JET BRIGADE HULK BRUISER

• Destroying the jump-pack will instantly kill the hulk instead of causing it to bleed out, as well as exploding and damaging nearby enemies. It may be preferable to target this jump-pack to turn the Hulk into an improvised explosive against other Automatons. • As the jetpack is not immune to explosion damage, multiple sources of damage that would otherwise struggle to kill a Hulk from the front can successfully destroy the jetpack from the front due to their large explosion radius. • The upper vents of the Hulk's jetpack also stick out atop the front profile of the Hulk and can be targeted with any weapon of Armor Penetration Medium or above to these spots, though targeting them may prove tricky, particularly when shooting from a lower elevation. The jetpack armor completely covers the unarmored vents found on standard Hulks. Therefore, on Jet Brigade missions it is advised to bring at least one weapon of Armor Penetration Medium or above to have a way to deal with them. • Heavily armed and armored, Hulks are powerful enemies that demand special attention due to their durability and heavy weapons payload, as they are capable of killing Helldivers in short order. • Hulks are covered in Heavy armor, but they do have two weak spots: the glowing heat sink on their backs which are Unarmored II, and their Head, which only has 250 health and will kill a Hulk if destroyed. A Hulks vents can be damaged by any weapon, but are rather durable. It is advised to use higher-damage Support Weapon to more easily destroy the vents. Destroying its vents will cause the Hulk to go into a bleedout state, where they can be seen hobbling and flailing its weapons. • The RS-422 Railgun, APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle, and S-11 Speargun are capable of destroying its head with a single shot. • The Hulk's slow movement speed make them particularly vulnerable to dedicated anti-tank weapons such as the EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank, LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, and GR-8 Recoilless Rifle and are capable of destroying a Hulk in a single shot. Due to their poor mobility, Hulks can also be easily destroyed by most offensive explosive stratagems such as the Eagle 500kg Bomb, Eagle Strafing Run, and Eagle 110mm Rocket Pods. • A single G-123 Thermite will inflict enough damage to destroy a Hulk no matter where on its body it is placed. • While more durable than its weak spots, the Hulk's limbs can often be valid targets for destruction depending on the situation. The Hulk's arm joints can be shot and destroyed, causing them to drop that arm's respective weapon. Once both arms are destroyed, Hulks attempt to stomp on Helldivers instead. • The Hulk's legs can also be shot and destroyed; destroying one leg cripples its movement, and destroying both legs will kill the Hulk. The Hulk's legs are often much more convenient targets than its head or heat sinks. Destroying a leg will stagger it for several seconds and significantly slow its movement speed.
