Helldivers 2 Guide: How to Fight and Defeat Hulks

Dec 21

In Helldivers 2, Hulks are big, tough enemies from the Automaton faction. They are heavily armored and dangerous, but you can beat them with the right plan. Here’s a simple guide to help you take them down:

What Are Hulks?

Hulks are giant robot enemies with strong weapons. There are three types:

Bruiser Hulk: Uses machine guns.
Obliterator Hulk: Fires rockets.
Scorcher Hulk: Attacks with flamethrowers.

You’ll find them on planets controlled by Automatons, especially on harder missions like Challenging or Helldive. Some missions, like "Eliminate Automaton Hulk," always have them.

How to Beat Hulks

Aim for Weak Spots
- Back Vent: Hulks have a vent on their back. Shooting it does big damage. Get behind them to hit this spot.
- Head: Their head is also a weak spot, but it’s small and harder to hit.
Use Strong Weapons
- Explosives: Weapons like the Orbital Precision Strike can deal massive damage.
- Anti-Materiel Rifle: Aimed shots at the weak spots are very powerful.
Break Their Arms
- Destroying a Hulk’s arms makes it less dangerous. Use weapons like the Recoilless Rifle or Railgun to take them out.
Keep Your Distance
- Stay far away to avoid their attacks. Use cover to hide when needed.
Work with Your Team
- In co-op, one teammate can distract the Hulk while others shoot its weak spots.

Extra Tips

Flamethrower Hulks (Scorcher): Stay far away from their flames—they do a lot of damage.
High Ground: Use higher spots to get a clear shot at the Hulk’s weak points.
Use Stratagems: Keep heavy-hitting tools ready for when a Hulk shows up.

Focus on the Hulk’s weak spots, use powerful weapons, and keep your distance to stay safe. Teamwork and smart planning will help you take them down!
