Beefing up the Terminid faction\u2019s ranks in Helldivers 2<\/strong>\u2019s Escalation of Freedom update is the Spore Charger \u2013 a unique take on the normal Charger that creates a vision-blocking fog in its immediate vicinity. Those unaware of the creature\u2019s presence can easily find themselves getting charged from out of nowhere, but thankfully, this version of the Charger is much easier to take out than it initially seems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be on the lookout for green fog and glowing green spores <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fastest way to spot a Spore Charger isn\u2019t from its in-game model, but rather from the vision-obscuring green fog that it emanates. Much like the yellow fog that comes from Spore Spewers, the Spore Charger\u2019s green fog makes it difficult to navigate the terrain, and more importantly, find the giant armored Terminid that will inevitably be charging at you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, locating the Spore Charger in the fog is made somewhat easier thanks to the glowing spores located underneath its armored shell. These spores can also be shot at with conventional weaponry, though it will take some time to whittle down the Spore Charger\u2019s large health pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Helldivers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anti-tank weapons and stratagems are still the best ways to defeat this Charger <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of wasting your regular weapons\u2019 precious ammunition, the best way to take out a Spore Charger is to treat it like a regular Charger. Anti-tank weapons and stratagems like the EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank, Orbital Precision Strike, and MLS-4X Commando can defeat a Spore Charger quickly; thereby dissipating the green fog it emanates. Be aware that killing a Spore Charger with explosive ordinance causes it to release acid that damages and slows Helldivers caught in the blast. Be sure that you and your teammates are nowhere near a Spore Charger\u2019s acid blast as it can quickly snowball into unplanned ambushes and deaths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it may seem intimidating at first, the Spore Charger is easier to deal with once you get a bead on its location. Its health isn\u2019t as high as that of a Behemoth Charger and its spore-filled underbelly can be shot even without anti-tank weapons or stratagems. It can still pose a threat in a crowd of enemies, so be sure to take out the Spore Charger to get a lay of the battlefield as soon as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
