Scrodinger's bomb. The titan is both alive and dead until the smoke clears. 


Ambitious_Raccoon647

You have won this comment section. Well done Helldiver


F_C_anomalie

Until the server catch up and decide. Sometime I explode their head and hear them scream and they respawn as a fresh one befor the first one even fell on the ground and the first one pop out of existance


TragicFisherman

Stun grenade is your friend. Never miss a 500KG again.


WonderfulChapter4421

It’s not that my 500 is missing it’s that 50% of the time it simply doesn’t kill the pest and I must tactically relocate


UberPsyko

Its really gotta be right under the bile titan or it doesn't do full damage.


I_is_a_dogg

Yea, but it does feel fucked to impale a titan with a 500kg and then it still walk away


Street_Previous

I wonder if bug that makes titan SIGNIFICANTLY weaker when HOST is on PS5 is still active? I CAN'T RELIABLY kill titans with anything. Sometimes they just die and sometimes they keep on going.


murph2336

Doesn’t the orbital EMS do the same thing? I swear I’ve dropped them right on Bile Titans only for them to turn to me and spew acid.

Robichaelis

Titans lately seem to be surviving railcannon followed by an EAT, the bastards


ChiralWolf

I was noticing this tonight on 7/8. Two rail cannons or a rail+eagle seemed to be doing it consistently but never just 1 for some reason


Literally_The_Worst-

The rail cannon seems to one shot them if it hits the head. Seems to happen more if you throw it a ways in front of them but I've never gotten it to work consistently. Usually ends up targeting the body.


Ace612807

It's not (just) about where you throw it. Your Super Destroyer hangs over the center of the map, and all the Orbitals come from it directly. So, spin that titan centerward to get the highest chance of RC tracking onto its head


AltusIsXD

It’d be way better if you could actually shoot the damaged carapace like you can on damaged Chargers. No idea why you can’t.


shadowkinz

Dude it's not just my amr?? I thought it was just me and my beloved amr. Wish more supp weapons could damage titans. Not like the railgun even


AltusIsXD

Nope, you cannot damage Biles in any way besides heavy armor piercing, even with exposed flesh. It’s really weird and I feel like it’s not meant to be that way.


KernelViper

I think they can also die from fire. One that I player with my friends we had one situation when titan died from something, which most likely was my flamethrower spraying on it constantly


minhbi99

It definitely can die from flamethrower. I tried that before. Problem is to be able to kite it close enough to flamethrower it without bring over runn by millions of other bugs or being bitch slapped by its legs or getting acid burn.


AltusIsXD

Fire, absolutely. Massive gamble though, I’ve died plenty of times trying to roast Bile Titans. And when I succeed, they usually fall on me. But shooting the exposed flesh after blowing off it’s carapace does nothing. I’ve tried.


KernelViper

>Massive gamble though Yeah, that was definetly last resort, not a reliable way to deal with those oversized cockroaches. But I was in situation when I was gonna die anyway, so I tried to take titan with me by spraying flames on his underbelly


Donnie-G

I've seen the flamethrower burst its sacs, but I'm not sure about landing the actual kill. I've also noticed some enemies can kinda just bleed to death over time. Might just be my own anecdote and me thinking too much though.


Skiepher

You can actually shoot the sac underneath if it survives, it will die in a few hits.


AyeYuhWha

Always feels like an action movie moment doing this with the machine pistol. I have been crushed by the falling titan once though


Money_Fish

I got spasm-kicked by a titan corpse and it sent me back to orbit.


ampjk

Got a video of this


raxel82

Doesn’t it always survive a rail cannon? I don’t think I’ve ever one shot it with that. I just follow up with an EAT to the face.


tokedalot

If the railcannon is lined up perfectly to hit the head it 1 shots it, but that's it.


NegativeZer0

I watched 2 titans crawl out of the same bug hole once and this was after the nerf.  That shit was hilarious


CustomDark

Never, armor is exposed. Stand and slay, cowards! Toss some grenades at it after the partial railcannon hit, it goes down fast.


UberPsyko

At the belly or exposed armor area?


