How to deal with Nursing Spewers?
New to the franchise and enjoying the game so far. But one enemy that consistently gives my friends and I trouble are the Nursing Spewers. They're fast, tanky, nearly one-hit-kill with ranged attacks, usually spawn in groups of 4+ and are armoured even on their heads.

What are some good ways of taking care of them? Our group is only on page 2 of the battle pass thing so we only have a handful of guns to use.

a grenade in the face, work wonderfully with the instant explosion grenade, eagles stratagem, they're quick. portable auto cannon, anything quick with explosive

the railgun is good too, can two shots them, or one shot if well aimed in the head

Slugger stuns them out of their spit animation, may require a headshot, unsure.

If they are early in the warbond, they can't possibly use impact grenades.

At least you can more easily reach level 10 for the autocannon before impact grenades, but even that is probably out of reach if they are that fresh.

their weak point is on the side, so discharge your ammo in there

Even if we don't have it yet it's still handy to know what to go for later on

True enough there, just burnt out on seeing people literally scream at the newbies for not bringing a weapon you need to be level 10-20 to own.

Though as a warning about impact grenades, nest holes can already be fussy when it comes to grenades seemingly going in but not quite counting. Impact grenades should have been obvious downside according to people posting mixed results, is that they even more tricky for nest and vent busting because you need a perfect arc to not pop without results.

I just unlocked the plasma rifle in the 10th tier of the warbond, and it's absolutely a spewer counter.

But it took me over 100 hours to unlock so that doesn't really help lel sorry ;-;

it's an issue at first but with practice it's not really, you have to be more careful with your throw but you don't need to have a perfect arc ~

Grenades, grenade launcher and autocannons are the goto.

Railgun can work if you blast them in the face.

Grenade launcher. They aren't a problem after that upgrade.

Grenade Launcher is super effective. Other AT weapons, sure, but I think of those in other situations with Chargers, Titans, etc.
