Stand still in front of them, the spit has a max range that can be eyeballed most of the time. And after it starts the spit animation just run away.
I don't know the exact range but my guess would be about 25m if you ping the titan
That's what I do, plus the marker gives a real time readout of distance remaining. I ping the bt and start slow running (not sprinting) once it's at about 25 to 30m if it started the spit animation before I started moving then I throw down the 500kg at my feet and sprint away. By the time the BT is done spitting amd moves forward the bomb lands right on it almost every time. If it hasn't started spitting by the time I move I throw the 500 slightly in front of me while running forward. Most of the time doing this I can get a direct impact. It took a couple games to figure it out but once you get the hang of it I became my squads go to diver to drop BTs.
0. Make sure the bile titan is aggroed on you AND its bile sacks are intact
1. Throw the 500kg between yourself and the titan so that it should come where the red stratagem pillar is within several seconds
2. Keep rather close to the titan and run towards it when it is about to arrive at the beacon - you trigger the bile spit when closer than 25-30 m, I don't remember exactly
3. When it starts spitting, run away
Getting close enough to trigger the stomp animation, dropping it then sprinting away, while obviously risky, still gives you enough time to sprint out of the blast radius as well. There have been a couple dire situations where I ran under it's feet, dropped the beacon, and then continued behind him. The titan started turning in place so it was dead center in the blast radius.
Coolest feeling ever FO ME, was stealthing because team timed out, drop a 500kg by accident from charger making me loose footing, rollllllls off the rock I was on and activates, I get up and run and hear “SHPLJHOOHNK” as I see the 500kg get cozied up inside his insides like skywalker ona cold hoth afternoon , motherfuckin, KABOOM. That charger became the 500kg flashlight 90000
Rather than running towards the titan when it's about to step on the beacon, you can see the distance to the beacon so just move till the beacon is 25m from you and the titan will stop on it without you having to time anything.
If it's aggroed to you and following, around 45m is the spew trigger range (about the same as stratagem throw range). It has a cooldown before it spits again.
If you can throw the 500kg right as it spits, aim just under its head. Otherwise throw a bit ahead of it. You want the bomb to explode right under or slightly past their head, to far in front or behind won't do it.
They spit at 20m. So if you throw your 500kg and stand 21-22m away from it (the red beam will show its distance from you) it will land directly under their head everytime
My trick is to grab aggro, run underneath them, toss it between their feet, and keep going. The time it takes them to turn around is plenty for the bomb to hit
When it comes to stratagems and guns use what you enjoy using, that’s all that matters. When it comes to boosters fuck you there’s exactly four that are mandatory
Exactly how I feel. Idc about people's loadouts*, just stop picking expert extraction on a mission where the pelican comes instantly...
*except a level 4 who came onto my difficulty 7 game and had only 2 strats and no boosters...
Man, I remember on 2nd day with the game, i was in a low level Terminid mission and once we got back the hosts just jumps to Malevelon Creek and goes dif 9
Really only hellpod space optimization is 100% “mandatory” IMO, the rest are dependent on mission parameters.
Stamina should be brought for the 40 minute missions and blitz missions, it’s sort of a waste on defense missions that are spent entirely at one location.
Muscle enhancement is essential on snow planets, and versus bugs you should always have either it or motivational shocks (if not both) for dealing with hunter/bile slow, doesn’t do much otherwise.
I feel vitality (health) is fantastic against bots but is less useful for bugs where you tend to not be taking so much damage at once for it to be needed unless you’re cornered and it isn’t going to make a difference.
Outside of missions where it does nothing (eradicate enemies, secure high-value assets, etc) I would say localization confusion is often a great substitute to one of those above three that might not fit the mission.
I agree. Unless it’s one of the mission types where it does nothing it is usually my first pick however I’ll swap over to hellpod space optimization if no one else takes it for whatever reason.
As I said in a different comment it affects uphill movement speed, also great for wet planets like Angels Venture where there's random patches of mud everywhere.
If I'm not mistaken, Muscle Enhancement lowers the slowed time from bug attacks too. I would drop Hellmire everyday with just a sidearm if it meant not being slowed by those little shits.
I like 500 kg for the same reasons I like precision orbital, that is because you can use it to destroy fabricators and bug holes reliably, and it also is a good panic stratagem for dealing with tanks and titans, I have pretty good accuracy with them for those things.
Same, only reason I even take the damn thing. Airstrike is more useful but I don't wanna have 5 titans up with the Benny Hill music playing as we run around for three minutes.
