The latest update for Helldivers 2, titled Omens of Tyranny, has brought back the formidable Illuminate faction. This alien force operates massive warships that utilize mind control to abduct human civilians. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to successfully dismantle these warships in the game.
Understanding Warships in Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, warships are described as enormous circular spacecraft that land in the Saleria Sector, identifiable by their location in the purple area on the war table, adjacent to the yellow Terminid and red Automaton territories. Players will encounter these warships marked within substantial red circles on their maps.
These warships serve as the spawn points for the Illuminate faction, similar to the function of Terminid hives and Automaton fabricators. While players can opt to destroy these warships, it is not always a mission’s primary objective. However, eliminating them can reduce enemy numbers and yield valuable resources such as samples and ammunition for resupplying your forces.
Strategies for Destroying Warships in Helldivers 2
To successfully eliminate a warship, players need to first disrupt its protective blue energy shield. This can be achieved by firing bullets at the shield until it is momentarily disabled. Once the shield is down, aim to throw a grenade through the entrance of the warship.
Just a single explosive device tossed through the glowing doorway is sufficient to obliterate the warship entirely.
Alternatively, players can deploy an Eagle 500kg Bomb or any similarly powerful Stratagem. This bomb is potent enough to bypass the shield, making preliminary gunfire unnecessary. Ensure to target the bomb directly on the warship to ensure complete destruction.
