During your talk of the bike titan you forgot to mention the orbital precision shot (the first thing you unlock in the game) can kill them in a single blow anywhere on the body. It could skim down the leg and as long as it's a direct hit, it will install it. This also works for all automaton heavies as well, but that takes a very planned and practiced approach. It's something I enjoy doing and it surprises people when you throw an orbital 20 yards ahead and sprint towards it with the titan behind you. Then you can play some dark souls by stepping close enough to aggro it's melee attack to keep it in place. It's a very easy setup

For people new to the game -> grenades and most of all, the grenade launcher are YOUR FRIENDS. Not only does it help you with crowd control against weaker enemies, but it can two-shot spewer enemies, armored guardians, etc. It can take out grouped enemies like a patrol or drop-ship automaton squad in two or three grenades. Yes it is ammo hungry-but in the long run it saves you and your team the ammo you would have spent individually killing swarming enemies. It makes clearing terminid outposts an afterthought, and will be the first weapon to enable you to defeat armored automatons. Lastly, do not use it once enemies have closed the distance between you and your team. Friendly Fire isn’t.

That's why we hate the meta of 4 railguns. 2 railguns, a recoiless, and a grenade launcher are So. Much. Better.

A couple of things not mentioned: - When the Bile Titan is about to fire off its vomit attack and its mouth is glowing, a railgun shot right down its throat is a one shot kill. - The Eagle Rocket Pods are incredibly underrated for taking out Bile Titans and Chargers. You get 3 uses per rearm when fully upgraded, they auto-target the largest nearby enemy like the Orbital Railcannon, and they have huge single-target damage while also punching holes in the armor of enemies that survive. - The Shield Generator backpack is the single best survival tool against both factions. For the Terminids, it prevents all the ragdoll nonsense from Stalkers, prevents you from getting slowed by most attacks, and just absorbs a lot of damage because of how often you have to run to create distance, meaning it always gets to recharge before you reengage.

For me is the contrary, because i love when over 20 Bile spewers spawn right away, with like 7 Hunters jumping inmediately every breach. At least with Automatons you can take cover and be fine for an brief moment, with bugs you get runned down 24/7

Another tip about the bike titan, if you blow up the sacs under it, it cannot do the bile spit anymore, making it a bit easier to focus other targets. If you don't have any way to kite it, running between it's legs while it does the stomp animation is a good stalling method

From Claysthetics video, the bigger "orange" bugs will call in the bigger bug breaches In other words, the brood commander will call in those extremely difficult bile titan and charger breaches. They are the top priority targets. Them attacking and tanking? That's trivial in comparison...

Did you know I once saw a brood commander crawling at me with 1 segment of a leg? They can sometimes survive with no legs.

The visuals were really impressive. Loved each information page made for the Terminids; looks super cool.

Highly disagree with this ranking. Pouncers are the most deadly terminids. Warriors I’d say is way under pouncers.

I know why none of these type of videos ever mention the green warrior type bugs that explode on death, its because almost no one making these type of videos is playing on harder difficulties. Also the bile spitter is not a scavenger and way worse than them because while their damage is small they slow you on hit which gets you killed quickly against bugs.

best way to kill bile titan for me is railcannon + 110mm eagle or 2 110mm eagle, its very good stratagem, dont know why people underate 110mm eagle so much, 500kg is good too, but in helldive difficulty when the call down time is double, its pretty hard to land a perfect 500kg bom, the 110mm is just much more consistent

@Techigai

4 ай бұрын

Sounds good, I'll have to recommend that to my eagle squadmate.

Expendable Anti Tank is good weapon vs Chargers. A shot in head can instant kill it. However the draw backs is when there multiple chargers along with other stuff. Its can be hard to get good aim and getting another rocket. So i recommend to remember the combination for stategm so you can call another EAT in a pinch.

A good tip for those front armored bugs is when you see them get down , immediately toss a nade at their legs. They will catch the nade and since you stopped shooting they usually stand right on top of the nade, and I notice there’s usually a group of them or one of them with a group of others. It’s a great way to force a multi kill

Nursing Spewers are not a lvl 4 threat...at least a 5 to a 6. While it's true that handling one or two is easy enough, that's not what actually happends, the game dumps 12 at a time at you while you're already trying to take down 2 Bile Titans, Chargers, Guards and a horde of hunters and warriors meaning that an acid spit could be coming from your back or just at a bad time and it insta kill you. Also, any mistake by you means you're dead.

This video did not age well. Every enemy in this list past the scavenger needs it's fatality index bumped by 1 or 2.

I just started playing this week and I hafta honestly say this is the best experience I've had since I started playing Destiny!! It's like a breath of fresh air!