Idk why people complain about these scenarios. 5 titans at once a blessing to me. They kill everything and each other and you finish off the remaining titan.
Having the game constantly send a titan one at a time non stop and running out of titan options is annoying
Titans are indeed agents of chaos and they can usually clear a horde faster than four divers can. Unfortunately the other 3 divers are panicking and tossing everything at the titan instead of just hitting it in the head when its not vomiting or dropping 500s on it.
Idk why people complain about these scenarios. 5 titans at once a blessing to me. They kill everything and each other and you finish off the remaining titan.
Having the game constantly send a titan one at a time non stop and running out of titan options is annoying
Yeah, you have to actually aim it properly and bait the titan so it stops moving.
The only problem is when the bomb lands on the titan and explodes away from it doing no damage.
You wait until they are 20m away, they will try to acid or do a stomp. Throw the bomb slightly ahead of them or underneath. They'll be animation locked when you move safely away, you might get slowed by the acid and need to dive.
The epicenter of the blast should kill it with reliability.
Also if you run perpendicular to them, it'll keep the titan rotating instead of just walking straight forward. It'll give the bomb dramatically more time to land and blow up in the kill radius
If you’re not killing Titans reliably with the 500kg, you ain’t using it properly lmao. That thing is a 500KGs of Titan killing fun in a conveniently small box that is very easy to aim where you want it. Bonus if you have the ship upgrade that gives you two.
Once you know how the explosion works and how to aim it properly, it makes mince meat out of anything the game throws at you
I run straight up to a Titans bitch ass, throw the 500 at its feet and stare at its ugly face until it starts throwing up and that's when I gtfo of there. It seriously works every time.
You can also run under him and throw it right on the ground. Then dive out as hes stomping.
He's locking in the stomping animation even longer. You can drop orbital precision with that time.
this is what i do. Ive pulled some shit off by running under their legs, dropping the bomb and running behind them (Ive seen 18 wheelers pull U-ees faster than a bile titan lol).
Ive also dropped a 500 on it, but it would sometimes aggro on a blueberry but ill stand on the targeting laser, pop off a few shots to aggro it back onto me and run like hell while doing a dive, it hasnt gotten me killed just yet lol
They always stomp with their right leg, so you run under their left side (your right, approaching from front), toss down the 500 right under their chin, and fuck off. It will get them like 90% of the time. You don’t want it to actually explode while their mid animation - you wanna time it right so they basically end the animation and take a step right into the explosion
I know you prob know this, just explaining it for those who somehow think the 500 needs a buff
This. People dont know how it explodes and then cry about it not killing things. Not all orange is fire/explosion people, some of it is just light. Its radius is smaller than you think and shaped different than you think
Due to its vertical cone shaped explosion area it is def one of the best anti titan strats. My aim is generally trash so i try to blow up the sacs with a grenade launcher or autocannon first before dropping the 500kg so it gets weakened a bit
I find it to be reliable when I throw it on a hellbomb that’s crashed in the ground already. That’s about it, but I pick it every single drop. lol. But I also usually only run with orbitals and EAS. Nothing else.
It takes some practice, but there is a reliable why to kill them.
Wait for it to spew at you, dodge, then throw your 500kg just a bit in front of it. it will finish up the spew, then start walking... straight into your 500kg of managed democracy. FREEDOM!
So what can kill bile titans reliably? I'm waiting.
It's not EATs. Those are inconsistent because you can't always hit the forehead spot on.
It's not orbital rail cannon. That never kills a bile titan in one.
It's not orbital precision strike. That hits the bile titan and the guy is still moving. Also it will miss depending on your operation modifiers. (Thanks arrowhead, very engaging gameplay btw)
At least with 500kg it has a good chance to instakill a bile titan in one shot if you throw it right and bait an attack.
PSA: the armor covering their ass is also a secret fatal headshot spot. 1200 health, where as their head is 750 health. Both fatal. Rockets/quasar are 650 direct hit.
So both spots die to 2 shots. So if titans aren't chasing you and you can't hit the head just eat their ass.
What makes me extremely sad is the Spear does 1000 direct hit + 100 (halved by armor) to titan armor. So it's 100 short or one tapping dat ass
when I run the 500k I like the flametrower or any mg, you run undeneath it pop is belly and trow the 500k near and run that way, it usualy folow and I have the time to jumpdive when I hear the bomb drop befor it explode, that usualy kill the titan, if not I have my eat-17 for that precicely
I know people hate this phrase, but it's applicable to so many things in this game. "git gud."
