Best ways to kill bile titans
Hey all, like the title says I would like to know your methods for killing bile titans. With the game spawning so many now it can get to a point where you have no EAT's or available orbitals to kill them all.

From what I see they have been stealth buffed so that an orbital rail cannon no longer one shots them which is garbage imo as that strat has such a long cooldown. They also seem to take at least 2 EATs to the head to kill.

I have seen people have great success with a well timed orbital precision strike but it's not consistent.

Anyway what are your tactics/what works best?

Discuss please.

Also, don't shot at them when they are spewing, they get damage reduction or the hitbox is hidden when they do it or something like that.

The skull is the weakspot.

This is literal misinformation lmfao. It takes around 8-11 fully charged unsafe shots to the forehead to kill a bile titan.

Orbital Railcannon Strike + Quasar, just in case if Railcannon didn't kill it for 1 shot.

Used to be that getting them to walk over a 500kg blast would do the job. Now I have to either drop a 500kg so that it lodges into a body part, or 500kg blast + rail cannon strike. I've heard the starter Precision Strike will one shot, but I haven't really tried that yet.

2 Anti Tank to the face or Spear to the face (2 to the same side)... Impact grenades to the belly.

Those are what works best for me. While i generally like to have an Orbital Precision Strike along, sometimes there are more Bile Titans on the field than "Stratagems" are a solution, so i don't consider them "best choice".

Best way to kill bile titan is to force him to make a PSN account. worked for the game.

Reminds me of the BSoD spell from Magicka. If only they devs dared to get that silly with the game.

* make it dance - rail strike one tap
* failrail - scorcher pop the greens, grenade head if necessary
* last ditch, pop the greens by any means then grenade the head until death, 4 or so.
(bring 6: because of spewers/holes)
* kill everything else and ignore it until there are two and a charger then orbital laser three for one while directing traffic with a stalwart.
* have nothing, lead the titian to a squad mate/s and make it their problem

The Spear. Long or medium range (can also be used at close range, but this requires a deeper understanding of the weapon). Shoot when the titan is coming straight at you, even better - when it starts to vomit. One rocket is enough. You can calmly shoot them from any distance, the main thing is the angle of aim. It's important to hit the face.

With great vengeance and furious anger!

For a more serious answer, anything not big, aim for the sacky undersides. Anything big, aim for the head. I am a fan of the Recoiless, but I could also be argued a traditionalist, lol.

500kg but don't hit it directly. It must land under it.

Two shots straight to the forehead with RR. But it must be spitting... wait, it must NOT be spitting that retracts the head mesh into the body apparently.

Is the PS5 host bug fixed? ♥♥♥♥ if I know.

I dunno just stand directly in front of it with a spear at a correct elevation level and hope it locks on or something.

Orbital Rail Cannon to break the outer carapace then cook them with the Flamethrower or Eagle Napalm is fun.

or an ORC followed by a Queso

I say target the bile sacs with your primary and once they're destroyed, orbital rail cannon to finish it. Destroying the sacs seems to deal loads of damage to it and makes it very vulnerable