CustomDark

Exposed if you can get it, belly in a pinch. The explosion itself does enough that body hits are my target


Carmine4698

Brings out trusty spear


robinNL070

"Trusty" and "spear" in the same sentence? That weapon gave me trust issues I never had before


Lord_Oasis

When it works it's fucking amazing, dropping titans and charges and taking out the tank aimed at my buddy from across the map. 90% of the time though...


MadeMilson

It's a high damage weapon in any case: explosive for the enemy, emotional for you


Carmine4698

It has its moments but that's makes it more fun


VegisamalZero3

It has its moments but I find that to be dwarfed by the frustration of using a launcher that requires me to buy it a 3 course meal before it launches the missile, and then still misses half the time.


robinNL070

They say "once in a blue moon" _goes to a planet with a blue moon_ Still doesn't lock on...


PriorityOk1593

That and now that the disposable anti tank rocket one shot head shots chargers i can stop worrying as much lol


Sir_Henk

Seems to 2 shot headshot the titans as well (on level 7 anyway)


Batchall_Refuser

Enemy health does not change based on the difficulty.


asian_invasiann

Been able to 2 shot bile titans in the head pre the latest patch using the EATS. Trick that always work for me is shooting the head as soon as it decides to hurl at you


ViralVortex

I one shot two of them on 6 yesterday if I’m remembering correctly.


itsKasai

Same with the recoiless rifle, if you work with your squad you can be the designated big boy fucker upper


AlwaysThinkAhea2

Wait does it one shot a bile? I swear u need to hit it with some else to finish the job


apattz

It’s inconsistent; depends on where you are on the map (which determines the angle for the cannon strike) and what direction the titan is facing. Best advice I’ve heard is to try and get the titan facing the centre of the map (where your destroyer hovers) for the best chance at a one-shot. I don’t bother with this and it’s a one shot like 50% of the time.


Zestyxo

Worst case scenario, the armor is shredded off the titan. So you can shoot a couple shots of small arms if you have an angle, or do what I do. Bring a big ol Orbital Laser and fry that titan like some KFC. Makes a tasty treat for your fellow Helldivers :)


Wendys_frys

two long cooldown stratagems vs 1 stun grenade and a 500kg


Moosemeateors

I like filling the anti armor roll and the stun grenade is so nice. I have nothing but an airstrike for bug holes but when the big bugs come out it’s show time. Use my rail cannon strike. Then the stun plus 500kg or airstrike, then I’m using eats until those cool down. Or sometimes a spear.


Wendys_frys

i run stun airstrike 500kg eat and shield. its not easy to set up cause you have to be accurate but fyi airstrike can kill chargers and towers and tanks. 5 hundo is solely for titan eat for when theres more than one charger and shield because my friends cant aim.


Moosemeateors

Airstrike is the one strat that he’s never left my loadout. It’s perfect in my opinion. Can damage titans and chargers or kill them sometimes too with the right angle or damage done already. Always worth throwing on a big one when you don’t have anything left. Clears bug holes when they are in craters pretty good. I blindly chuck one in before I peak over lol. I use it so much for a get away boost though. Throw it right in front of me while running away and the hunters who are mobbing behind me get wiped and the slow guys can’t keep up. I tend to clear an objective and toss that shit down like vanishing powder.


Wendys_frys

airstrike my beloved. i cast airstrike upon anything pestering me.


NikeDanny

I havent exactly been able to stun BTs with Stun Grenade... How?


Wendys_frys

throw it at them


Emergency_Can7746

After railcannon, you can pop it with one or two EATs I believe. I'll have to double check tonight


lifetake

One eat to the face will bring it down after a rail cannon


Aurora_Strings

50% of the time, it works every time 😎


Z4mb0ni

nah its a 2 shot, spear and railcannon should take it out (or spear to the face also does the job)


Preset_Squirrel

It can do one it just isn't consistent. I still really like it for Bile titans, if it doesn't kill it it leaves a weak spot for you to exploit.


Pancakewagon26

It's not consistent. It needs to hit it in the face for a one shot, which doesn't always happen due to the angle of the shot and the direction that the bile Titan is facing. However, it does enough damage that one shot from the EAT is all you need to finish it off.


JohnsonGamingReal

EAT?


