Helldivers 2 recently released its new Escalation of Freedom update, bringing a host of changes and additions, including new enemy types like the Impalers and the terrifying Spore Chargers. These new bug enemies are more challenging than ever, with the Spore Chargers emitting a green fog that obscures their location, making them difficult to spot until it’s too late.
To locate a Spore Charger, players should be on the lookout for the fog that surrounds them, which quickly engulfs the area. These enemies are more common on higher difficulty levels, starting around level 6 or 7. When facing a Spore Charger, it’s important to have weapons that pack a punch and can lock on to the target.
In order to defeat a Spore Charger, players should consider using explosive weapons like the Expendable Anti-Tank rocket launcher, Commando, or Spear. These weapons can help break through the Charger’s armor and take them out efficiently. The Spear, in particular, is useful for its lock-on function, which can help players target the Charger even in the midst of the fog.
For those who prefer to take out Spore Chargers from a safe distance, using stratagems like the Orbital Railcannon Strike or the Eagle 110MM Rocket Pods can be effective. These stratagems automatically lock on to the largest target in the area, making them ideal for dealing with mobile enemies like the Spore Chargers.
If players choose to engage a Spore Charger up close, they should aim for the exposed sides and underside of the Charger, where their armor is weaker. However, this approach may consume more ammo and time, so using stratagems is often a more efficient method of dealing with these enemies.
Overall, being well-informed and prepared is key to successfully taking on the challenging new bug enemies in Helldivers 2. By utilizing the right weapons and strategies, players can effectively defeat Spore Chargers and contribute to the fight against the bug threat in the Second Galactic War. So gear up, stay alert, and show those bugs who’s boss!
