How to Defeat Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2

[LunarShadowX]

Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2 are some of the more frustrating enemies you’ll encounter, especially when you’re trying to push through missions with a tight squad. These grotesque, acid-spewing aliens may look slow, but their range and area-of-effect attacks can quickly turn a simple encounter into chaos if you’re not prepared. After spending hours tackling them, I’ve picked up a few strategies that consistently work.

Understand Their Attack Patterns
Bile Spewers primarily attack from a distance, launching globs of acidic bile that deal heavy damage over time. They have a noticeable wind-up before each attack, giving you a brief window to dodge or reposition. Keeping your distance and staying mobile is key. If you’re playing with a team, spread out to avoid multiple players getting hit at once.

Weapons and Loadouts
High-damage, rapid-fire weapons are ideal for taking down Bile Spewers quickly. Shotguns work well in close quarters, but be cautious of their acid spray. Precision rifles or automatic weapons allow you to maintain distance while consistently chipping away at their health. I’ve also found that using explosives strategically can stagger them, giving you a critical opening.

Environmental Advantage
Always be aware of your surroundings. Using cover is essential, especially when you’re trying to avoid the larger patches of acid on the ground. If possible, lure Bile Spewers into narrow corridors where your team can funnel firepower effectively. Terrain manipulation and positioning often make the difference between a clean kill and a squad wipe.

Team Coordination
Helldivers 2 is built around teamwork, and Bile Spewers exemplify that. Assign one player to focus on crowd control while others target the Bile Spewer directly. Coordinated attacks reduce the risk of being overwhelmed, and revives are much easier when fewer players are getting hit at once.

Resource Management
Don’t forget to check your inventory before engaging. Having the right grenades or consumables can turn the tide of battle. For players looking to stock up, you can buy Helldivers 2 super credits to access more powerful gear or check the Helldivers 2 items shop for situational equipment that can give you an edge.

Defeating Bile Spewers is all about patience, positioning, and knowing when to strike. Once you master these strategies, these enemies become far less intimidating, letting you focus on the larger threats Helldivers 2 throws at you.