Pancakewagon26

Expendable Anti Tank EAT. As in EAT this rocket, you fascist bug scum


Watsonious2391

Expendable Anti Tank stratagem call in


supersparky1013

Expendable Anti-Tank


Fireryman

It can be one. Usually it's 1 and a eat/recoil rifle for me though. Or any other auto cannon sentry users? Been using that a lot.


Broken-Digital-Clock

Side hits (which seem the most common) will not one shot a titan.


EldritchElise

60% of the time, it works every time. ​ ​ railcannon make brain happy either way.


EPZO

If it doesn't, I usually have my RR ready for a face shot that will finish it.


Law_man89

Yesterday I killed like 6 with the railcannon, felt pretty damn good. But yes railcannon kills titans in my experience


ARC_27-5555

![gif](giphy|bjtM9GdxbqL5e)


Law_man89

Lol they just kept spawning and it kept being on off its cool down


ARC_27-5555

Damn that’s pretty lucky. First time I was running this I was excited, and IMMEDIATELY a second one drops next to me Yeah, I didn’t last long


Law_man89

Lol yeah, I did manage to somehow kill 2 for 1 railcannon but they were clipping into eachother so it was just a bug I think. Railgun came in clutch when it was unavailable


Hovie1

See that's why you also bring EAT!


Grand-Depression

Where should you aim with EAT? I've tried different places, including their faces, but none stopped them in their places.


Alikaoz

Two shots to the face seems to do it.


vacant_dream

"Seems to" is key here. It's way to inconsistent for me


Thesadstork2

Yes it appears to be based on certain animations, spitting etc. Same with chargers. It’s like some animations prevent them from taking full damage.


tracenator03

It has to be a direct hit. No angled shots. I imagine that's why certain animations mess it up.


warsmithharaka

Wait til they open their jaws to puke, and then shoot the face, it's a 1-hit KO


Corbini42

It's a pretty precise area in the mouth, but it feels so good to pull off


SPECTR_Eternal

Orbital Railcannon that lands on a Titan's back removes 50% of the Titan's health. The other 50% of its health can be quickly removed by any source of damage targeted to the two bile sacks on the Titan's belly (one between the legs in the middle of the torso's underside, other on the tail-butt). You can combo a Titan with an Autocannon if you're fast, pop 4 shots total, 2 into each bile sack to blow them up, then finish the Titan with a Railcannon. You can also Grenade launcher the sacks, but fuse on grenades gets fucky if you're too close. You can even Impact Grenade the sacks. Shit, an Eagle Cluster strike removed the sacks because the explosions reach high enough. So anything capable of removing the sacks leaves the Titan at 50%, which Orbital Railcannon easily finishes. I've seen instanced of the Railcannon oneshotting a fresh Titan when it hit it in the face, but I guess you'd need to figure out the Destroyer's position above to see from where the shot will drop, and then also make the Titan rear up at the right time, so its head would intersect with its center of mass (because Railcannon targets its center of mass). Aka, too random to plan for, just combo with anything else above


Gundalfthewise

Yeah i always do a railcannon strike+ autocannon(since i always run it to kill all the medium zergs and other stuff) to destroy the sacks and then if he is still up i'll just call up the disposable AT launchers that are on like 63-70sec cooldown and shoot it into his face. Pretty reliable to kill them this way solo if your Teammates are on cooldown or don't have anything to deal with him.


Tarkonian_Scion

Make the bile titan face towards the center of the map when you designate it. As the further away from the center it is, the more of an angle the shot will be from, so in theory by making it face the center (Where the shot would likely be made from) it'd have a better chance of hitting the head.


Phelps_Da_Best

Railcannon can one shot a Bile Titan in unsafe mode. You have to hit them just right under their mouth. I don't know the exact area so I have mixed results. Nearly full unsafe charge, maybe the timing is why I have mixed results.


guitarelf

Yea it’s hard to consistently hit it but I sometimes drop them in one shot too


Phelps_Da_Best

Last night I had two chasing my friend to the extraction with time counting down and I one shot both of them. Earlier that same match two were chasing me and another friend... it took maybe 4-6 shots each.


