Helldivers 2 Bile Spewers location and how to kill them

Helldivers 2 Bile Spewers are some of the first Terminid faction enemies you’ll come up against in Arrowhead Game Studios’ popular third-person shooter, but that by no means makes them a weak enemy. With strong armour and their eponymous bile, they can be a challenge if you aren’t prepared. That’s why we’re here to help you find and kill them with ease.

If you’re preparing to take on some Bile Spewers, or any other Terminid threats for that matter, make sure you’ve got the Helldivers 2 best weapons and Helldivers 2 best armor. With that, let’s take a look at the Bile Spewers location and how to kill them in Helldivers 2.

Where to find Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2

Bile Spewers can be found on Terminid-occupied planets in the eastern areas of the galaxy. As an armoured enemy, you won’t find Bile Spewers below Medium difficulty, so make sure you have your settings at the right level. You’ll also need to be at least Level 5 before you can start encountering them.

If you’re specifically looking for them, your best bets are to check out planets like Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, and Turing in the Umlaut sector. See if you have any Exterminate Bugs missions on these planets and jump in to try and find them.

How to kill Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2

Because of the difficulty requirement, it can be quite hard to kill Bile Spewers as a solo player, or in a smaller group. They are heavily armoured but do have a weak spot, in the form of the green, glowing areas on their abdomen.

Because they aren’t the fastest enemies, you should be able to strafe around them, reaching their weak spot on their backs, where you’ll want to use a fast-firing, high-damage weapon to deal as much damage as possible. Avoiding the front also means you’ll avoid their bile spit attack, which can deal high damage if you aren’t careful.

Alex’s Advice

One of our preferred weapons for quickly taking down a Bile Spewer is the Recoilless Rifle. Hit their weak spot with a couple of shots and they won’t know what hit them. The same goes for Orbital Strikes and Eagle stratagems too.

If you kill one by hitting its weak spot, be aware that they can potentially explode, dealing plenty of damage to you, so keep a little distance. Additionally, if you’re playing on higher difficulties, they gain an additional attack where they will rain acid from the sky, which can quickly finish you off if you aren’t careful.

Long story short, walk around them until you can clearly see their glowing green abdomens, hit them hard with your strongest weapons, and keep far enough away that you don’t get caught in the explosion. If you can’t reach behind them, try chucking a couple of grenades behind them instead.
