.
Great video! I would also add that the Recoilless rifle can one shot a charger, just aim for thier heads!
Also a thing i noticed for the guards (i mostly play on level 5, so hordes are small enough). Guard dog can make them go defensive while i run around and blast them a few times with a breaker for quick kills. Might not be the best way, but if you are like me and enjoy being reckless with a shotgun, that lets you wipe guards without too much effort or aiming
I like the information on the video, but I don't like that sometimes you don't show the tips that you are giving being used, for example you said "use melee against hunters" didn't show using melee once. Same with flamethrower for the chargers, or even the autocannon sentry strat for the bile titans. I think the video would be better if you actually showed yourself using the tips and strats you are giving.
He did, around 1:18
@@patricka.2194 I missed that, you right. I guess my point still stands though, if you are talking about a certain strat, best thing would be to show it while you talk about it, yeah?
@@LeeCsMediting takes time most people have lives and im sure he has a job
@@SolareofAstora so because he has a job I can't give some feedback? I'm wasn't criticizing harshly or anything. I still watch his videos!
@@LeeCsM dude chill. Thats the whole point
For the new shriekers; aim for the wings, spray, pray, and dive.
The liberator penetrator is good for the hive guards. Just have to keep some distance. So players used to using mid/long range weapons in other games should take a look at it.
One tip for hunters: If you melee pouncer/s when they are in the middle of their pounce animation (Ex: the stalker/s hopped over to you to strike on landing, specifically before the landing), you will stun them for a few seconds; giving you the opportunity to quickly dispatch of them and keep moving.
All you need is the arc thrower, rover and 2 titan / tank killing stratagems aka orbital railcanon and laser.
Ran this on level 6 with one friend and it didnt even feel tough. I totally agree ⬆️
Something to mention is that the 'SG8S Slugger' is brilliant against the bugs. It will one shot most of the 'little guys' whilst having good enough penetration and range to essentially negate any threat of the Hive Guards.
Plus, it has a stagger effect on most enemies and that makes it really good against Stalkers which you can kill in just a few shots whilst keeping your distance.
Very underrated gun.
an extra tip for hunters: If you're using a damaging grenade that takes a few seconds to explode (so, not an impact) you can throw it at your feet and sprint away. Hunters will typically wait a second before chasing you, and you won't make enough distance for them to run if you were already in flanking melee range when you threw the grenade. This should at least cull down how many are chasing you to more manageable numbers so you can use your gun to deal with the rest.
Another way to shred hive guards and light armored enemies in general in 2-3 shots... Use the slugger. Seriously, I've been using this over the breaker recently and it's insane. Just don't treat it as a close up spray and pray. Pick off your targets (esp the more threatening ones) from mid to far range and your team can come in and clean up. Even in sticky situations up close it still does a good enough job. You can also pair it with other weapon stratagems to compensate it's weakness for massive mob clearing (I like the laser rover for bugs and honestly anything you want for automatons as you'll be fighting them from afar anyway making this a perfect weapon for that). The slugger also received a hidden patch where it got increased capacity. Don't over rely on the breaker, folks!
My tips on the Hive Guard are A) Liberator Penetrator will go right through their armor and B) you can spray at them and toss a nade under them when they hunker down. Time it right and they will stop right on it and eat a belly full of shrapnel. C) flamethrowers will also cause them to hunker down, but fire doesn't care about their armor
Earlier today I went through 6 mags on my hmg, emptied my primary, used all my grenades, and used up all my secondary ammo… i then punched 6 of those white hunters before i went down.
For the charger, if you set your Railgun to unsafe you still get rid of the armor in 2-3 shots…
Aiming directly at a leg of the charger with the flamethrower works really well.
The one thing we can't beat, tho... New glitches. Like collecting Super Credits and Acqu Slips in the field freezing your character for several seconds. Or the *horrendous* disconnects going around.
The freezing thing happened to me, interacted with the space pod looking thing and got stuck there for quite the while too
I thinks thats more of a server fail. At prime time server sometimes do not progress medal rewards and credits. I have read, that you will get the rewards sometime later.
My favorite method for dealing with chargers is to use the quasar cannon. I like to get the charger's attention, and then shoot it directly in the head while it's charging at me. One shot does the trick, just make sure it's far enough away when you charge up the cannon, otherwise you'll get plowed over.
Another tip: If you dive right before getting rammed by a charger, I've found that it does less damage and I usually get thrown away from the charger rather than crushed underneath it.