Fatality Index is all messed up for higher difficulties. 😂

For the Hive Guard I’ve also found great success with maneuvering around them and taking out their back legs. The shotguns make short work of them

Sick vid!!!!

This kind of enemy review should be implemented into the game but with the starship troopers “would you like to know more”

The pouncers when I do is I shoot them in the air because you can hip fire in the game so you can turn your camera quick and just line up the shot and shoot and you’ll mostly hit it lol it saved me so many times and hip firing should be done more

For the chargers if you’re early game/level the expendable anti tank rocket is a good option. Aim for one of the legs to blow off its armor then light up that leg with your ballistic weapon for a fairly quick kill

Good info. Been doing things wrong on some of these.

If you happen to be out of position against a bile titan and you are too close to it for you to get in away time, you can run under him between his back legs. His stomp attack is too slow to catch you + the times he takes to turn around is generally enough for you to reposition.

Excellent video! My most favorite enemy in helldivers 2 is definitely bile titan 😍, it feels like the bio-titan from warhammer 40k tyranids! And its well deserves max threat level! My hope is that they update bile titan behavior and maybe add variants

Warriors, I almost never have an issue with them, even if they get close with their head blown off, they're easily avoided with a dive. The nursing spewers are lethal if you don't dive just as stated in the video, but the best way I've found to get rid of them are grenades, especially contact grenades. If they're grouping up, you'll often get two or more this way with a grenade. I'd like to point out that the hit marker says the sides are its weak spot, but, as said, you'll spend way more ammo shooting there. Another point, and this goes for the bile spewer too, is you can shoot them in the head, and still make them explode after they're dead. This can allow you to get more bugs in the AoE radius before you blow em up. Hunters are terrible, they will totally surround you in higher difficulties if you don't kill em quick enough, so kill em quick! Stalkers B-line right to you, take note of the direction you see them approach from, and head that way

You forget to say that if you get cover on the bile of the bile spitter your character get a slow that last like 3sec

This video is really well produced and scripted. It's like jumping head first while shouting 'For democracy!'

The easiest way to deal with chargers early game is the expendable anti-tank. Only takes one to blow the armor off a leg. Then use your main weapon to finish it off. Friends I'm playing with are mostly same level... Once we got to a difficulty where we regularly ran into chargers - we all brought EATs and just dropped them all over the map since the cool down is so short. Made chargers a nonissue.

eagle rocket pods can break armor on the titan, and if you max out the eagle ship upgrades you can call 3 rocket pods and recharge in 2 minutes, theyre seriously slept on

@xhappybunnyx

been wondering what those'd be good for

Divers dont realize that the Autocannon Sentry has a huge range. If you throw them line of sight far away they can deal with several chargers or a bile titan alone. I throw the gatling and auto sentry together which can pretty much wipe the field if you place them corretly. Early game the upgrades for these sentrys are the best. I get 500+ kills a game with these.

Something else to know, Brood Commanders can summon a few Warriors, making groups of Commanders a hassle as they can easily increase their numbers.

Just an FYI the Brood Commander can summon 2 (I believe they) warriors , with or without its head lol

Earned my, sub just for the production effort 😅

Stalkers are way deadlier than Chargers! Sure, Chargers are annoying early on, but are easily soloable by the time you hit lv 20 for the portable Railgun. But Stalkers? Super fast, moderate HP, always flanks, dodges bullets, withdraws to the backline when damaged, can yoink you, can launch you, and can kill combo from full HP. And at moderate to high difficulties, there are usually 2 Stalker Nests... They just don't stop coming. Your new objective becomes their nests ASAP. And if you're caught out alone, pray you don't have to deal with two. Chargers don't even hold a candle to the sheer lethality and stress you get from waves of Stalkers. I will also add that Bile Spewers and Nursing Spewers are both high priority threats. Beyond difficulty 4 they start spawning in large groups that apply alot of pressure to the player, and dodging their spewing attack with the dive is shockingly inconsistent. And that's before considering their backline mortar capabilities. They're major threats and way more fatal than most units.

Encountered a Charger Behemoth walking around the mission the other day for the first time. Had a kind of beetle pincer looking head and way thicker front legs. Couldn't really tell if it was more armored or we were just missing shots. But it definitely felt more difficult to kill.

You can one-shot chargers with an EAT to the forehead; wait until they finish charging and turn around, or keep a bit of distance when they charge at you. You can also stop bile titans spewing acid by destroying the tail

honestly feel like the stalker is at least as deadly as the charger as it seems to show up at the worst time half the time, and the charger is easy to dodge/escape if you're out of ammo or need to reload. once had to deal with 3 stalker nests with 3 bile titans in the start of the game and it was a nightmare. it haunts me to this day and i cannot believe i carried the team through that

10:24 stalker will retreat towards its bug hole when low. so follow them

You can also use your hellpod to smash and 1 shot any of the terminds

Hell yeah

Orbital rail canon is usually a one hit.

