Can Every Support Weapon Kill Bile Titans? Helldivers 2 Tips & Guide 

The spear has to have some defective manufacturing design flaws implemented by dissident sabotage groups funded by the automatons, because it's ability to look at a bug the size of a building and say "No I don't think I will lock on" is absolutely mind boggling.

"he jumped to hit me with a phone call" LMAO

Not being able to cook the BT with flamethrower from underneath is the biggest disappointment in this game.

The railgun took so long our Dough bro got time to change his shirt.

I refuse to believe its intended to take 19 shots of rg to kill a titan that's absurd.

bro i want you to know you are doing the ENTIRE community a gigantic favor. Just having numbers like these to be able to call on at any moment is so useful and allows for other people to take it even further.

Autocannon and Railgun taking the same amount of shots while one of them is directly in the head and the other is on the belly is just ridiculous ngl LMAO

To clarify as a PS5 player, the Railgun bug ONLY WORKS if you join someone who is playing on PS5, regardless of platform. If you play solo or host on PS5, you will not get the bug.

Vs bots, the railgun is still viable, but why use it over the anti material rifle (aside from enjoyment)? They accomplish the exact same things, but anti material rifle is safer because it's quicker as it doesn't require charging. And while auto cannon does require a backpack slot, it also has the added utility of closing fabricators. The railgun legitimately has nothing going for it that others weapons can't accomplish. If it's going to be weak, it should at least fill its own niche, but it doesn't even do that.

So stupid you just die if you touch a bile Titan while it’s still

There's a few things I think Arrowhead may have written off because of their testing setups. Someone posted evidence that DoT damage just doesn't work if you're not hosting the lobby, and someone suggested that Arrowhead might not even be aware of it because they're always hosting in their testing setups, meaning they couldn't replicate it. It could be the same for the PS5 buff

Saw a video somewhere talking about that armoured parts have two different health pools. They have a separate pool for the armour itself and separate pool for the limb part. However, some armours are marked as critical (bile titan and charger heads for example) which means if the armour is broken, the unit dies. (This is why you cannot see a titan or charger with the head armour broken but they are simply missing the head). Things like EAT/Recoilless/Quasar deal little actual damage but high damage to armour where as Railgun deals high damage. It is possible that the PS5 buff does something wonky on the health pool of the titan head but leaves the armour pool intact so that's why the Quasar after the railgun didn't kill, railgun takes less than half off the armour pool and quasar takes less than half off the health pool.

I think the most impressive is the HMG

9:32 Because we happen to know exact armor penetration value of impact granade - 4, it's specifies that in tooltip in-game. So it might be because granade launcher has lesser armor penetration value.

I absolutely love how detailed and yet to the point your videos are. You actually test everything and show footage with your claims. You get into each segment quick, and move on to the next with correct timing. Your videos flow pretty well imo.

i feel like recoilless is a superb weapon with a coordinated team because you can dump 7 rockets into something in a strangely small amount of time, for example you can wipe a shrieker nest from across the map in less than 10 seconds with a teammate reloading you. the recoilless is goated with team loading. you could annihilate 3 bile titans and wound a 4th in very little time. but team loading takes coordination which is hard with randoms and it takes solid aim which are its main drawbacks. (i may be biased, I love this gun)

A yes, the real spear experience. Point, click , click , click , click , click , click. Then roll a D4 on if the lock will “green tone” or just disappears. Even aiming at the triangle makes no difference I can discern. After the crash and game-freeze bugs it’s top of my list for fixes needed.

I counted 56 Arc Thrower shots in this video to various parts of the body.

Devs: The Railgun is brain dead gameplay because you can one tap Bile Titans if you have a PS5 player in your squad. Also Devs: Here’s the Quasar Laser Cannon. It can two tap Bile Titans out of the gate, can’t blow you up, has infinite ammo, and doesn’t use a backpack slot.

Wilburs got his homies on speed dial

holy shit , heavy machine gun two mags the bile titan?!?!?