For the brood commander I would suggest popping off its head and then if it gets to you melee it so it doesnt actually hit you it will then die right after you melee it.
Gotta say I don't feel like bile spewers and nursing spewers are getting the respect the deserve in this guide, even if you don't take the higher difficulty mortar behaviour and armour into account. Those bastards have a LOT of health and spawn in shocking numbers on difficulties 4 and 5, and importantly those bile attacks are the most instantly lethal attacks terminids have should you fail to avoid them. If you're not using a shield backpack, these guys will likely account for a similar number of deaths as hunters do. As mentioned, the primary problem isn't them individually, since they're slow, gigantic targets. The problems start when you encounter them alongside many other bugs, especially other spewers and enemies with slows. While hunter swarms are dangerous because of their agility, spewer swarms are dangerous because of how much ammo each of them can soak up. You can't really ignore them either, because they're so lethal if you let more than one of them close in on you. While avoiding 1 spewer's attack isn't too hard, avoiding 3 or more consecutive spewer attacks from a group of them can be nearly impossible. I feel like the video should have spent more time going over which support weapons and stratagems most efficiently deal with them. "Efficiently" being the key word here, because against them, the biggest danger is running out of time or resources with which to deal with them and their allies. For example, a recoilless rifle might be able to kill one easily enough, but unless you've got a buddy doing the reloading it won't be fast enough to take out groups, and even if you do have a buddy reloading you'll run out of rockets fast. I wish he had mentioned more than just the grenade launcher, as not everyone wants to use the grenade launcher every terminid mission, and there are other efficient options available like the AM rifle, arc-thrower, railgun, autocannon, eagle strafe, etc. The way he talks about spewers makes it sound like if you just shoot their heads with your main weapon you'll be fine, when doing so will, in practice, typically result in you being overrun any time they're part of a substantial horde. This goes double for nursing spewers; he makes them sound like a non-threat, which they most certainly are not. He doesn't even mention the vision-obscuring fog that surrounds them, making them even more high priority targets.
Make sure to focus the flamethrower at one of the chargers legs, it will take only a few seconds and only 1/4 - 1/3 of your magazine.
For bile titans (mostly from expirience, some from other ppl testing):
Almost 100% one shot with a spear if it looks at you. If spear hits the head it always pops.
2-3 (usually 3) shots with recoilless or EAT to the head. It's better to aim at the armor plate at the top of the head, seems like it makes it more likely to get a 2-shot kill. Shooting when it opens it's mouth doesn't do more damage.
If it was weakened with stratagems it usually takes 1 shot with any of these weapons to it's back to finish it off. Do not aim at the head to finish it off, looks like head takes damage separately. Also do not aim at their belly, looks like it doesn't do full damage to the body that way. Always target either head or back (but not both, if possible).
Spear Squad loading melts Bile titans. When locking on with the spear, remember to STAND STILL. 3 or so rapid shots kills them. Add to the barrage by having a supply back person there too. (How does having 20+ javelins in your pocket sound? Because we removing post codes today.) Probably not doable on the highest difficulties (7-9) but is decently effective on the mid diffs (4-6)
Brood Commanders can summon 2-4 Warriors at time. Even after you've blown thier heads off. (difficulty dependant?)
The slugger seems to penetrate Hive Guard armor.
Bile Spewers can also mortar you which is quite deadly.
A good way to destroy Chargers is the expendable Anti-Tank Rocket launcher. Its available at low level, and on a tiny 70 second cooldown you get 2 shots. A SINGLE shot directly to a Charger's face will kill it in 1 shot. As a bonus, you can also kill them with the delivery pod (which is on a very small cooldown)
Bile and Nursing spewers can be killed with a single impact grenade anywhere to the body.
Also the Rail Gun still performs well in unsafe mode, the patch notes mentioned “safe mode” getting the debuff
Small tip for finding stalker nests, look for the smaller red dots on your map, it is most likely one of those.
For chargers, the railcannon strike 1 shots them.
For hive guards, I use the slugger and one shot each leg off and then tap the side of their exposed slow moving body and finishes them really quick. Slugger not only pen's their armor but blows off their front legs really easy!
i love how you sound like josh widdicombe, the comic from "mock the week"
Guard dogs are a life saver with hive guards for me when you don't have allies nearby to flank them, at least the rover. The rover will keep them hunkered down and facing the drone while you can move and shoot them in the sides
The Stalker: once you encounterd one and he runs away, he will always return to you in a few seconds.
