Helldivers 2 New Patch 01.000.400 Brings Change To Behemoth Charger
The damage you deal in Helldivers 2 can vary depending on the weapon used, the enemy type, and the difficulty level.
Moreover, the recent update has introduced changes that affect the overall damage mechanics and enemy resistance.
As a result, some players are experiencing differences in the number of shots required to take down tough enemies like the Behemoth Charger and Bile Titan.
Behemoth Charger Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, the Behemoth Charger is a heavily armored enemy. Thus, to effectively damage it, you must target its weak spots.
You need to target its head or front legs; however, you must use Anti-armor weapons for this purpose.
At level three, it’s possible to rip the armor off a charger’s leg with two well-charged railgun shots.
The health of the Charger’s head has been lowered, making it vulnerable to instant kills with a well-placed shot from a Recoilless Rifle or EAT-17.
Further, the Charger Behemoth is introduced in the new battle and higher difficulty levels, and it can take more damage than before in the update.
As a result, players can generate fewer chargers while maintaining the same difficulty.
A headshot on Chargers now instantly kills with a well-placed shot from a Recoilless Rifle or EAT-17.
Titan Variants In Helldivers 2
The Bile Titan is a significant threat, and while it does not have variants. However, it requires specific tactics and weapons to defeat.
Generally, tactics include drawing its attention and targeting its weak spots. Players can target its underbelly or mouth with weapons like the Railgun or anti-tank launchers.
Stratagem Balance
A major focus of the update was on balancing Stratagems. The rocket launcher, machine gun, autocannon, gatling gun, and mortar sentries have all seen changes.
Further, the new patch includes an 80% increase in durability and a decrease in a spread when targeting larger enemies.
There’s a 30% improvement in weapon handling. As a result, weapons are easier to maneuver, aim, and shoot, leading to a smoother combat experience.
Finally, melee attacks are now 50% more powerful, allowing players to deal more damage in close combat situations.
Galactic War Table
New supply lines are added to the Galactic War Table, which represents the connections between planets and the flow of resources and reinforcements.
Further, players can now see where each planet gets its support, which allows for more strategic decisions on where to attack or defend.
However, the direction from which invasions are coming is now clearly marked, enabling players to intercept enemy forces more effectively.
FS-38 Eradicator Buffed In The Patch
The new FS-38 Eradicator, available in the superstore, has super-light armor and fortified 50% explosion resistance.
FS-38 Eradicator has undergone some changes in the latest patch. The weapon has been tweaked to offer better survivability against explosive damage.
This can be a significant change for players who frequently encounter such threats in the game.
