Helldivers 2 has quickly become a massive success. This third-person co-op shooter went beyond everyone’s expectations in sales and is still going strong. The reason for this success is pretty self-explanatory; it is a very well-made game. In the sea of live service titles that are released every day, this gamer stands out due to its well-designed gameplay mechanics and polish.
But like any other well-made game, it challenges its players. Various hard-to-defeat enemies crowd its levels. Several bosses take more than just shooting to be defeated. Berserkers, devastators, hulks, and tanks are the worst of those enemies. Here are some tips and tricks that can make defeating them easier.
How to easily defeat Berserkers in Helldivers 2
Berserker is a heavily armored enemy that belongs to the Automaton faction of Helldivers 2. They are a tough egg to crack, but they are not much of a problem if players keep their distance. They do not cause much issue at a distance because they do not shoot much; they have a very dangerous melee attack, though.
And so, if players want to get rid of them, they can do one of two things: keep their distance or equip a weapon with heavy damage at a long distance, such as a sniper, and aim for its head. They are mostly armored, and snipers can make quick work of their health bar if aimed at the head.
How to easily defeat the Devastators in Helldivers 2
While Berserkers are mostly deadly at melee range, Devastators need to be eliminated as fast as possible, as they are very dangerous at a distance. They use rocket launchers to make a player’s life hell.
To defeat these hellraisers, players need to once again equip a very high-powered rifle, or a powerful assault rifle, and aim at their exposed heads. As most of their body is heavily armored, their head remains their only weak point.
How to easily defeat Hulks in Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, there are a number of robot enemies to fight, but Hulks are one enemy that can make one’s life difficult in a number of ways. Berserkers are fatal at close range; devastators are fatal at distance; but hulks can prove fatal in both instances. Its head is its exposed weakness, but it cannot be targeted because Hulks have a Gatling gun that can chew through a player’s health in seconds. Players can’t get too close, as it has a flame thrower equipped for that
.
The best way to deal with this problem is to get behind it. Players have to be fast and nimble and get behind it. On their back, the Hulks have a large weak point, and players can get behind it and target there. Besides that, players must use as many explosive stratagems as they can. Those can make quick work of a Hulk’s armor.
How to easily defeat tanks in Helldivers 2
Tanks are the real challenge in Helldivers 2. Players can spend hours killing automatons and have the best weapons, yet these tanks would make quick work out of them. But this does not mean they are immortal; there is a way to defeat them, and it’s not very complicated either, but doing it can be a bit hard.
There’s a glowing part behind its cannon that can be targeted. It can be defeated pretty quickly if players are fast and accurate in doing so. Besides that, stay in cover and use heavy damage attacks such as airstrikes and orbital attacks to eat through a tank’s health.
These are some of the strongest and hardest enemies to defeat in Helldivers 2. Here’s hoping this guide helps players defeat them swiftly.