So after a Stalkers runs away, keep watching the way it went and wait for its return.
the absolute easiest way to deal with a charger is ONE expendable AT rocket to its head. The bile titan can also be taken out by one presession orbital strike to the head or a couple 110mm.
5:50 the hiveguard has meduim armor, not heavy like the charger
The standard machine gun will be able to cut right through no problem
The EAT, recoilless, and railgun are all heavy penetration, save those for chargers and up
This was missed in both versions of this video
The MG is also a good option against hunters, they dodge sideways for individual shots but a slice from an mg will still kill them almost every time
Lastly, the autocannon may be enough for some heavy armor, but not for chargers or bile titan's armor. It works against walkers from the bots but thats because the penetration rating is also 1-9, so not all heavy armor is created equally.
If you dont have an EAT, RR, or Rail, you dont have heavy penetration and will need to shoot the vulnerable on the back of a charger or use strategems, if you have the eagle airstrike you can bait a charger into running toward you, turn 90 degrees and call the airstrike on yourself, and run along that line before diving out of the line of fire. This will usually keep the charger in-line so the bombs hit, although its unlikely to one-shot it
If it can break the leg, it can break the head. The legs are simply a backup option of you beef the shot, the body of a charger is also capable of armor stripping but its less effective than the legs which are less effective than the head
Also the autocannon sentry IS heavy penetration. so its unironically great against chargers bc it can actually shatter the armor
a lot of the time when fighting hive guards as long as you arent looking straight at them theres a good chance you can get a pretty clean shot on their back legs sticking out past their defenses and it has no armor on it at all so its really easy to blast its back legs whenever you can get a peek at them and it takes a good chunk of their health away
An important trick for bile titans is that hitting them with two reinforcement pods will kill them at full health. Apparently a pod does as much damage to them as a railcannon shot
one thing i noticed while kiting bile titan through the whole map xD. If you destroy it's sacks they are significantly slower (you can outrun them even when out of stamina) and they cease to use their bilethrower attack (for lack of a better term).
Something very important to note is that as of patch 1.000.102 on March 12s, EAT-17s and Recoilless Rifles now 1 shot chargers with a headshot. This is now the cheapest way to 1 shot them, and it's quite easy to do assuming the charger is facing the right way since their heads are pretty large targets. Keep in mind that you have to hit the head; when rearing to charge, it's not uncommon to have your rocket impact below their head instead. To avoid this, aim a bit higher than you might otherwise. Another note is that these weapons are highly inaccurate the moment you swap to them; you should wait a second or two for your aim to steady before firing them, lest you miss completely. Finally, it's also possible to 1 shot Bile Titans with the same weapons if you manage to hit them in their open mouth. Note that for this to work, it needs to hit INSIDE its mouth, such as when it's using it's bile attack. If you hit its head when its mouth is not open or don't hit the inside of the mouth directly, it will take another rocket to the head to finish them off, which is pretty good as a fallback.
Overall the result of this change is that EAT-17s and Recoilless Rifles are now much more viable choices, especially on higher difficulties where Chargers and Bile Titans are more common. Having a means to instantly neutralize these enemies without using a bombardment stratagem is extremely valuable, and will save you a lot of time and ammo over using methods that take longer to kill them such as butt/sack shots, rail cannons, auto-cannons etc. EATs and RRs can also be used to 1 shot all the medium enemies as well as Stalkers if you hit them on or near the head, and given the generous ammo supply of the RR and the extremely short cooldown of the EAT-17 call in, you'll have more than enough extra rockets to use some of them this way.
another tip for bile spewers if your struggling with them in 7+ difficulty, impact grenades will one shot them anywhere you hit them, and you can clear massive groups of them with 2-3
So the impact grenades are valuable to buy? Since i'm almost there i don't want to waste my medals, i find the stock grenade (the HE) is enough to deal with them, cripple at least and detonate all the small friends they have around them.
@@Sh-epard standard are fine, just considerably less effective. By negating the fuze delay, if you are quick, they wont be able to shoot in the first place
I didn't buy them because I thought it was a suicide bomb when saw the 0 second fuse time😅
Impacts slap. Been using them for weeks and love them more than standard grenades EXCEPT for trying to take out bot shacks. The door works, but those vents are rough for impact nades. But otherwise they are fire. I usually use Airstrike on them anyways so it isn't a problem for my personally

I recomend using your secondary on the hunters, if you have the little smg, it's really good since you can shoot at them while running from them, and it deletes them pretty fast while they're jumping.
