When discussing powerful beasts in Helldivers 2, there is no doubt that Bile Titans would be the first to come to mind. This menacing Terminid is considered the largest and strongest tank enemy in the game. And there is a reason to do so. They are extremely hard to kill, especially if you are a newcomer.
Killing Bile Titans in Helldivers 2 can be a nuisance as they are very agile, even for their colossal size. They also have powerful attacks that can inflict substantial damage. Newbie or not, there are some ways you could take down such foul beasts. And kill them, you have to, as there are Personal Orders and special missions where you will stumble upon Bile Titans.
More on Bile Titans
Bile Titans are essentially large versions of Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2. This huge bug-like creature is usually brown in color with a green-colored sac on its underbelly. They are quite rare to come by. But once you do, it can take you out in seconds if you are not careful enough.
They have both ranged and melee attacks. If you are close by, you can literally get stomped by its enormous feet. As for its ranged attack, it shoots corrosive bile as projectiles from its mouth, which can cause severe damage. What makes it so difficult to defeat them is their agility. Despite being so large, they can move surprisingly fast.
Where to find the Terminid Titans in Helldivers 2
As of now, Bile Titans can be located in the Eastern parts of the galaxy in Helldivers 2, especially in the red zones. They pop up at times on the Terminid-inhabited planets. So finding one will take a few. But before jumping into the map, you have to make sure you have the right difficulty. These colossal Titans start spawning from the Challenging difficulty. The further you increase your difficulty, the more you will stumble upon these Terminids.
You can also find these beasts by looking for special missions that have “Eliminate the Bile Titans” in their objectives.
How to kill Bile Titans
Helldivers 2 Bile Titans have a tough exoskeleton and are heavily armored. For this reason, weapons with only high armor-piercing can have any effect on them. So it’s evident that it takes a lot to kill a Bile Titan. Fortunately, the Terminids do have two weak points that Helldivers can leverage. The mouth and the bile-filled belly are its weakest spots and take the most damage. So whenever you encounter one, remember to aim for these spots.
Now, if you are someone who is below level 20, you will have to go through a lot to defeat a Titan. The best you can do is strategically use offensive Stratagems. For instance, you could use Orbital strikes or Eagle bombs directly on a beast. As for the players above level 20, the tasks get so much easier. All you need is a Railgun in your inventory, and you can kill a Bile Titan with just a few shots. Aim for the mouth, keep firing until it collapses, and collect your reward.

You could also use other explosive weapons and stratagems, which can inflict high damage on impact:
- Autocannon
- Orbital Laser
- Eagle 500KG Bomb
- Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods
- Orbital Railcannon Strike
- Expendable Anti-Tank
- Laser Cannon
- Rocket Sentry
- Recoilless Rifle
Keep in mind that Explosive weapons have low accuracy and miss targets easily. So keep a distance or find a place for cover before you decide to bring down an Orbital strike.