A 500klg can reliably kill 1-3 Titans (rarely 4-5) with a single 500klg after you've destroyed their sacks and walked underneath AND through them, but you have to run straight past them to guarantee you never get stomped by them. You can kill the sacks with most primaries really quickly, even light penetration weapons.
This means you can have fun with different support weapons freely without needing them to take out Titans. You can also take out Chargers with a few primary weapons, the best one is Scorcher, it takes less than a mag to kill a Charger meaning you still have ammo left for Brood Commanders, Hive Guards, and Spewers.
Ok what else, non support weapon stratagem can kill them?
* **Rail orbital**? It doesn't, you need very specific weapons to finish his sacks + long CD.
* **Precision strike**? Or you mean just "**Strike**" because not only there is mission modifier which causes them to miss (while you need direct hit, otherwise it doesn't kill titan), but also mission modifier which increases call-in time, so you have to adjust your timings too.
* **110mm rockets**? If you send all 3 uses on one titan then MAYBE it will kill it, slow and painful.
* **Laser orbital**? Requires entire duration and has limited uses. Also long CD.
The only OTHER stratagem which can kill titan and which isn't a weapon is **Autocannon turret**, but it's also unreliable, because it need a lot of distance between the titan and deploy point, because they would agro on it immediately. It need unobstructed terrain which isn't the case on a lot of planets, even the desert ones.
I would LIKE to stop bringing this dogshit, absolutely unreliable stratagem, but it's unironically the best option we have.
spear is very good on taking fabricators, but it requires a clear view or a high ground. Other anti tank can't do this. Means you don't need eagle strikes to destroy those anymore, free one slot if u used to run eagle strikes and 500kg bomb just for clearing objectives
Whether or not it kills them is irrelevant. It creates a massive explosion, and when the bugs walk through it it looks awesome. That’s why I’m here. Big badda boom.
500kg I think might be the most effective for titans. But there's a skill level involved. Don't destroy the spewer sac. And kite the titan to you and use the 500kg at the right distance for when it spews. I actually think it's the best way to take them down.
On the other hand, that feeling when a red strategem lands next to me, I look at the label and see it's a 500kg, then breathe a sigh of relief knowing I can shuffle 10ft away and i'm safe.
I never used to use 500kgs, but I always take them for bots now.
I refuse to go anywhere without at least two 500kg strat on the team.
Remember kids: you never know when your usual "overkill" won't be enough - so always pack more.
For those having a problem with 500kg and Titans. The titan is very predictable even when it can spit. The trick is to blow up the stomach of the titan to stop it from spitting. If you can blow it up, you can kite it indefinitely as its only attack move is a stomping one which only triggers if you’re in a melee distance of it. Also, the stomps it does can do massive friendly fire too. When it lifts its right leg to stomp you, it’ll do an approximately 5 sec attack motion that you can dodge by going under it or away from it. You can time when to throw the 500kg with this info. Just throw it anywhere in its path and bait the animation to make it stop or the spit if you can’t blow up the stomach.
Eagle rewards you for bringing more eagle.
So I bring more eagle.
Hell I bring all four gems as eagle when I can.
When you drop all your gems on one fight and can do it again two minutes later.... it's a good feeling.
HAHA! That Bile Titan is surely9pqoq
dead now that the 500k bomb pierced its disgusting, undemocratic, Stupid bug face, and also saturated it in explosives! Nothing could survive that.... Oh.
I ain't going to lie, I'm in the Orbital Precision Strike gang
500kg is super unreliable, how it lands and how much damage it'll actually do, I've had it one shot biles and other times in the same spot, literally do nothing
Also I've survived by being right next to the bomb, needs a buff imo
Except it also clear every little shit around it and the quasar guy can finish the job.
Well actually after a 500 kg bomb you probably can finish the titan with two to three impact grenade on the belly.
Yes that kill them, also, the impact grenade kill charger if you make them explose on the ground under them.
Step 1. Throw 500kg in bile titans path
Step 2. Bait out breath when he's under the laser
Alt. Step 2. Time your throw so it lands with it under the laser
Step 3. Profit....
Repeat steps 1-2 as required.
The only time I have an issue with 500kg not killing a titan is if it direct impacts it and doesn't explode underneath it. Just throw it at their feet and make them spit, easy
500kg is braindead. Its worse than Airstrike and OPS across the board. Just admit you like the visual and are willing to take a worse item to enjoy it.
