Introduction
The Charger[helldivers.wiki.gg] and it's variants are the Main Target of this guide.

The Charger is a heavy armor unit that first start appearing on Medium (3) difficulty[helldivers.wiki.gg] on certain type of mission but will start appearing more common on all type of mission from Challenging (4) difficulty and higher.

Chargers have two variants: the Charger Behemoth[helldivers.wiki.gg] and the Spore Charger[helldivers.wiki.gg]. You as the player will deal with them the same way as a regular Charger; the only difference are "how many more shot does it take to take it down?"
Key Note
Charger
Difficulty Appearance: Medium (3) on certain type of mission; Challenging (4) difficulty and higher (Common)

Charger Behemoth
Difficulty Appearance: Medium (3) on certain type of mission; Challenging (4) difficulty and higher (Depend on Which Missions and difficulty Level, This will replace the normal Charger on those Missions)

Spore Charger
Difficulty Appearance: Suicide Mission (7) difficulty and higher. (Depend on Mission and Certain Situation/Circumstances on the Mission)

-------------------------------------------------------------
How do You Eliminate a Charger?
  • Hit it's Vulnerable/Weak Spot with a correct selected weapon.
  • Drop or Call down Something directly on it
  • Hit it with an Orbital or Eagle attack
Where are the Vulnerable/Weak Spot on the Charger
  • The Rear/Behind
  • The Flesh under the Armor After You Remove it with an attack
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
All Weapons Test are tested under a restricted self-made guideline in a control setting. If the weapon or stratagem do not met the guideline, they will not be listed here even if they can eliminate the target eventually. What will also not be listed are any "Defensive" stratagems as these stratagems require set-up to be uses to their full potential. Just think of this way; if the Support Weapon version can do it, then the Sentry Gun version can do better.
Unorthodox Ways
Just Drop or Call Down anything Directly on to the Charger to destroy it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
  • Player Landing Directly on to it.
  • Calling down a Supply Drop Directly on it
  • Calling down Any Defensive Stratagems Directly on it
  • Calling down Any Backpacks Stratagems Directly on it
  • Calling down Any Support Weapons Stratagems Directly on it

Personal's Weapon
Note:
All weapons listed here may require more then one shot depending the weapon
-------------------------------------------------------------
Charger's Body (Anywhere, In General)
Note: Thank to patch: 1.001.100, that lower the armor value, most heavy weapon and anti-tank weapon can kill the Charger on the main body with several shot if needed to remove the armor to kill it.
Support Weapons (Stratagems)
***Anti-Tank Weapon will kill the Charger instantly (depend on the weapon) regardless where it land on it. (Preferable the headshot one)
**Heavy Armor Penetrating weapons can now attack the front of the Charger and destroy it armor and kill it within a timely manner
*Special Weapons can eventually kill the charger (with a few exception) but it will not be listed
Grenades
  • G-123 Thermite Grenade
Vehicles
  • Patriot Exosuit
  • Emancipator Exosuit
--------------------------------------
Charger's Behind/Rear
***Shoot the Rear/Behind

Primary
  • Any Primary Can Damage the Charger's Rear/Behind but will recommend using high damaging weapons, larges magazine weapons and/or explosives weapons
Sidearms
  • Any Sidearms that can do damage will damage the Charger's Rear/Behind but will recommend only if you have a high damaging weapons or explosives weapons or else I don't recommend "sidearms" altogether because they don't have enough ammo per magazine to eliminate the Charger within reasonable time.
Support Weapons (Stratagems)
  • Any Support Weapons (Stratagems) with direct attack can damage the Charger except certain Special Weapon (Sterilizer[helldivers.wiki.gg]) and Airburst Rocket Launcher[helldivers.wiki.gg]
Grenades
  • Uses any of the explosives Grenades, the other Grenades don't do enough damage or kill them fast enough within timely manner.
Vehicles
  • Patriot Exosuit
  • Emancipator Exosuit
  • FRV
