LEVIATHAN

• A Leviathan's Disintegration Culverin turrets can be destroyed by any Heavy AP or higher Support Weapon, drastically lowering the Leviathan's lethality. The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank are very effective at this, destroying the turrets in a single shot. • Given their tough armor and massive health pool, Anti-Tank options such as the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle, FAF-14 Spear, and E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement are favorable against Leviathans. Destroying the Fins or Tail of the Leviathan will expose its internals (marked by spewing blue flames), which are Heavy armor, and can be damaged by Heavy Armor Penetrating weaponry like the APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle or LAS-98 Laser Cannon. • The Leviathan's Distintegtraion Culverins are extremely lethal, doing 400 damage per second. A single one is capable of killing a Helldiver within half a second, and multiple beams often focus on the same target. Therefore, it is advised to stay on the move when under fire from it. • While difficult and requiring precise positioning, it is possible to destroy a Leviathan with a single Eagle Strafing Run or Orbital Gatling Barrage. • Smoke Strategems such as the Eagle Smoke Strike or Orbital Smoke Strike can be very useful to block a Leviathan's line of sight, preventing them from targeting Helldivers. If a beam is already targeting a Helldiver, then it will continue doing so, even if the line of sight is blocked by smoke. • As with other large enemies such as the Bile Titan, the falling wreckage of a Leviathan can damage or kill Helldivers caught underneath it. Helldivers should be prepared to quickly move out of the way if shooting at one directly overhead. • Using Exosuits, M-102 Fast Reconnaissance Vehicles, and Emplacement Stratagems is ill-advised due to how easily they can be destroyed by a Leviathan, very likely killing the Helldiver in the process.