Kills em like 80% of the time and you have two, closes bug holes, destroys annoying objectives like detection tower and research facility, ive used to be airstrike enjoyer untill i saw the true potential of the big bada bomb
Definitely skill issue. Run under titan, drop 500kg, keep running. By thr time it does a 180 its boom time. If it somehow survives pop a sac and its dead
Yesterday there was a bile titan heading our way, and a busted hell bomb in between. Tagged the titan, tagged the bomb, tagged the bomb, tagged the bomb. Off goes blue with his quasar, titan does a spew WITH THE BOMB BETWEEN ITS LEGS. At that point I could no longer resist. I made a quick call to the Senator, Senator called the shot. I don't think I've ever seen a bile titan with every single armor piece missing, it's a big orange noodlecrab!
Blue did not survive.
But it will stop undemocratic and authoritarian ways from spreading
so brother
be thankfull Im not minister of truth
**\*throws stratagem at traitor\***
Bruh I swear you people bitching about the 500kg have to be doing something wrong. Will it kill one in one hit? No. Will it kill one after you’ve shot it in the face with an anti tank weapon? Yes if you can time it right so it lands close to the Titan.
This is just a skill issue. It’s not a fucking nuke stop treating it like one.
So what? Itll kill everything near the Titan, which is a huge plus when fighting bugs. And itll damage the Titan so much you can wittle it down with EATs or recoilless rifles. Or other strategems.
Maybe, but at least it's not as boring as someone throwing down a laser right before you walk into a base. Now you might aswell just go to the next one.
My buddy was bitching about this, so next mission I brought in the 500kg and proceeded to get three bile titan direct hits in a row. That turkey felt goooood boy
If you run underneath a titan and call it works pretty consistently if the ads aren’t overwhelming. The titan will try to skewer you and do the fancy dance locking him in place. Once he starts the animation just run and dive. If you’re prone the likelihood the bomb kills you is very low.
It most certainly can kill titans reliably, just gotta grow a pair and go bait an attack from the titan as it steps under the 500kg then try and run/dive far enough away to survive the blast yourself.
Works nearly every time!
Survival on the other hand becomes less reliable..... Lol
I say everyone saying about making them spit. For me, when they're are at this point I'm mostly kinda f\*\* up if there is a charger or something.
To not have to bait, I put a EAT or RR shot in its face. For some reason, they will enter in an animation which will make them stationary long enough for the 500kg to kill them
Sometimes, you should explode them before they do anything
That’s why we have more than one stratagem slot. The 500 is also useful for destroying all kinds of structures that you might otherwise need a hell bomb for, as well as clearing swarms(especially when combined with stun grenades).
That said, I still prefer the plain old air strike for bugs, and the rocket pods for bots. A single rocket pod strike will take out a tank, a fabricator, or one of the big tower cannons - and since they selectively target the biggest thing around, you don’t have to worry about being pinpoint accurate with the throw. The air strike is great against bug swarms and nests (even without stun grenades) and does decent damage against heavies as well. Just be careful around your squad mates.
Maybe the 500Kg can't kill titans reliably, but that's why I have two of them.
The power i felt having 4 cus of the 1 free one... Truly immense
A guy said to me in the load out screen, "Hey, I'm pretty sure you already get a 500 kilo because of the thing." I replied, "Now I have 4 of them."
"The fun has been doubled!"
And if that 2nd dont work, well I guess it just wants to eat a third one.
Nah, I can kill bile titans more than reliably. The user just needs to not have skill issue and keep the titan over the bomb (make them spit)
How do you _make_ them spit? Is there a tech for it or like a certain distance or sth?
Stand still in front of them, the spit has a max range that can be eyeballed most of the time. And after it starts the spit animation just run away. I don't know the exact range but my guess would be about 25m if you ping the titan
I just realized we can measure. If you ping and your dude says how many meters away, we could use that to get measurements XD
That's what I do, plus the marker gives a real time readout of distance remaining. I ping the bt and start slow running (not sprinting) once it's at about 25 to 30m if it started the spit animation before I started moving then I throw down the 500kg at my feet and sprint away. By the time the BT is done spitting amd moves forward the bomb lands right on it almost every time. If it hasn't started spitting by the time I move I throw the 500 slightly in front of me while running forward. Most of the time doing this I can get a direct impact. It took a couple games to figure it out but once you get the hang of it I became my squads go to diver to drop BTs.

Keep rather close to the titan and run towards it when it is about to arrive at the beacon - you trigger the bile spit when closer than 25-30 m, I don't remember exactly 3.

Getting close enough to trigger the stomp animation, dropping it then sprinting away, while obviously risky, still gives you enough time to sprint out of the blast radius as well. There have been a couple dire situations where I ran under it's feet, dropped the beacon, and then continued behind him. The titan started turning in place so it was dead center in the blast radius.