Objective reason autocannon is better vs bots than railgun vs bots: The autocannon can literally take care of 90% of targets and the only ones it can't (certain objectives that need hellbomb call in or higher explosive damage strats) the railgun can't either. Autocannon can take out every enemy type the bots can throw at you in a maximum of 4 shots (tanks/turrets) with most taking 1 or 2 well placed shots including hulks. The autocannon can take out fabricators from as far as you can make out the vents. I'm not saying the railgun is bad, I'm just saying one of the two doesn't have an essentially useless fire mode and can take out objectives while the other is a glorified can opener that can blow up in your hands.

That editing of the weapon icons at the top of the screen is pretty neat

love these weapon tests, been having a blast on terminid planets now that i know what works against them. good stuff.

it was 14 autocannon shots. 10 in mag, 5 from one reload, one miss.

The spear to me seems to work MUCH MIUCH better than for you. I dont know why. it is still not 100% consistent. It is the coolest looking bile titan 1 shot.

I really enjoyed the format of this video. Thank you for the info, man.

Nice little touch with the loading bar on each weapon at the top, I appreciate that!

I like a lot the time line at the tip of the screen, really helpful and cool So sad that the Spear lock on doesn't work well and hasn't been fixed yet, being able to one shot a bile titan its great

Now THIS!! Is a great content video. Opposed to "this gun is the new meta" let people see for themselves what the weapon does and let them choose. Great content.

You sending out some quality videos bro, really like the weapons at top of screen, nice touch.

The way u got the progress bar at the top is AWESOME!!!!!

Holy smokes this video took a lot of work. Very good job!

The heavy machine gun killing a bile titan at all is wild, but two mags? God damn brother

That footage of the flamethrower killing heavies in 1.5 seconds after the buff was one of the most successful gaslights I've ever seen. That was circulating everywhere

Ok here is my take on the whole autocannon vs raigun against bots diecussion Autocannon can do everything the railgun can do but without charging, it can also destroy fabricators amd take down bruisers, but you do loose your bagpack slot I personally will always bring thr autocannon vs bots, but i can understand railgun

I know a lot of people are doing similar videos as this but let me say that I appreciate the detail that you are putting in to play, video capture and do legit commentary. Thank you brother, good work.

The Spear is a Long Range Support Weapon. It's not meant to be fired point blank, because the onboard Computer needs a clear sight picture to lock on, and the javelin takes time to launch out, and speed up. I've one shot Bile Titans, bot cannon turrets, tanks, hulks, chargers, and even bot fabricators from like, 200+ meters away. And it can one shot the turret cannon on the new factory striders.

Appreciate your hard work brother, you and claysthetics are the best helldivers YTers. The spear needs some major buffs to lock on and its ammo pack should be changed so that it (and the recoilless) get most if not all of the ammo back from one resupply, and assisted reloads should be able to be done by teammates coming over to you while you wear the backpack.

Seriously appreciate your work here.

the thing with “this gun is better than that gun” is that a lot of the time it’s just that one weapon is better for your playstyle.

To finesse the spear targeting, mark your target with a ping and scope in certain parts of the enemies lock on better. Also, I notice it's way less reliable when aiming through smoke but it could be coincidence. And for the arc thrower when I aim slightly above the bile titans head I get more consistent 1 shots with it

Love how you say Brother. Hell yeah brother. I love doing tests like this myself. A lot of info is left out due to meta chasers.

i was loosing my mind wondering why sometimes the railgun just goes godmode for awhile and other times feels like piss. this answered so many questions

Something that really helps when running the arc thrower is shooting out the belly first, scorcher can do it super fast. Obvious, I know but makes a really big difference for the time to kill. Still far from an ideal weapon for it, but its good to know you can, on top of how great it is against the other bugs

for a backpack and support slot the spear needs more consistency to be considered over the other options. The HMG needs more ammo as well to be considered.

hulk visor and titan belly is lv4 medium armour. AMR, HMG, Autocannon and impacts (as you can see in the stats) are lv4 pen. GPMG and other primaries are lv3 while LMG is lv2 etc. Meanwhile the heavy hitters are lv7 pen

Now _this_ is the content I'm subscribed for! Great job! Re: Railgun I hope the PS5 bug didn't affect the first rebalancing pass. Hopefully, the devs will address this issue and rebalance the weapon properly in the future.

