Fear not, though; we're here to tell you how to defeat Chargers. Although\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0provides you with plenty of firepower for every combat situation, defeating a Charger requires stronger weapons, plenty of focus, and a willingness to dive head-first into danger, so they're not for the faint of heart. If you need to take down a Charger and want a guide on everything you need to know, we've got you covered. The best way to eliminate Chargers in Helldivers 2 Specific missions\u00a0may require you to\u00a0eliminate Chargers\u00a0in\u00a0Helldivers 2,\u00a0but\u00a0this enemy type is not just restricted to those deployments, and you may come face-to-face with Chargers while completing other missions in Terminid zones. This enemy type is heavily armored and will become a regular site when playing on Challenging difficulty\u00a0or above, but specific target missions can occur at lower difficulty levels, and you'll need to be well prepared to take them down. The\u00a0easiest way to take down a Charger is by using a Recoilless Rifle or an Expendable Anti-Tank Launcher,\u00a0both of which can kill a Charger in just a couple of hits or expose weak points to basic weapon fire, while\u00a0the Railgun is also useful.\u00a0If you are about to begin a mission where Chargers are likely to be encountered,\u00a0you should equip at least one of these Stratagems. If you're lacking any of the above Stratagems, or if they're on cooldown,\u00a0aim fire at the back of the Charger, where it has an exposed weakpoint.\u00a0Getting behind a Charger can be difficult, however, so you may need to use one of your teammates as bait. When fighting a Charger, be aware of the other bugs that will attack at the same time. While they're nowhere near as threatening, you can be quickly overrun if you focus solely on the Charger.\u00a0Using a turret is a great way to mow down smaller enemies while you focus on the main threat.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/HELLDIVERS2_20240208114904.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1129574"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1145481,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574\/revisions\/1145481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1126225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1129574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1129574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Fear not, though; we're here to tell you how to defeat Chargers. Although\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0provides you with plenty of firepower for every combat situation, defeating a Charger requires stronger weapons, plenty of focus, and a willingness to dive head-first into danger, so they're not for the faint of heart. If you need to take down a Charger and want a guide on everything you need to know, we've got you covered. The best way to eliminate Chargers in Helldivers 2 Specific missions\u00a0may require you to\u00a0eliminate Chargers\u00a0in\u00a0Helldivers 2,\u00a0but\u00a0this enemy type is not just restricted to those deployments, and you may come face-to-face with Chargers while completing other missions in Terminid zones. This enemy type is heavily armored and will become a regular site when playing on Challenging difficulty\u00a0or above, but specific target missions can occur at lower difficulty levels, and you'll need to be well prepared to take them down. The\u00a0easiest way to take down a Charger is by using a Recoilless Rifle or an Expendable Anti-Tank Launcher,\u00a0both of which can kill a Charger in just a couple of hits or expose weak points to basic weapon fire, while\u00a0the Railgun is also useful.\u00a0If you are about to begin a mission where Chargers are likely to be encountered,\u00a0you should equip at least one of these Stratagems. If you're lacking any of the above Stratagems, or if they're on cooldown,\u00a0aim fire at the back of the Charger, where it has an exposed weakpoint.\u00a0Getting behind a Charger can be difficult, however, so you may need to use one of your teammates as bait. When fighting a Charger, be aware of the other bugs that will attack at the same time. While they're nowhere near as threatening, you can be quickly overrun if you focus solely on the Charger.\u00a0Using a turret is a great way to mow down smaller enemies while you focus on the main threat.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/HELLDIVERS2_20240208114904.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1129574"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1145481,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129574\/revisions\/1145481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1126225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1129574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1129574"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1129574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