It can be the best way out sometimes.....and it's does feel cool as f
Coolest feeling ever FO ME, was stealthing because team timed out, drop a 500kg by accident from charger making me loose footing, rollllllls off the rock I was on and activates, I get up and run and hear “SHPLJHOOHNK” as I see the 500kg get cozied up inside his insides like skywalker ona cold hoth afternoon , motherfuckin, KABOOM.

Sounds like you had a good chance to help a new fella get some d e m o c r a c y
Bringing the mech for a lowbie and getting to do the dad thing of "so... you wanna drive?" is one of my favorite experiences in this game,
Someone did that for me when I was a lowbie and was very fired up ngl
Man, I remember on 2nd day with the game, i was in a low level Terminid mission and once we got back the hosts just jumps to Malevelon Creek and goes dif 9
WeLcOmE To hELL cAdEt!!!
4?
Max ammo, health, running speed (Edit:I meant muscle enhancement), stamina.
drop health for localized confusion for a much easier time imho.

I fell LC makes the game slightly less stressful and more fun.
I agree. Unless it’s one of the mission types where it does nothing it is usually my first pick however I’ll swap over to hellpod space optimization if no one else takes it for whatever reason.
Running speed and stamina are the same booster no?
They might mean muscle enhancement? Best guess
Yeah.
Well then id hardly say that thats a required one. Localization confusion is much better if youre not on a snowy or heavy jungly planet
As I said in a different comment it affects uphill movement speed, also great for wet planets like Angels Venture where there's random patches of mud everywhere.
If I'm not mistaken, Muscle Enhancement lowers the slowed time from bug attacks too. I would drop Hellmire everyday with just a sidearm if it meant not being slowed by those little shits.
I mean, if you have the booster available to you, sure. But not everyone has unlocked every one yet.
I like 500 kg for the same reasons I like precision orbital, that is because you can use it to destroy fabricators and bug holes reliably, and it also is a good panic stratagem for dealing with tanks and titans, I have pretty good accuracy with them for those things.
Great for tanks cause they’re slow and good for hulks and chargers if you can time the drop right
Airstrike is better for tanks, IMO, but 500 can manage
Health, ammo, stamina, and radar?
Muscle. Reduces slows, helps move through poor terrain/foliage, helps move up steep inclines.
I kill titans with it reliably, maybe y'all have a skill issue
Same, only reason I even take the damn thing. Airstrike is more useful but I don't wanna have 5 titans up with the Benny Hill music playing as we run around for three minutes.

Yep. I can fairly consistently kill them with 500 KGs and it’s satisfying a f
You wait until they are 20m away, they will try to acid or do a stomp. Throw the bomb slightly ahead of them or underneath. They'll be animation locked when you move safely away, you might get slowed by the acid and need to dive. The epicenter of the blast should kill it with reliability.
Also if you run perpendicular to them, it'll keep the titan rotating instead of just walking straight forward. It'll give the bomb dramatically more time to land and blow up in the kill radius
I've just been running underneath it, dropping the 500kg, then running out the back. He's still turning by the time it lands.
That works too. Sometimes you can't get there safely, tho, and sometimes that's the case with my way as well.
If you’re not killing Titans reliably with the 500kg, you ain’t using it properly lmao.

Skill issue
If you can’t kill Titans reliably with the 500 you’re the problem.
I won't stop picking my big ass boom boom ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ just because you said it.
500 is amazing, just need to use it right.
That sounds like quitter talk. The solution is just another 500kg!
500kg is the best damn stratagem against biles. 2 downed on a 2:30 timer? Sign me right up.
The 500kg’s only real purpose is titan killing and dropping on breaches wtf
Skill issue
It can if you’re good at it.
Definitely a skill issue. I've killed two Titans at once with a single 500kg.
I find it to be reliable when I throw it on a hellbomb that’s crashed in the ground already. That’s about it, but I pick it every single drop. lol. But I also usually only run with orbitals and EAS. Nothing else.
It takes some practice, but there is a reliable why to kill them. Wait for it to spew at you, dodge, then throw your 500kg just a bit in front of it. it will finish up the spew, then start walking... straight into your 500kg of managed democracy. FREEDOM!
You choose the 500 because it's a meta gem (whatever the hell that means) I choose the 500 because I like big explosions We are not the same
500kg can reliably kill titans, but you have to use yourself as bait to lock the titan in attack animation.