So the railgun and autocannon took the same amount of shots, just one took way longer lol

Dude I appreciate the effort this took

Something I've noticed while playing, if you manage to have a part of the titans back blown off from say a rail cannon or rocket pods it seems to only take 1 or 2 impact grenades into the gooey bits. Haven't done any specific testing, just something I have been doing when the opportunity presents and it seems to work pretty consistently.

a little tip for the arc thrower... if u have the Timing down i'd recommend to change to first person aspecially for killing bile titans bc u can then aim and hit without random shots going to the belly

I do a precision orbital strike and granade launcher combo, break the back armour with the strike and a full mag(sometimes less) of granade launcher. It also helps a lot if you have a supply backpack.

They need to let us land on the Bile Titan to headshot it. Gives Legolas vibes from LotR

I’ve killer many Bile Titans with the flame thrower. What I do is get below it, and fire that hotness upwards. It takes longer than other weapons to kill a Titan, but not as long as most of the rest. I think it takes around 2 1/2 canisters to kill a Titan. And it becomes harder if you’re surrounded by an army of bugs. But it is doable 🔥

W dough vid yet again! Keep up the good fight against them bugs o7

Qusar is my favourite, 2 shots bile titan when hitting the head, 1 shot charger hitting head, infinite ammo, can shoot across the map, destroy bug holes, destroy shreiker and spore nests

Not sure what you were doing wrong, but I regularly kill Bile Titans with the Flamethrower - it takes about 18-25 seconds of continuous flame on the head to drop it. Though it's somewhat inconsistent, I believe that the Bile Titan takes more damage if it's mouth is open - mid puking on you. Edit: This is with Enhanced Combustion.

Bruh the pouncer at 4:44 😂😂

I use the arc thrower almost exclusively and I *usually* 4-5 shot bile titans. Think the worst I've had was 10. I was really adept at BTs and chargers with the recoilless, but the no ammo for the arc thrower makes it my primary weapon 90% of the time, occasionally I pull my main out for hunters or melee bots

I have had experience is where a bile titan has taken 4 hits from a disposable rocket launchered the face and survived.

That's solid Information, thanks! The real question is, why do you have Info about Ressources on the Map in your HUD? 9:17 That seems useful as well.

I've had more consistent success with the arc thrower hitting the titan from the side, and having something else under/near for the lightning to jump to. it's wildly inconsistent but really satisfying to blow up a titan or a charger in 1 hit.

Grenade launcher and flamer are at penetration3, a broken titan belly is at armor level4(same as hulk's visor), you need at least HMG/AMR shots to go through

I think railgun needs a buff anyway, you have to keep an eye at what you're aiming at AND the power level, and you can lose both your life AND the railgun if you fail it. 6:16 Holding the button will make the Spear shoot as soon as the lock on is confirmed. There's a glow when you hit the Titan by the way, it clearly hit his face

I've never taken notice of just how much weapons have been nerfed till watching this video today. Half these aren't even viable anymore

The quasar cannon is probably best weapon since it doesn’t need ammo. Rail gun is my second option if I wanna switch things up or plan to just run away from the big guys.

I love autocannon for bots, can deal with pretty much any unit besides tanks unless you get behind it. You can shoot the faceplate of hulks 2-3 times with it to kill them

First time I used the EAT against titans, I one shot two in succession. T’was nuts

The heavy machine ~1.5 mag is honestly pretty surprising, you could probably just break its guts and finish it off with well placed 110mm rocket pods

The little things for your presentation are pretty fly.

Ones you have shot the body from underneath, it will bleed out, so you do not need to keep shooting necessarily.

I’m fairly sure the Recoilless can one shot titans if you hit it in a very specific spot on the top of the head. But it’s not very consistent snd you can usually only count on a 2 shot kill

I've loved spear vs bots. Sniping all towers, heavies, smaller bases, strat jammer(shoot fabricator next to it) not good vs dropships. Spear, 110mm, orbital rail and laser are my favorite loads.