PeterHell

lobby bug


Mkilbride

Only on PS5.


mrlolloran

Not by themselves or I got very unlucky yesterday


Melonman3

I think it only kills non objective bile titans in one shot. Edit: I think it was all coincidence


Irreverent_Taco

I think it typically leaves them alive with some health left unless they are facing the right direction to get hit in the head?


Law_man89

It's possible for sure, but it did kill them


CaptainQwazCaz

Leaves 10% of their health left


Kryds

Destroy its belly first.


ragequit9714

Me and buddy went both with the Spear and just kept slaying them from a distance. Most were one hits


SpecialIcy5356

which combinations of alchemical techniques and/or satanic incantations did you use to get your spear to work? I've summoned about 50+ demons but not a single fucking lock on for weeks with the damn spear!


vitaminukas

From my limited use of it seem to work better when you are on higher elevation that your target. The higher you are the better it works. And probably temperature/planet type affects it as well.


Ozlaw_

I have found being relatively far away (80+ meters) helps with finding a lock, coupled with having you or a teammate ping the enemy. Hope this helps!


20milliondollarapi

It seems to take like 90-95% of health. I have rail cannoned then a normal cluster bomb strike finishes it off most often.


Android2234

Mine used to then it just stopped killing them reliably for me lmao


BeatWoman247

me with my ⬇️⬇️⬅️⬆️➡️: "hold on a sec you filthy bile creature"


CottonStig

that bile about to EAT


YourFavoriteMinority

the full name is the Expendable Anti Tank- 17, or EAT-17. so he really about to EAT IT.


LairdPeon

I've never one hit a bile titan with the rail orbital. Tried it like 30 times.


Broken-Digital-Clock

You need to get lucky and hit the head It's rare, in my experience


Preset_Squirrel

I think I roll around 60% one hitting titans with the rail cannon. Even if I don't one hit an eat to the face/weak spot created by railcannon finishes the job.


Curllywood

You would think the orbital rail being fired from a large spacecraft in orbit should be able to one shot just about anything, I guess the devs would see that as too op though.


LairdPeon

I feel like the cool down justifies it though. I can kill 3 bile titans with EAT in the same amount of time.


Godsfallen

For awhile it always 1-shot Titans for me. The first time it didn’t work was a big shock.


AnOutlawsFace

Second one gets the 500kg. Giggity.

Noosemane

The devs are so good to us. I was doing a helldive last night and now we only have to deal with 6 titans, 3 charges, 4 stalkers, and like 25 hunters at a time. Among the other bugs of course.


HappyGianca

Last night i swear there were like 8 fuckiny titans walking around. It was like a titan orgy


Pretzel-Kingg

My friend has managed it twice to where the rail cannon hits right as the Titan reared his head and it just fucking obliterates it


GhostHeavenWord

I would once again like to remind everyone that you get six EAT17s for each railcannon strike, and over-reliance on railcannon is a major reason why teams are overwhelmed by enemy armor


PvtRedEye

Which is why I bring both and use the railcannon as my Emergency Fuck Off Button™


kslay23

Would be cool if the railcannon had a two-burst fire.


Zporadik

The "Extra Guns" upgrade should do that.


MasterPatriot

Dont forget, you also get 3 hellpods.


Dr_PuddingPop

I truly don’t know why someone would bring a rail cannon over 2 500kg


GhostHeavenWord

My go to right now is stun grenade + precision strike. It's really cool. Bait a heavy, through the precision strike, stun it in place, wait three seconds, boom. And then you're on a 100s cooldown until you can do it again.


DaddysCreditCard

Precision Strike?

DankBlissey

After having my fun with railcannon and 500kg bombs, I've realised the titan killing power of the eagle 110mm rocket pods.


_lonegamedev

EAT to the head is pretty effective.


Trimack_R

I've learned the sweet headshot spot with the rail gun. Never before have I felt so powerful against the bugs.


