BROOD COMMANDER

Directing its foul brethren with a mixture of pheromone-like spores and authoritarian shrieks, the bloodthirsty Brood Commander is a rare and deadly strain known for its undeniable hatred of the right to vote.

TACTICAL BRIEF

• Brood Commanders can call in a Bug Breach, even without their head. • While any weapon is capable of killing a Brood Commander, explosives and Medium armor-penetrating weapons are more effective against them. • Destroying their head may be a less viable strategy as they can survive for longer than warriors, meaning that they will enter their berserk state for longer, allowing them to sometimes catch up to Helldivers and kill them before dying. • Despite their low armor, they can absorb large amounts of ammo before dying, due to this, high damage weaponry and explosives are recommended. Their head, claws, and body have slightly thicker armor, reducing damage from Light penetration weaponry. • Their legs are not armored, making them vulnerable to Light penetration weaponry. Destroying a leg will significantly reduce its movement and charge speed, being reduced further with any additional legs destroyed. • Even while missing a leg, the Brood Commander is still able to "charge," inflicting damage and its effects; this is despite not appearing to be actually charging.