With the gunships, the Railgun is absolutely worse than the autocannon

Im glad i found out that the railgun takes so many shots now. I was trying it the other day, and i just thought i was hitting around its head or aomething and thats why i wasnt killing it.

You need to fully see the target for the spears targeting computer realizes what it's looking at. Distance and high ground is your friend.

I know it's very possible to kill bile titans with the flamethrower, but I aimed at the head. I can't be entirely sure though as it was always damaged with ETA before. If you can ever check again, I'd love to see it. Thanks for the info on everything!

with the flamethrower you really gotta break its back armor then roast it, then it'll die faast

4:23 that hunter needed to report your findings

Can you test how much damage shooting down the dropships actually do to the bots?

Awesome, thanks man! Was hoping the AMR might take the bile titan faster than that, 8 mags is rough. Autocannon definitely works though! That Quasar is just a beast, think it’s my new favourite Edit: also pleasantly surprised by the HMG, but they need to double its mag size. 75 round is pathetic for the type of weapon it is, especially with only two spares

I rarely can 2 shot a bile with the quasar, do you know where i need to specificaly hit it?

It only works once every few minutes but orbital rail cannon to Crack the armor and a couple grenades from the launcher is ez mode vs biles.

Damage does stay the same for difficulty, however, other aspects might chanage, like mob Armor, specifically on bugs. When I was using breaker a lot(Pre Sickle and before I unlocked Slugger)......I was shooting Bile Spewers(The green ones, the brown ones are Bile Nurses)in the head and it worked great on Difficulty 4(Virtually all white and red X hitmarkers) On Difficulty 7+, however, a LOT of 'Armor Deflect' hitmarkers pop up and they are more difficult to kill. Not just the odd one symbol out that seems to be a random but rare glitch, but pretty consistently.....and all in Solo play on PC. No "lookout mr president" Wilburs or Hunters getting in the way or anything like that. If you're looking for other things to test, that might be one to consider. Dev's have been very cagey about armor levels(especially as armor was literally broke for a while), they talk about light and medium penetrating, and presumably heavy armor like charger heads(so 3 total), but then have said it's actually like 1-10....so their word seems a little suspect on some things.

Auto cannon is far better than Railgun. It’s good for both bots and bugs and serves as a utility because you can crush outposts and bug holes. That’s without people loading you… If you have someone loading you, you can mow down damn near any horde

Didn't talk about the recoiless enough, you said that the EAT and quaser both have a cooldown but the recoiless is just a reload, even better if your teammate reloads it for you. So by far the best option is the recoiless with a teammate cause you can pump out 2 shots to the face in 3 seconds

Its insane to me how the Railgun went from being a weapon of mass destruction capable of one-shotting the strongest enemies in the game, to being a pea shooter

The Quasar is one shot to the mouth if you can hit it accurately

The great thing about autocannons is being able to kill Shrieker nests from across the map. If only the SPEAR could... If only the SPEAR could lock onto anything.

Anecdotally speaking, I actually have more success shooting the back of the Bile Titan rather than the face with the arc thrower unless I'm on a raised platform such that I am level with the Titan's face.

The Arc Thrower is just how lucky are you, but I love it

I could be wrong but I heard those squishy bits on the bile titans and chargers only take 10% off any damage applied to those areas.

I’ve one shot bile titans on helldive with EAT before. It might depend on if you hit the forehead, mouth, or chin.

Railgun can one shot if you shoot them perfectly in the head, I did it once, although I cant remember if it was in the mouth or neck

Don't know if this was before an update or not but with the combustion ship module I was able to kill a Bile titan with the flame thrower, granted it was with the help of a orbital rail canon but I believe I could I could kill one with 2 canisters.

Holy shit I had no idea you could actually kill the bile titan by just shooting a shitload at its butt. This is mighty democratic information

So what your saying is we need at least one PS5 player in every lobby for maximum levels of Democracy.

I've become a big fan of Beam guns in Sci-Fi worlds. Frankly... I really want a Laser Cannon Turret now as well. A Laser *Cannon* Turret.

If you range a scoped weapon, it will change the magnification of the scope. Not all scopes.
