A massive airship of the Illuminati smashes buildings and fires extremely powerful guns at the soldiers below in the Helldivers 2! The auger can be defeated, and although it may provide a serious challenge during the course of a mission.
Targeting the Leviathan’s Vulnerable Areas
Knowledge of Leviathan’s anatomy is needed to kill it. Most damage inflicted is caused at three target areas. These are most effective.
The Blue Targeting Zone
Using the Spear weapon system against the creature will show its blue circle under its head. Direct hits to this region trigger explosive reactions. It is unclear how much damage it deals or whether it does damage significantly and/or disables specific Leviathan systems, but this target is effective.
Segmental Connection Points
There is another tactical opportunity at the gemba, or joints, connecting the segments of the leviathan. Laser cannons firing from below can meaningfully damage these connection points. However, this calls for some experience as the creature will rush all around the area rather quickly making it very hard to keep your targeting angles.
Wing Destruction Strategy
To kill a leviathan, the best way to do this is to destroy the left or right front wing assembly. When you hit the wing, it will show a blue flame to signify the weak point. This newly revealed target zone can now be saturated with heavy ordnance of items such as autocannons, laser cannons, and defensive turrets.
Optimal Weapon Selection and Combat Techniques
To overcome a Leviathan, you need the right gear and a proper strategy to execute. In this engagement, the friendly weapon stratagems of recoilless rifle and spear system performs better. An excellent example of firepower is the Recoilless Rifle. If your partner is serving the shots, a constant barrel can be maintained. Soldiers must take position close to supply drop zones to get ammo refill.
It’s Special Orbital Railcannon Strikes and even Orbital Laser strikes were unhelpful against Leviathans. Due to non-locking capabilities of targeting systems, they failed to lock on successively.
Coordinated Team Operations and Ammunition Management
Destroying the Leviathan isn’t the main objective of the mission. However, the rewards for slaying this monster are worth the effort, especially when carried out by a coordinated team. Using a weapon, when users finish shooting, team members take over loading. In this way, the combat effectiveness improves remarkably.
Gamers had better learn that while dodging and cover can be viable options, the leviathan’s gigantic size and strength will make that quite the feat.
Final Tactical Considerations
You’ll want to be very specific with what you’re aiming for and how you shoot it. Target the wing parts, the elbow, or the blue dot beneath its head, and conserve your ammo while doing so. With proper planning and coordination of teamwork, Super Earth’s defence forces could beat this tough opponent.
