The Terminids swarm with cannon fodder bugs in Helldivers 2, but adversaries like the Chargers can pose a significant challenge for solo players. This guide will elucidate how you can efficiently defeat these bug beasts and any other armored foes in the game.
How to Beat Chargers Solo in Helldivers 2
To tackle Chargers solo, utilize terrain features like rocks to maneuver behind them and target their vulnerable spots or employ grenades. Chargers are slower than other Terminids, with all their armor concentrated in the front, necessitating strategies to expose their weak points. Leading the bug in a circular chase or swiftly darting behind it as it advances are effective tactics.
I suggest employing a rock or similar obstacle initially. By engaging in a circular movement with the Charger in pursuit, you gain access to its critical spot. From this vantage point, you can lob grenades at its feet to catch it in the blast radius as it follows or utilize Support Weapons for damage output. Utilizing the first-person perspective can enhance your accuracy.
Alternatively, utilize the full-dive mechanic when the bug executes a full-charge attack. This maneuver swiftly propels your Helldiver to the ground, ready to retaliate with a weapon. Employ weapons like a Machine Gun to penetrate the orange back of the armored Terminid.
Similar lesser Terminids with analogous mechanics exist in Helldivers 2, though they exhibit slightly faster movement and weaker defenses. As a solo player, employing Support Weapons from the front enables you to dismantle their armor swiftly and proceed to counter any other threatening Terminid groups menacing Super Earth.
