Helldivers 2 Player Reveals Clever Strategy to Kill One of the Game’s Tougher Enemies

A new and unusual Helldivers 2 combat trick has emerged to help the soldiers of Super Earth players deal with the ferocious Bile Titan enemy in-game. The tactic requires bravery and a bit of luck on the part of the Helldivers 2 player attempting it, so a demonstration of the move delighted the game's community.
With Helldivers 2 racking up blockbuster sales numbers, and its player base continually outpacing its server capacity, it's no surprise that its scene for new strategies and tricks is equally active. Player communities on Reddit, social media, and private forums and chat servers alike are buzzing with players trading tips, discussing strategies, and coordinating runs, all in the name of advancing the cause of the satirical «Managed Democracy.»
The new Bile Titan strategy was demonstrated by player Kalypso1995 on the Helldivers subreddit. In a posted video, Kalypso1995 shared a trick that they said was effective, even if it looked «stupid.» The trick involved employing the Helldivers' Hellpod drop system to do the hard work of killing Bile Titan. Bile Titans are the largest Terminid enemies in Helldivers 2, and pose a dangerous challenge to even a fully equipped Helldiver squad.
In the video, Kalypso1995 runs from a Bile Titan while preparing one of the many Helldivers 2 Stratagem beacons. They throw the Stratagem beacon high into the air, giving the object a near-vertical trajectory as they run underneath it. Then, the beacon falls onto Kalypso1995's equipped Shield Generator backpack, sticking to the shield «bubble» and hovering near their shoulder. With seconds left on the deployment clock, Kalypso1995 runs under the Bile Titan's legs, Shield backpack with its attached beacon, and runs clear. The incoming Hellpod pierces straight through the Bile Titan, killing it instantly.
Members of the community praised Kalypso1995's trick, with some calling it a sign of «High IQ» and «Giga-brain.» While the use of Hellpods as weapons is an unspoken rule of Helldivers 2 combat, Kalypso1995's twist involved «catching» the beacon and placing it under the Titan. Others did point out that such a trick does require a good bit of luck, as the player runs straight into the thick of an enemy pack to put down their payload. Similarly, being too late dropping the pack and getting away will result in the player being killed by the drop pod itself. Thus, they remarked, a safer, more reliable version of Kalypso1995's tactic would involve simply trying to stick or throw the Stratagem beacon close to the Bile Titan. Such a move would thus not require running to «catch» the beacon, leaving players free to deal with the escorts without risking themselves as much.
Regardless of the strategy's practicality, the emergence of