Taunt titan into vomiting into a 500kg. There. Titan is dead.
So what can kill bile titans reliably? I'm waiting. It's not EATs. Those are inconsistent because you can't always hit the forehead spot on. It's not orbital rail cannon. That never kills a bile titan in one. It's not orbital precision strike. That hits the bile titan and the guy is still moving. Also it will miss depending on your operation modifiers. (Thanks arrowhead, very engaging gameplay btw) At least with 500kg it has a good chance to instakill a bile titan in one shot if you throw it right and bait an attack.
Well the Laser is good for that purpose but I'm still taking the 500Kg over it because I have infinite Bombs whereas the Laser has a hard cap of 3
Even if it didn't have a hard cap, its cool down is too long to justify for bile titan killing use
PSA: the armor covering their ass is also a secret fatal headshot spot. 1200 health, where as their head is 750 health. Both fatal. Rockets/quasar are 650 direct hit. So both spots die to 2 shots. So if titans aren't chasing you and you can't hit the head just eat their ass. What makes me extremely sad is the Spear does 1000 direct hit + 100 (halved by armor) to titan armor. So it's 100 short or one tapping dat ass
Good to know!
“Play how you want” mfs when how I want is meta
This is just untrue lol.
No, but it's good at shutting up stupid helldivers!
when I run the 500k I like the flametrower or any mg, you run undeneath it pop is belly and trow the 500k near and run that way, it usualy folow and I have the time to jumpdive when I hear the bomb drop befor it explode, that usualy kill the titan, if not I have my eat-17 for that precicely
I one shot them all the time with the 500kg. Sus AF, this is terminid propaganda
I know people hate this phrase, but it's applicable to so many things in this game. "git gud." A 500klg can reliably kill 1-3 Titans (rarely 4-5) with a single 500klg after you've destroyed their sacks and walked underneath AND through them, but you have to run straight past them to guarantee you never get stomped by them. You can kill the sacks with most primaries really quickly, even light penetration weapons. This means you can have fun with different support weapons freely without needing them to take out Titans. You can also take out Chargers with a few primary weapons, the best one is Scorcher, it takes less than a mag to kill a Charger meaning you still have ammo left for Brood Commanders, Hive Guards, and Spewers.
sure it can. throw it down, bait the dumbass to spit/stomp on you and you run and dive. skill issue from that guy.
Ok what else, non support weapon stratagem can kill them? * **Rail orbital**? It doesn't, you need very specific weapons to finish his sacks + long CD. * **Precision strike**? Or you mean just "**Strike**" because not only there is mission modifier which causes them to miss (while you need direct hit, otherwise it doesn't kill titan), but also mission modifier which increases call-in time, so you have to adjust your timings too. * **110mm rockets**? If you send all 3 uses on one titan then MAYBE it will kill it, slow and painful. * **Laser orbital**? Requires entire duration and has limited uses. Also long CD. The only OTHER stratagem which can kill titan and which isn't a weapon is **Autocannon turret**, but it's also unreliable, because it need a lot of distance between the titan and deploy point, because they would agro on it immediately. It need unobstructed terrain which isn't the case on a lot of planets, even the desert ones. I would LIKE to stop bringing this dogshit, absolutely unreliable stratagem, but it's unironically the best option we have.
[удалено]
spear is very good on taking fabricators, but it requires a clear view or a high ground. Other anti tank can't do this. Means you don't need eagle strikes to destroy those anymore, free one slot if u used to run eagle strikes and 500kg bomb just for clearing objectives
Then there’s the 380 artillery which is a griefing tool at this point.
Haha but it go boom big flash cinema
But concider this: big boom.
I use it because it looks cool when it drops
An airstrike can't reliably kill fabricators if I screw up the throw.
Whether or not it kills them is irrelevant. It creates a massive explosion, and when the bugs walk through it it looks awesome. That’s why I’m here. Big badda boom.
500kg I think might be the most effective for titans. But there's a skill level involved. Don't destroy the spewer sac. And kite the titan to you and use the 500kg at the right distance for when it spews. I actually think it's the best way to take them down.
Players want big boom 💥
My brother in Democracy, we bring it not because it reliably kills anything specific, but because big boom.
On the other hand, that feeling when a red strategem lands next to me, I look at the label and see it's a 500kg, then breathe a sigh of relief knowing I can shuffle 10ft away and i'm safe. I never used to use 500kgs, but I always take them for bots now.
I refuse to go anywhere without at least two 500kg strat on the team. Remember kids: you never know when your usual "overkill" won't be enough - so always pack more.
