how to deal with chargers

[Subzero]

any one got a tip on how to deal with them my way was with rail gun but now thats nerf idk what else to use

[WastingSanity]

Use terrain and out run them. If you have to fight them, shoot their butt. Grenade launcher and anti armor stuff works well. Orbital Railcannon destroys them but should be saved for Titans.

Stun grenade + EAT or 500kg. that's 4 charger with both if you're decent.

Railgun in unsave mode

Additional gamechanger for anyone who is still doing this (I was for a bit too long)

Do not run AWAY from them. Run TOWARDS them.
You can run right past them by juking or even diving. (I prefer juking because it keeps my speed up.

The back of it's legs seem to become vulnerable to small arms fire after it charges

The new plasma launcher - I refuse to call it a shotgun - is great. You have to aim for under the charger though. Try not to hit the legs and it staggers really nice. There's a good video on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6clX5SPvZys

that is actually cool. now i'm annoyed at myself for not having tried that myself. i tested it against titans but not charger >.< that gun surprises me everytime

Expendable anti-tank 1 shots them to the head. Get the charger to charge you and shoot it in the head. These weapons have a very quick resupply time, so you can call them in a lot. Even if you don't use them, call it in and another player might grab one.

Wrong lol the best way to handle them is one EAT straight to the face, the other options do work but are much slower.

I'm referring to the max difficulty in the game Helldive - 9. Expendable anti tank isn't that great there.

Lol, noob. EAT oneshots chargers and twoshots titans at 9

best option 2 shots every 70 seconds and you can hold it with a backpack on

Apparently this is a "glitch" and will be getting "fixed".

I use expendable anti-tank, 1 perfect headshot is a kill. It also has a short cooldown to make up for the expendable fact.

Stun grenade -> cook with Flamethrower by focusing one leg
Stun grenade -> electrocute with Arc Thrower
Stun grenade -> EAT pod to head
Stun grenade -> Random pod to head
Stun grenade -> 500kg (not ideal, better saved for Titans)
EAT to face
EAT to leg and shoot leg with primary (not ideal, but happens)
Unsafe Railgun to leg twice -> shoot with primary (does shooting face now work better?)
Dodge -> spam Autocannon to butt
Dodge -> Stun grenade -> shoot butt with primary (panic solution, but not horrible if you have explosive damage on primary)

Stun grenade is insanely good.

Recoilless Rifle/EAT, Try your best to aim for the head for one hit. Body shots work but will probably take a couple more hits probably 3 to 4 more times

If you chip it's frontal leg armor you can finish it off with normal weapons (3 shots from breaker) Railguns can do that as well as Anti-Tank/Recoilless.

Stratagems like Laser Orbital can also deteriorate it's defense similar with 500kg bomb which can almost kill it (inconsistent) 110m Rock Pods can half it's HP? and Orbital Railgun can almost one shot it. These results vary because sometimes they tend to move past the original spot and miss the full effect.

these are just based on my experience