Always have a guy with a grenade launcher for bile spewers - two body shots and they're dead. Ammo efficient. If you can spawn camp a breach you can usually hit two-for-one.

Autocannon is also a great pick for this if you prefer range or dont like bouncing grenades by accident.

Hunters are absolutely not “very fragile”. I regularly will mag dump a Liberator directly into them the entire time they’re leaping, getting tons of gore and hit markers, only for them to land and either kill or cripple me from full health anyway. An agile, lethal common enemy shouldn’t be able to tank most of an assault rifle mag, they just feel super cheap to fight.

The anti tank launcher is the greatest counter to the bile titan and charger as you can spawn them much more often than any other counter and 1 good shot kills either of them

For lower level players struggling with bile titans, use fire. Flamethrowers, napalm strikes, incendiary weapons, everything that burns. Fire bypasses the titan’s armor and deals direct damage to it, essentially melting it from the inside out. Alternatively, look for the SEAF artillery emplacement if you have time, a high yield explosive round or mini nuke will instantly kill them on a direct hit

You’re not just dealing with the average terminid warrior anymore Helldiver.

cool

The eagle rocket pods can kill bile titans pretty well but i have had mixed results depending on how the missiles land. I've killed 2 titans with 3 pods before or not killed one with 3. Eagle airstrike appears to be a good tool bs chargers it can kill them out right and destroys holes plus whatever else is around

"A good bug is a dead bug"

Pouncer's (hunters) should be considered more dangerous than warriors. They will actively outflank you and gut you if you lose track of them and it's usually two or three that work their way around. I prioritize anything that can jump or leap because of how quickly they close the distance and our flank you. Just my personal opinion. It's easier to kill a warrior than a hunter.

You forget mention the bile warrior (explodes on death)

Jar5 doesn't do explosive damage though. It says Explosive type because of how it operates using jet propelled rounds but every other explosive weapon doesn't say that, it says it in weapon traits instead. You can shoot the Jar5 and see that there is no explosion too. I think you have it completely backwards lol the AR explosive is the one actually dealing explosive and same for the Scorcher. Even Autocannon will say explosive trait and Grenade launcher too.

Update: EATs and recoilless rifles 1 shot chargers in the head!

The hunters by themselves make the bugs harder for me to combat than the automatons. First thing I did when I started playing was go to the robot war and it was great and then I did one bug mission and got stomped because the hunters would just be constantly flying in out of nowhere and then spitting on me to slow me down so the rest could finish me.

Stalkers are higher lethality than Chargers imo. Cant get away from them, leap away when hurt, and love to flank you, on top of being fairly tanky to finally kill. If 2 get on you at the same time, prepare to be camped.

honestly the stalkers are way more dangerous than chargers, as the latter is at least predictable (and with the new nerf you can kill them much more easily now)

Is there anyone having more trouble with chargers rather than the Titans like me? 😂 I can’t wait for this video on Automoton though 😮

I feel like nobody talks about bile spewers gaining armor on their heads as well on higher difficulties.

6:02 Sickle shreds them too if you’ve got good aim.

For the Bile Titan you can always land right "through" it with your pod. They can't handle the democracy delivered that way.

12:30 - You can kill the Bile Tital with Rail Gun. You can shoot in his mouth RIGHT in the moment he open the mouth to spit acid. It's a critical damage. And 3-5 shots on that moment, you kill him. However you kill him with headshots with rail gun. Just need 10-15 hits.

The team needs more AT, like the railgun for leg armor shredding. Killing chargers through the leg quick is crucial for fights on harder difficulties. Diving is not the best option because of their turning ability.

Tbh Railgun safemode can 2 tap bile titans, thing is theres something buggy on the railgun on some games, sometimes it takes 15 shots to kill one but other teammates can 2 tap (maybe something to do wiht netcode or something) its kind of an RNG thing.

Besides the Stalker that is faster than the player. When you get good at running circles around Chargers and running under Titans, it's the Hunters that'll catch you most of the time. That said because everyone can simply shoot them, they end up not as high as a threat on sighting.

I just use the breaker shotgun you get from the warbond and shoot the from until it dies takes about one full mag or less

Scavengers, bile spitters and pouncers I wouldn't be wasting your precious primary ammo on either. Just use your side arm, 1 or 2 bullets is enough to kill them.

You can take out a charger in one shot with a well placed shot to the head with a recoiled rifle.
