The Most Annoying Enemy in Helldivers

[@hunmg3769]

i'm lvl 112. shriekers are easy to handle since they removed their ability to call in bug breaches, chargers only take 1 rocket/quazar shot to the face, or like 8 seconds of flamethrower held on their legs to kill. But these bile spewers just suck, they sneak up on you and that spit attack kills you so easily if you fail to get out of its way. they suck

[@kookthekid8338]

W mans, I'm glad to see at even level 112, which is literally a hundred levels higher than me, the bile spewers are still an absolute nuisance. I have no idea how but they just always seem to be able to get behind me without me noticing.

[@SilverGuard]

Bile and titan spew attacks counts as explosive damage apparently (I don't know why). so taking "fortified" might give you enough time to react.

I didn't know that! Thank you for that advice!

Lvl 58 here and I hate them as well Few tips - Never stop moving (ever) and don't stay in any one place longer than you need to on the map Scout armour is amazing You can make chargers smash into each other which will stop them both dead The shield backpack will give you a millisecond warning that you need to jump away from the spit

[@joshizfly]

Jump pack is OP Not really but it's awesome for mobility

[@kookthekid8338]

I like the lighter armor, or well the medium sized armor more than heavy armor, so maybe I'll try out the scout armor since I'm assuming it's the lightest and fastest? And that chargers tip is insane, I actually had no idea, Ima def try to do that now! And do you think the shield backpack it worth more than the laser robot backpack?

@@kookthekid8338 Light armours currently the best to use at the moment due to the Amount of stamina regen and speed, both of which can help you get out of a lot of bad situations. Also some give you a 30% reduction in enemy spotting time which is massively useful. Aye you can make chargers smash into a few things to stop them dead Oh the Bile from Titans and spitters can also be used to kill their own troops 🙃🙃 The jump packs great on lower difficulties just to run around and grab POI's (Points of interest) but on harder ones I almost always take the shield backpack due to the survivability e.g. Get jumped by stalkers - shield saves you, Get biled - shield gives you that second extra to liberty leap away, Get charged by a charger - Shield saves you (if its full) The rover backpacks can be useful if your soloing or in a duo for Crowd control but again on higher difficulties/more people in your squad you simply don't need them and they'll inevitably kill one or two of your fellow Helldivers per match. Also if your trying to avoid patrols etc your Rover backpack WILL simply shoot them which is not always useful at all

For the longest time Chargers chapped my ass more than a latex jumpsuit but the Spewers are the BANE of my existence. I see one walk up and it takes everything I have in me to not just accept my death right then and there.

[@TheTroubleshooter]

they're basically the reason why you cant just spam AT rocket weapons. Mediums such as railgun, laser cannon, nade launcher, autocannon, AMR, arc thrower, flamethrower (if you got a sturdy build) or Explosive/Medium primaries all screw them over

[@kookthekid8338]

I've recently started using the flame thrower and realizing it's full potential without setting myself on fire too much, so hopefully that can help a lot!

[@Gaelic-Spirit]

Shrieker nests with 3 towers can be completely destroyed by one full recoilless rifle ammo supply, which can be very fast if a teammate reloads for you (which, shockingly, I have actually had happen before (wtf randoms being good teammates???))

[@crazyasianninja218]

I’m going to regret saying this cus arrowhead likes to nerf weapons that are “too popular”, but the punisher plasma works against them. It ignores their armor so you can just shoot them wherever. It also has stagger so it might keep them from spitting at you (not sure if it actually does, since I believe the armored ones are classified as heavies). To avoid self damage on bug missions with the thing I dive away when a bug gets too close and shoot it mid dive since you can aim while diving. Not much aiming is required tho since the punisher plasma has a large aoe for a primary.

[@kookthekid8338]

I might have to grab that punisher plasma then !!! Thanks for the advice!

[@ythandlename]

Most of the enemies all have weaknesses and are weapon checks because it's difficult to make a loadout for every occasion since you will come out short in some area. For example, Bile Titans and Chargers test whether you have access to a AT or a jail free card strategem (500kg, Airstrike, Orbitals and etc.). Shriekers are strong in a swarm but are weak against shotguns and rapid firing weapons that can catch them in the air. Stalkers don't have armor but are tanky yet weapons like Pummeler and any knockback or staggering weapons can make them trivial when you fight them headon. Bile Spewers are armored so any weapon with lvl 3+ armor piercing or explosive trait can kill them. But the real enemies that are the most annoying are definitely the hunters. They aren't strong on their own and a few of them can be killed relatively quick. But what makes them really dangerous is that they can be flittery, can deal a lot of damage, can jump to close the distance and worst of all their acid slows you. These are all the traits that makes them the #1 priority against any terminid horde. You have to kill these guys first no matter what bug you might find.

