How to constantly beat acid crawlers and bone wurms consistently?

[artzpiip]

I often seem to die to these two enemies as there seems to be no tactic that I can use to consistently kill them without dying. It doesn't help that the trajectory marks of acid crawlers are more distracting than helpful. It's especially bad for melee bros.

Can anyone help?

If you're lucky enough to get a Bro with a grenade special (except the Brodell Walker and Bro Hard), you can kill all of them instantly by throwing a grenade inside their mouth. If you weren't that lucky, just try not to come too close, since Bone Wurms will start bloating with fire, and acid crawlers will just eat you. Then, depending what enemy are you fighting against, you gotta pick a strategy.
Easiest way to deal with Wurms is just to constantly shoot into their head and shoot down flying skulls they spawn before they start chasing you, so their corpses could explode just almost when they leave wurm's throat and damage the wurm itself.
Acid crawlers are harder to deal with. They require a lot of dodging skills, because shooting them in the head sure can stun them for a second or two, but they'll spit instantly just after the stun ends. Just jump around like crazy and always keep in mind the fact that their big acid ball after contacting with any surfaces explodes, making three more smaller acid balls, that fly in different directions.
That's basically it.

What about melee bros?

Neo's bullet time can reflect projectiles, including the acid and fireballs - along with simply not hitting you, they deal a lot of damage to the worm, as I recall. I don't actually know if the swords can reflect acid/fire like they can with bullets. If nothing else, Brade and Bronan are invincible during their specials.

Huh. I haven't tested it, but something tells me you can't feed them Bro Heart's sword. That'd be neat.

This makes it down to the luck.

Hit and run tactics work well with melee bros.

They definitely could slow down the worms fire rate. I primarily play Broforce solo and I find them to be a real pain sometimes. I end up spending the majority of the time trying to dodge their acid attack and I'm only able to get a couple shots off before it shoots another acid ball.

it works wonders on acid crawlers and other aliens that stick out of the ground.

Sometimes they curve in a way that you can't really escape.

Or add one weak spot, where you should aim, like some sort of acid storage, that they have in their inner organs, etc, etc. Shoot it to pieces and you can then easily kill him.

With brodator, attack the worms that come out of the bone wurm and the lost souls will deal damage to the bone wurm