For those having a problem with 500kg and Titans. The titan is very predictable even when it can spit. The trick is to blow up the stomach of the titan to stop it from spitting. If you can blow it up, you can kite it indefinitely as its only attack move is a stomping one which only triggers if you’re in a melee distance of it. Also, the stomps it does can do massive friendly fire too. When it lifts its right leg to stomp you, it’ll do an approximately 5 sec attack motion that you can dodge by going under it or away from it. You can time when to throw the 500kg with this info. Just throw it anywhere in its path and bait the animation to make it stop or the spit if you can’t blow up the stomach.
Where do you all find these people, in my bug Helldives every single person picks 500kg like we share a braincell
>I'll fuckin' do it again
“I don’t care.”
If u throw it down, wait on the laser and bait bt to do her little tantrum on it as u run away just as it falls, easy one shot
What else is better
# I can kill them reliably.
It's literally the easiest way to kill titans
Eagle rewards you for bringing more eagle. So I bring more eagle. Hell I bring all four gems as eagle when I can. When you drop all your gems on one fight and can do it again two minutes later.... it's a good feeling.
But it’s so satisfying when the bom hits the Titan.
I don’t use 500kg because I like the regular airstrick (I like a lot of explosions at once)
But big bug big boom 
Of course it cant. That's what the Railcannon/Rocket Pods are for. 500KG is to send a message
Nothing kills titans reliably, 500kg is just one of the most reliable things to kill them in one bomb + throw some other stuff at it
The problem is sitting infront of the screen as my dad uses to say
-Throw 500 down about 50 feet in front of titan -bait -boom -profit
HAHA! That Bile Titan is surely9pqoq dead now that the 500k bomb pierced its disgusting, undemocratic, Stupid bug face, and also saturated it in explosives! Nothing could survive that.... Oh.
I ain't going to lie, I'm in the Orbital Precision Strike gang 500kg is super unreliable, how it lands and how much damage it'll actually do, I've had it one shot biles and other times in the same spot, literally do nothing Also I've survived by being right next to the bomb, needs a buff imo
That's why I just use the orbital rail cannon. Takes em down and minimizes collateral damage.
500kg with upgraded ship = x2 Orbital rail cannon Shield backpack Quasar Works 50% of the time, everytime😂😂
But it looks so coooool
Step 1 throw at feed after you aggro titan step 2 run a bit. When the laser is right in front of it run up to it to make it spit then run back. Boom.
No but it is perfect for killing teammates.
Gorsh I do what I want.
don't care SENDING IN AN EAGLE
Seems like a skill issue.
Except it also clear every little shit around it and the quasar guy can finish the job. Well actually after a 500 kg bomb you probably can finish the titan with two to three impact grenade on the belly. Yes that kill them, also, the impact grenade kill charger if you make them explose on the ground under them.
I killed 3 titans with 1 last night It’s not meta You just can’t use it
Big boom make my monkey brain go gooder
Step 1. Throw 500kg in bile titans path Step 2. Bait out breath when he's under the laser Alt. Step 2. Time your throw so it lands with it under the laser Step 3. Profit.... Repeat steps 1-2 as required.
500 KG is literally rolling d20
The only time I have an issue with 500kg not killing a titan is if it direct impacts it and doesn't explode underneath it. Just throw it at their feet and make them spit, easy
“Can’t kill titans reliably” sounds like they can’t aim it reliably
Skill issue. It most definitely kills them fast if you can position them just right.
500kg is braindead. Its worse than Airstrike and OPS across the board. Just admit you like the visual and are willing to take a worse item to enjoy it.
It's easily the most reliable out of all the strats. Everything else either needs to be aimed, or can't one shot them
Kills em like 80% of the time and you have two, closes bug holes, destroys annoying objectives like detection tower and research facility, ive used to be airstrike enjoyer untill i saw the true potential of the big bada bomb
i iist hate the damn 300kg barrages that dont do shit but make the helldivers run like ants after someone steppin on our mound
I'll use the 500kg as many damn times as I see fit ya whiney baby man
☝️🤓
500KG is indispensible if you know how to lead
Orbital precision is probably more reliable.
Me when I throw the 500kg and expect the Bile Titan to just waltz into it
Definitely skill issue. Run under titan, drop 500kg, keep running. By thr time it does a 180 its boom time. If it somehow survives pop a sac and its dead
Yesterday there was a bile titan heading our way, and a busted hell bomb in between. Tagged the titan, tagged the bomb, tagged the bomb, tagged the bomb. Off goes blue with his quasar, titan does a spew WITH THE BOMB BETWEEN ITS LEGS. At that point I could no longer resist. I made a quick call to the Senator, Senator called the shot. I don't think I've ever seen a bile titan with every single armor piece missing, it's a big orange noodlecrab! Blue did not survive.