[@kookthekid8338]

I actually almost included the hunters as one of the enemies on this list! I just ended up not doing it since they are generally seen as a lesser threat, even though like you said that isn't necessarily true at all! But yeah I was super duper close to including them as well to talk about

[@raptorbrotherhood766]

If you have the laser cannon you can make pretty short work of them from long range. They are always top priority whenever I see them and I melt them from afar as they chase my teammates

[@kookthekid8338]

That's pretty smart, especially since they're like the only enemy that spawns frequently that can also one shot you!

[@gloth]

bile spewers are the most annoying only because they are very strong vs a lot of primary weapons. If you happen to have an explosive/armor piercing weapon that can kill them in 2-3 headshots they are very easy. So, honestly... they can go from easiest mission of the day to the hardest.... it depends :D

[@kookthekid8338]

Didn't they just recently big time nerf explosive weapons? I might of missed something I'm only level 12 and don't really have access to a lot of them yet, but I did see youtube shorts of people complaining about it!

@@kookthekid8338 the last gun in the first warbond hard cucks them. You can use plasma punisher as well but its less versatile and range but has better cc

[@gloth]

@@kookthekid8338 they are still ok... with an explosive you ll want to hit their sacks, with an armor pen -something like jar-6 for example, you ll want headshots. Autocannon is also excellent dealing with them - the upgrade to fill all ammo really helps you spam shots with it though. if everything fails, impact grenades (and the grenade pistol) deletes them (and the splash dmg usually kills more than one if they are packed nicely). But you don't have to grind to higher tier weapons to deal with them. I would suggest you try playing with an ammo pack. It will really elevate any primary weapon when you know you have so much ammo available and your grenades usage

[@PalmonSweat]

The real thing I hate about them is the one-shot acid. Like we can be set on fire and live but then a millisecond of acid and it is an insta kill.

[@kookthekid8338]

yes

[@eliiswatchingyou7257]

They are so bad bc at higher difficulties your build is a mix of swarm clear and anti tank bc of bikes and chargers. But some missions bile spewers will spawn and most helldive builds have NOTHING to kill them and there’s no way to know if they will be on a mission.

[@kookthekid8338]

And they spawn so frequently that I feel like you can’t just waste higher powered rounds and options on them you know? Every time you kill one a new one takes its place 😫

bile spewers are the worst enemy in the game because they FORCE you to have a weapon that has medium pen (difficulty 6 and above) or use your explosives on her instead of the things you want to use them on, and the sac should actually be a weakpoint and not one of those "fleshy bits" they say, no their sac lines should count as full on headshots, and the head should not be a "headshot" Shriekers ain't that annoying if you have the senator or the polar patriot handgun, senator one shots them anywhere, and the new handgun 1 shots them if you hit head or wing joints, also killing their nest from the other side of the map if 1 person has the correct stratagem.

[@kookthekid8338]

You should at least be able to destroy the sacs or something in order to make them unable to spit, or something like that in my opinion. Their sacs essentially being a damage sponge is just insane

[@ravensailiata]

I'm not gonna sugar coat it Supply Pack+GL against bugs makes you unstoppable to anything except Chargers, Bile Titans, and Shriekers But I bring A machine gun turret(Surprisingly good at AA) for shriekers and EATs(or a 500KG) for Titans/Chargers.

Bile spewers are annoying for sure. Especially the artillery type. But the issue you are talking about isnt unique to them. It is a major issue with this game that nobody talks about. The audio design is like a 6/10. Most guns sound good, music is great, voice work is passable. But enemies make little to no noise of any kind. Compare to a game like Darktide where generally you hear enemies coming long before you see them. You should know when a 60-ton behemoth of a bot or bug is 5 feet behind you, but it is almost always a surprise. So many times smashed in the bacj by a charger I had NO CLUE was there. Or turning around and seeing a literal horde of berzerker bots covered in chainsaw blades and flames that made absolutely no sound to speak of. The devs dropped the ball super hard on that but they literally want you to die in HD2 because it is funny to watch for your teammates and immersive to the universe because SuperEarth is E.V.I.L

[@kookthekid8338]

This is honestly a very fair point, you don't really get good sound cues for pretty much anything, besides maybe when a bug pops out of the ground. I play Rainbow a lot with my friends, which is pretty much the only game that I play off from the channel, and comparing the sound cues from rainbow to helldivers there's a pretty massive difference. Not even knowing if a bile titan is sneaking up on you is pretty insane ngl.
