Apparently you can shoot the rear legs with an autocannon and two shot it as well. Nice!

I was bitching "chargers need a patch", now im like "damn, it was a skill issue all along"

[ReNaN]

Man, this game could really use a bestiary like the one in Deep Rock Galactic. It has information about weakspots, resistences and weakness of every enemy in the game. It even has a 3D model of the enemies that you can mess around.

[TheMagicalWizardPyro]

Something of note, you only deal 10% damage to the chargers 'weakspot' (same with bile spewers) unless your gun deals explosive damage. The CEO clarified that bug weakspots work that way recently, which seems a bit unintuitive.

[TheDubDisciple]

Great info the flamethrower is definitely an under appreciated weapon. It takes a steady hand, one guided with the fervour of liberty

[Mikalent]

Good for fighting the bugs.... too bad I'm stuck in Robot Nam, there's only about 10k of us keeping them in check, and we haven't even liberated a single planet.

[Spyger]

Consider also the Orbital EMS

It has a 75s CD, a very quick deploy time, and will paralyze both the charger and anything around it. This allows ~15 seconds of easy access to THE BOOTY, which you can rip apart with small arms fire or your likely early-game companion- the Machine Gun support weapon.

To ensure accuracy, enter the stratagem code to hold the beacon, then evade the charger so that it stops to turn around. Now throw the beacon, and prepare to circle around to THE BOOTY if your teammates don't already have it covered.

Took a long gaming hiatus, then suddenly I'm playing this game clocking 32hrs in 4 days.

[Grimbonez]

I dont play this game, but im pro-freedom, so i need to know effective ways to deal with freedom haters, so, here i am.

[videonmode]

Very nice breakdown, if that's one thing the game doesn't always communicate effectively is what kind of armor the enemy has and what weapons are more ideal for removing said armor.
I get not having to hand hold the players but it wouldn't be bad to have a compendium of enemies you can read up on to learn more about their weakness.

I was hoping to see this technique, but it was glossed over.

To all Helldivers and to you, Ratatoskr, you can kill the Charger with an Autocannon.

On nearly every plated spot of the Charger, the Autocannon will deflect off. However, the Charger is vulnerable to Autocannon fire in its rearmost legs. Not the fleshy butt!! Its rearmost legs.

It is important to note that the angle of attack matters. Do not shoot the Autocannon on the *side* of its rear legs. The only part of its rear legs that are vulnerable are the rear facing plated leg armor adjacent to its butt. You hit that straight on, and in 2 autocannon shots, it goes down.

The process goes as such:

1. Charger charges
2. You charge slightly to the side; Charger overshoots.
3. You turn around, hit the rear-plated legs.

You only have a short window of time to line up the shot and nail him. For beginners of this technique, you may need the Charger to charge at you twice in order to nail thw technique. But with enough experience, you should be able to two-tap the Charger in one go!

But to be fair, these techniques in Ratatoskr's video are *far* easier to pull off. But in a pinch, you'll have yourself the most versatile weapon to kill nearly everything in sight - the Autocannon!

Flamethrower seems legit. Thanks for the upload👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[beheadedfrito]

I feel like people forget about the eat, so i'm glad you showed it off. 2 eats every minute is solid rocket power.

[wDubsy]

Hey! Appreciate this guide! I love how you included the fact to kill them sustainably rather than using a nuke and call it ggez.

[robinfox]

I like how you present multiple options, not just railgun. The recoilless is also very effective when used as a team. Buddy up with a friend though because random players you don't know are more likely to be allergic to teamwork.

[Shadowflare]

I'd want to point something out here about the expendable anti tank. So firstly, you don't need to shoot its leg then shoot that leg with a primary weapon. If you get a headshot, it'll take the charger down in a single hit, no extra fuss. The easiest way to do a headshot is to aim the EAT and wait for the charger to turn around and start its charge.
But a really effective strategy is to use the EAT pod itself to kill the charger. It takes some practice, but if you miss then the worst case scenario is that you use the EAT itself the same way you always would. So there's no reason to not try to land the strategem ball on the charger somewhere every time. If you manage to tag the charger around its body or head, you'll kill it with the EAT pod. You then have two EAT's that can potentially kill two additional chargers with a headshot.
I've managed to take out three chargers with an EAT drop before and I can't tell you how satisfying the experience is

Hope you will do a lot of videos on helldivers 2, you make great video content !
This game is a blast and pure fun and your guides and discussions are really simple and good for the community .
For SUPER EARTH, DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY .

My friends and I did a meme run and did flamethrower + bonesnapper armor. Pop a stim and then go in a horde. It actually no joke, clears the armored enemies really well. If you start getting overwhelmed and are about to get killed faster than your stim can pop you back, swap to your primary (in our cases it's typically a shotgun. The breaker or incendiary shotgun will do) and spam to get them off of you. They'd be guaranteed dead since they're already taking damage from getting burned. It's stupid fun!

[snowman]

I have nothing to say but bravo on this production. Concise, informative, well organized, and filled with the spirit of freedom. Hell yeah.

[just_bladeok]

Also for when you really can't be bothered that day you can throw resupply, special weapon, minefields or sentry turret stratagems onto it's back and the drop pod will insta-kill it upon landing no matter the health (you'll want to hit the top of it's back/ass, anywhere else and ball may bounce off)