Especially if you're using a shotgun it can be difficult to bring it to bear on a hunter right on top of you, but the secondary works very well.
Came here for pointers for the hunters specifically lol. My advice, is be quick with the melee attack, it can help mitigate things when they begin to swarm.
As per Patch 1.000.102, Chargers can be one shot to the head with a Recoiless or Expendable, though you have to get them in the face. Also, if you DO target the exposed back with a heavy weapon, you can blow their tail off and they will bleed out after a time without any additional damage.
That latter method ALSO works on Bile Titans. If you blow up their tail sack, they will slowly bleed out, though it takes a while.
Also you forgot to mention that Hive Guards only have medium armor, meaning the MG and any medium armor pen primaries can just shoot through it.
For you newer players if you don't have some of the skills or abilities about 4 placed shots of the rocket launcher can take down the Bile Titan but you gotta aim at the sac
Rocket pod strike is also great for the chargers

Great video! The bile spewers(green) might have the same amount of health as their yellow variant but they have stronger armor above their head and going down the middle of their back. Honestly, to me, it just feels like they have more health. Two grenade launcher rounds to any part of a yellow one will take it down but the greens usually take 3 and sometimes 4 grenade launcher rounds. Impact grenades are great against both though and well worth it since they usually spawn/attack in pairs.
Spear on the bile titan should have a 100% guaranteed result of stripping the closest armor so that you can take it down with normal ammo after that.
I am surprised no one is talking about the Arc Thrower. Ive been two shotting Bile Titans with it consistently.
There is currently a bug where you get insane damage buff vs Titans if you play on PC with PS5 teammate . It works on railgun but might be a thing here as well. I tried using that on titan solo and 10 shots didnt even scratch the armor
Best way is to Just shoot both belly sacks with any weapons. It reduces the healthbar significant. The using a arcthrower can finish of.
Arc thrower is great for going solo against chargers. Targets their head and will kill them pretty quickly. Even arcs between chargers if you have multiple and deals about the same damage each shot.
Sad to see no update to dealing with the hunters.. but I have come up with a method that works pretty solidly for me when I get rushed. Using the SMG Defender, you want to run/dive away (whatever gets you away from them) while looking back. Since the SMG is a light weapon, you can shoot with it while still moving at a good pace away from the hunters, allowing you to kill any hunters that got too close until you can re-establish yourself. The low recoil and solid capacity make hip firing with this gun pretty accurate and easy. After I clear any that got up on me, I usually go back to using my arc thrower and mowing down everything save for titans and chargers, but even chargers become easy enough to deal with when using the arc thrower.
The Spear can one shot a Biletitan, IF and only IF you face it head on. This mean you must have the Bile Titan looking at you and your Spear is looking at it. Hitting the head = 1 shot kill with the Spear. Hitting its back or sides = 3 - 4 shots with the Spear as those areas are more armored than its head.
I do agree that the Spear will not lock on correctly sometimes, you got to fight with it. That and ammo is hard to come by if your only using Resupply drops. There's scatted ammo at points of interest and each ammo box = 1 Spear ammo.
You can still use the railgun on Charger legs, you just need to switch to unsafe and charge into unsafe levels to get that OG penetration back.
The actual best method to take down Hive Guards is to get them to hunker down so you can run to the side and blast them in the side. Kills them super quick if you target the legs, much faster than shooting them in the neck.
I'm enjoying using the arc weapon as well to handle the brood commanders, hive guards and even the charger though it's not fast against chargers.
Fun fact: There are two Charger Variants. The common variant, and the one pictured in the video called a Berserker Charger. Same weaknesses.
Probably mentioned already but Hive Guards have medium armor so the Machinegun, AMR, Slugger, Senator, Liberator Penetrator, Autocannon, etc.... can kill it. No need to waste Recoilless or Railgun ammo on it.
I think a good method of taking down ambushing stalkers is to instantly pull out your machine pistol side arm and unload the full 30 round mag into them aiming certain mass. Its damage per second is higher than most primary weapons and it's important that you kill them quickly because unlike every other enemy they run away when hurt. They don't flee for long though and they'll usually sneak up on you again 30 seconds later if they're not taken down.