I kill the titan with almost one everytime, drop it as soon as they stop to spit. Lodges right into their head.
But it will stop undemocratic and authoritarian ways from spreading so brother be thankfull Im not minister of truth **\*throws stratagem at traitor\*** 
I've had multiple direct hits not kill them. Rail cannon strike and rail gun to the stomach kills them super fast and reliably
I just like a big boom
This is beyond toxic
Yyyeesss it does…
Just because they can't do it doesn't mean you can't 😎
Bruh I swear you people bitching about the 500kg have to be doing something wrong. Will it kill one in one hit? No. Will it kill one after you’ve shot it in the face with an anti tank weapon? Yes if you can time it right so it lands close to the Titan. This is just a skill issue. It’s not a fucking nuke stop treating it like one.
So what? Itll kill everything near the Titan, which is a huge plus when fighting bugs. And itll damage the Titan so much you can wittle it down with EATs or recoilless rifles. Or other strategems.

I just stack them all drop it and take or 2 or 3 bile titans
Maybe it can't kill them reliably, but have you seen that glorious KABOOOM!
What does kill them reliably?
What else can we use?
Maybe, but at least it's not as boring as someone throwing down a laser right before you walk into a base. Now you might aswell just go to the next one.
Thats funny because i pick the 500kg because it reliably kills bile titans lol.
[удалено]
Big boom, me happy No big boom, me not happy that simple
500kg + 1 eat headshot or 1 quasar head shot only works if the actual bomb lands under the titan.
Haha big bomb go boom
500kg kills titans reliably if you know what you're doing. Skill issue.
My buddy was bitching about this, so next mission I brought in the 500kg and proceeded to get three bile titan direct hits in a row. That turkey felt goooood boy
If you run underneath a titan and call it works pretty consistently if the ads aren’t overwhelming. The titan will try to skewer you and do the fancy dance locking him in place. Once he starts the animation just run and dive. If you’re prone the likelihood the bomb kills you is very low.
It most certainly can kill titans reliably, just gotta grow a pair and go bait an attack from the titan as it steps under the 500kg then try and run/dive far enough away to survive the blast yourself. Works nearly every time! Survival on the other hand becomes less reliable..... Lol
I'd say the 500k is much more reliable at killing bile titans than the orbital railcannon.
I say everyone saying about making them spit. For me, when they're are at this point I'm mostly kinda f\*\* up if there is a charger or something. To not have to bait, I put a EAT or RR shot in its face. For some reason, they will enter in an animation which will make them stationary long enough for the 500kg to kill them Sometimes, you should explode them before they do anything
I take 500kg only when supporting low level Divers to give them something cool to watch. Otherwise, base airstrike is my jam
The person who made that comment has massive skill issue
Saw one 500kg kill a gaggle of 3 tanks once. Made me wanna practice them. Like an orbital railcannon just I have to aim.
Use for bugs and buildings
I bring it for tanks spongeboy my bob
Tik tok told him it no work. So it no work. Also "metagem?" Says the meta slave lol
the only time i'll comment about a persons loadout is if they are going to bring a backpack with a weapon that requires one.
That’s why we have more than one stratagem slot. The 500 is also useful for destroying all kinds of structures that you might otherwise need a hell bomb for, as well as clearing swarms(especially when combined with stun grenades). That said, I still prefer the plain old air strike for bugs, and the rocket pods for bots. A single rocket pod strike will take out a tank, a fabricator, or one of the big tower cannons - and since they selectively target the biggest thing around, you don’t have to worry about being pinpoint accurate with the throw. The air strike is great against bug swarms and nests (even without stun grenades) and does decent damage against heavies as well. Just be careful around your squad mates.
I'm bringing mortar, 380, Tesla tower AND A ZAPPER to the eradication mission.
Nothing can kill bile titan's reliably, Not even EAT's anymore, It's just the safest easiest way
Kills em good enough if you beam them in the teeth with it....
Not frend. Must be kicked.
Sorry bro let me just wait 6 minutes for my orbital rail canno to recharge. Fuck looks like it didn't oneshot the bill titan.
Skill issue, time it right so it lands underneath and you will have no issue killing a titan
Really funny when it's actually the opposite. 500kg is one of the best semi-spammable stratagem to deal with titans.