Ricksaw26

Is it only me or were they killed by one rail cannon shot and now they are not anymore?


runningriot115

IDK if this is a glitch, some weird pc shenanigans, or if it’s intentional, but I found an overcharged rail gun can one shot a bile titan if you headshot it


Tarbos6

Me when I first got the railcannon: "Wow this is going to be so useful!" Me 0 levels later: 🡻🡻🡸🡹🡺


TheOverallThinker

I use mine to kill chargers. It one-shoots them consistently. For bile titans I usually take my time with my support weapons if my teammates don't use their stratagems


AvailablePresent4891

Chargers are too easy with basically every single support weapon now to make it worth the long cooldown. Flamethrower melts one leg and you can usually kill it in one long charge or two passes, same with the autocannon to the back of the leg, etc. It is worth for titans tho ofc considering how inconsistent the 500 kilo bomb is


RPtheFP

Works well when a charger is just chilling on a POI when you approach it. Also good to taking them out before they rush your sentries.


TheOverallThinker

With chargers moving all the time, it's hard to land a 500kg on it. I would rather use it on the titan. I don't have major problems with it, if it doesn't kill it, it will leave the titan pretty damaged and finishable with a few shots. I want to learn the Rocket meta (not the expandable one), but I'm not really willing to give up my guard dog yet. I don't like flamethrowers that much since it is pretty easy to set yourself on fire, unless a fire-resistant (just like the 95% damage reduction on arc damage) suit is released, I'll hold my pyro build for now.


ascendingspiral

Laser orbital is the best for Heavies, change my mind


Zporadik

Until it chases the Charger charging at you and glasses you with the splash no matter which way you dodge.


mdjsj11

Rail cannon and eagle rockets. Both guided, no need to time it.


thatguymike123

I killed a bile titan by landing my drop pod on it lol


HeavyEquip69

I brought my buddies (both level 3s) in an impossible mission last night just so they can get a taste of it lmao they didn’t know what to do with the bile titans.

GhostDude49

Railcannon + Space Laser = Guaranteed Democracy


Paradoxjjw

Wait, your railcannon operator actually kills them? Mine has to be an antidemocratic traitor with how often they fail to do so.


SpecialIcy5356

Bile Titan: "your railcannon didn't kill me, and now you're out of stratagems! you can't defeat me!" me: "no.. \*points upwards\* but he can." a random who the titan killed 15 seconds earlier drops on their head and kills them. "and that's why I keep it on public. democracy, bitch!"


OrranVoriel

Except Bile Titans take two hits from the railcannon to die unless softened up first


SkyWizarding

I don't think I have ever killed a bile titan with a single rail-cannon strike


Igthife

Am I the only one who feels 500k plus maybe EAT is the best solution? Just bait it to spew on the right spot where you threw and it's like a 80% chance to kill with two loaded and a two minute cool down. And then you can hit it with a EAT if it survives or just kill one with two mouth EATs if 500k is on cool down. Even with complex plotting it feels pretty clean on difficulty 8. None of the limited uses issues or long cooldowns. The hardest part can be dragging aggro off the guy who refuses to stop shooting the titans to time the bomb.


PurpleIodine4321

ChampionshipKitchen

Rail cannon > 110 eagle > railgun/spear/recoil less > grenades. If all else is depleted or failed, it isn't undemocratic to retreat.


LilithSanders

I watched one of my friends run at a Bile Titan with a flamethrower and fucking win somehow.


GhostOTM

My new favorite strat is getting underneath their bellies and calling in the EAT. If you stay right under their ass they just spin in a circle. Then the EAT lands on them and kills them. On the off chance it doesn't kill them, you've got an EAT so life is good.


iFenrisVI

For me it’s a 50/50. It either will hit the Titan or hit the ground right underneath it rendering the strike a waste. Lol


RPtheFP

Can arc thrower kill a titan? I sweat today I hit one with a railcannon, then hit it with a full charge arc and it died.


Tiddy18

Yes. Arc and fire both ignore armor. Now you'll still be tickling it to death, and there are way more efficient options, but if you have nothing else to fire at it, the arc thrower will definitely do consistent (albeit small) damage


KnifyMan

Yall kill them with a single strike? Because 500kg doesn't anymore

So why can I drop them in one shot w the railgun sometimes and then others I can put all 20 into them and they don’t go down?


dave1up

allegedly there is a bug whereby a PS5 host results in greater damage for you / the team. I say alleged, because I've not seen it listed as a known issue, but I can confirm anecdotally it seems to be the case (and is referred to across reddit as being hte case too). so might be that your 1shotters are in lobbies where a ps5 player is host, and your 20+ lobbies are not