I believe the Punisher staggers them also.
The quesar canon one shots chargers if you hit them in the face. You can charge it up and shoot them before they sprint into you. I’m surprised the quesar canon wasn’t mentioned at all. It’s even possible to take a bile titan out with 2 hits to the face with it
5:57 these guys clench up when being attacked. The flame thrower works really well, they just hold still.
fun fact. when the bile spewer reels back as if its sitting. and its about to spew. one unsafe mode charged headshot kills it
If you can time it and aim it you can call a reinforcement onto anything to one tap it, bile titan or not!

3:32 - "As I mentioned with the warriors, you want to focus on the legs"
You actually did not mention that, I noticed this in the previous video as well. In the warriors section you don't mention a weakness or anything about the legs, just that a shotgun or 5-6 shots from any assault rifle will take them down.
Did this almost reupload come out before the expendable anti tank was buffed to one shot chargers if you get a headshot?
If you have an expendable rocket or recoilless rifle you can aim for the head of a charger then it dies one shot, but it's easiest if it's targeting you because you get a clear view of its head (that's pretty much how me and my friends deal with them)
I'm sure most of you helldiver's know this, but I'm fairly new to the game and just discovered that if you have a grenade equiped when picking up a supply drop, you will gain an extra grenade. So if your max is 4, you'll have 5/4.
5:53 so with the hive guard you want to crouch or go prone and under the head plate is a space you can shoot
For the bugs I like to use the JAR-5 Dominator and the Stalwart. I just slay on every map. For defense missions I use the LAS-5 Scythe, the ARC Thrower, and LAS-5 Guard Dog. The LAS-5 is pretty underrated imo, especially on cold planets
what would be worth a mention is that both chargers with their hind sack destroyed and bile titans with their under-sacks, bleed out after a time if you leave them in that state - as a bonus they cannot use their abilities during this state (chargers can't charge and titans
can't spew bile). Might not be an ideal solution, but it can save you resources. Also works for hulks and their back weakspots. Nice vid tho.
My current favourite way of dealing with hive guards is to shoot a grenade under them, kill 'em in 1-2 shot (depends if it detonate under them or bounce up and detonate on them)
The arc thrower is also amazing for the hive guards
Hive guards have a better method:
1.Shoot once to hunker down
2. Run to side while he's hunkered and shoot the body.
This works much better than shooting the neck.
For neck strat I use the whole mag of my regular breaker and there is still no guarantee that it will do the job.
But my strat works very consistently and I use only half a mag at max.
Very important tip for hive guards:
The slugger strips their leg armor in one shot! Great way to slow them to a crawl and expose soft tissue without using a support weapon or stratagem. Slugger also one shots the warriors head and the brood commanders legs. Very useful primary weapon against bugs!
Tips for hunter swarms are to use the arc thrower to fry them at range and once they get close, whip out the secondary smg and hipfire while jogging backwards. They shouldn't be able to get many hits in at jogging speed
I was running some level 7 missions last night and the autocannon turret can definitely solo the bile titan, 2 triple bursts and it was down.
play on helldiver difficulty
i’m excited for all the new weapons, new laser cannon takes care of chargers in two shots to the leg
How would you know?
@@Yamyatos i watched a video on the leaked weapons, it’s called the quasar cannon
@@ubulayne_ Yeah i saw a screenshot of translated strategem names - but where would i find this gameplay footage? Quite unsure why they would nerf the railgun and then introduce another weapon that does the same damage to charger legs. Does it shoot abysmally slow, or what's the deal? Also, unsure how relevant this is, if they rebalanced the unreleased weapons accordingly, on top of the planned balance changes to spawn rates, armor and hp values in general. Still, just concept wise, that would be a weapon i too am looking forward to, so if you remember who uploaded the footage that would be awesome. You wont be able to post the link tho, youtube doesnt like that..
@@Yamyatos video is by ShowGun, it’s titled “helldivers 2 more leaks!” and a couple other keywords but that should work. my guess with the railgun nerf is it’s just not supposed to be that powerful, seems like their vision is for it to take out medium armor consistently like brood commanders or the warrior bugs, with the potential for more damage against heavier armor with the risk of self immolation lol. new laser cannon takes a few seconds to charge up like the railgun
@@ubulayne_ Thanks a lot! Yeah dunno about the railgun changes. Games have been a lot more frustrating, ie less fun overall, since the patch. But we will see where the game is heading over time.
