♥♥♥♥ the Impaler

[Punisher6791]

anyone else ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate this enemy that never should have been brought back? why is it a common spawn? its really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying too with its infinite range tentacles too. it needs to be removed from the game altogether. its bad enough that we have to fight 4 chargers every time the enemy encounter happens on lvl 8.

the design team of this game has some severe issues. they do not know what is fun, only what is annoying to the player. whoever decided charger behemoths should exist outside special conditions like fixed spawns at objectives, should also be fired.

It's from helldivers 1 , it's easy to kill. Just aim at its head when the tentacles are out.

Oh man that sure does sound easy when there are 3 other chargers, a bile titan, and a god forbidden amount of hunters.

How could I not have thought of that.

And while you're not being stunlocked endlessly by the ragdolling effect of the impaler to begin with. "Haha just aim at its head." You know, its head that has enough total HP to survive an entire 10 round magdump with all hits connecting from the autocannon. The factory strider doesn't even have that much HP. Takes like 7 to the belly from autocannon to kill one. Impaler just shrugs it off. Doesn't even die to an orbital railcannon strike either.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded by anyone saying it's easy to kill them since you're basically limited to options that would normally kill bile titans. A set of stratagems that are limited and CD reliant are now being split between two high-threat targets without escalating our options to deal with them. Amazing.

Unless you are running solo, some competent helldivers should be able to clean that up. Just killed about 6 or so impalers. It was worse in HD1.

it actually is rather easy to kill compared to the other heavies. Can they be dangerous? Yes if you're standing still but the tentacles 'face' directions. Don't be in those directions. You can tell this by them having a visual front and back armor type.
you don't bother with the tentacles. Just go for the body. People just ♥♥♥♥♥ because they don't pay attention to their surroundings and map. It's a giant red dot on the map, find it, throw a stratagem on it, grenade it and shoot it in the face.

And the statement from the next unskilled player is going to be about how that's so unbelievably hard when there's X, Y, and Z charging and chasing and jumping you. I just solo'd 3 of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things during a bug breach on 10. it can be done. Figure out and fix your crappy armor/loadouts. Shut up and complain about something worthwhile like the dozens of literal game breaking glitches that occur every dam day.

Nothin like dealing with an off screen Impaler while elites and behomoths raged around on screen

[General High Ping]

Do shots from the blitzer connect with the tentacles?
Feels like 90% of my shots weren't connecting?

[joeredner]

Of all the things to gripe about this isn't one of them. Other than occasionally getting launched it is both squishy and doesn't hit hard.

its another poorly designed unfun menace to deal with. all these people talking about how "easy" it is all run solo and have like 6 mobs on screen at one time

just lol

This thing survived an airstrike somehow. Seems like precision strike is the only offensive gem that is efficient at taking it out (maybe 500kg too but havent tried yet) which is stupid since I try to save that one for the biles.

i cant say i've had much trouble with impalers, i think the design overall is really cool, i do think they are maybe a bit tougher than they need to be though, takes a lot to kill one, takes even more to kill 3 of them and a bile titan, im more worried about stalkers anyway lol

[Doug Dimmadong]

It is quite annoying. Had a few times where the tentacles have ragdolled me into space. Fun mechanic.
