Leviathan's True Weakspot - Helldivers 2 Guide

patriot works well 9 rockets if you just body it about 6-7 if you hit wings and use mini gun

SPEAR gang in my squad fire n forget anything lockable

Those leviathans are the only enemies in the game I willingly avoid. I got better stuff to do

So this is my strategy: avoid the streets. Only navigate the tight corridors and alleyways.
On the rare occasion where I’m forced to take it on, I’ll just let my teammates deal with it while I knock out the objectives. Ain’t nobody got time for that

My friend and I took down 5 or 6 in a single match. While I think it's a very nice enemy to bring in some variaty, I dislike the fact that there can be THAT many in a mission. After another 3 spawned we just gave up because they replenish faster than we can kill them. Personally I wouldn't mind some kind of limit of X-leviathans per mission. Especially given that they can kill generators in defense missions and one-shot nearly anything on direct hits.

I’ve called in walkers several times only for one of these to pop out of nowhere and one shot me

shoot the circles and win

I've started bringing an anti tank emplacement on these missions, managed to take down 2 with one turret last night

All i want is just more clear visible damage. It's hard to tell if I'm actually damaging it or not. I shot one with all seven rounds from my recoiless rifle and couldn't really tell if i was hurting it or not besides the red hit marker

Anything that uses the mini-turrets as a template is an instant dislike. Those things are not fun, not amusing. Getting 1 shot by regular turrets on bots? Ok fine. You get a warning with a flash of red, they're pretty visible. Mini-turrets rag doll you so you're helpless, then kill you. It's so much more insulting.

So this thing doing that, but being tankier than anything else in the game and constantly being able to gun your ass down is really obnoxious. But the fact it shows up on defense missions and can blow up the generators? C'mon. WTF is this.

I don't mind difficulty, especially if we're talking the hardest mode. But if three of these things are able to spawn on a defense mission on top of everything else? I'm not sure what you're supposed to do.

Drop pods do damage, I have indeed took one down but I’m sure that it needs to be low health

So if your lucky and your super destroyer is in the right spot, it can be hit by about 3-4 380 mm HE barrages and die.

You really can't hide from them either. They'll shoot you through buildings from 3 miles out before you even know they're there. We just run 2 dedicated spear players, everyone else's job is to get to the objectives and call out them space whales

Spear works amazingly because there’s tons of spare ammo everywhere in the city that everyone will typically ignore. I just find a sample spot with ammo and either wait for or rush the leviathan.

I think it should spawn enemies, tbh. Kinda like drop Voteless down. I do think attacking it is kinda insane with any current loadout available. Maybe we need new stratagems?

I've been using the the wasp three or four shots and it's going down

Thirteen rockets from a mech takes one leviathan out.

The leviathan really doesn't add to gameplay, it's just annoying.

I think as a Modifier enemy it's fine as is

Did anyone try helldiver pods?

Leviathan needs a decent nerf. Nerf the accuracy on it's cannons and maybe adjust it's health a bit.
We had one just circling the OBJ to evac stuff and it was just sniping the generators and we had no idea, we lost and were like "wtf" look up and see that smug prick circling.

well my group cheese it with a catapulting anti tank emplacement and a dude with a portable hell bomb took use many tries try but got it with hell bomb

make pelican cant land if leviathan in sight

I didn't get a chance to test this thoroughly, but I suspect the eyes (bridge/cockpit?) are a weak spot. Problem is how often that angle of fire is presented to you.

I dont know why it dint work for you but shooting the circles takes 3 recoiles shots to take it down entirely

If you tell the seaf soldiers to follow they can bubble wrap you from the leviathans.

I mean, at the speed it's going, those clearly aren't conventional aerodynamic-lift wings.

Imo there should only be about 1 Leviathan in a match. If it's killed, there should be a 3 min. cooldown before another spawns.

I think it should be even more deadly, with more precise shots
This would make it a priority target and encourage team play to take it down as quickly as possible

Wow, at this rate, we're gonna need Evangelions for anything worse.

if you line it up between you and your ship and throw down a gatling barrage it often kills it

Has nobody just tried beaming the 💩 out of the front middle circle with the laser cannon, it’s what I use and it takes about a full heat sink. It takes them down no problem but also use the eruptor just before the heat sink fails to take it down that way.

orbital lazer WILL NOT TARGET leviathans but will damage them seemingly

2 homies using the Recoiless and just team shooting it. Takes it out in less then 10 seconds. Primarily aiming for the underbelly

So the moral of the story is there just cheap enemies and it’s best to avoid or waste a lot of explosive ammo on the blue spots then heavy weapons or leave em be since there not automation striders.

I managed to kill one because the angles were just right I threw a 500 KG strat at the ground and it hit the leviathan

They look like flying horseshoe Crabs

wish eagle 1 can help us take them out

Straffing run does crazy damage if you get the throw right. Throw stratagem far past ship so straff run can cruise across it cuz the angle of straffing run.

I lost so many seaf Squads theses things obliterate them so fast

These things can Tank not ONE, but TWO shots from one of the new AA cannons in take down mothership missions. (me and my friend got lucky, lol) Usually its taken what seems to be around 3 hits on an unshielded mothership with this this AA cannon, and it seems to display a very noticeable amount of damage. BUT THE LEVIATHANS didn't seem to take ANY visible damage from this thing

*THIS IMPLIES THAT MOTHERSHIPS HAVE WEAKER ARMOR THEN LEVIATHANS*

Best chance I've founs is 4 shots from RR. Break both front wings

It should rain down fleshmobs, also it should start fires, poison fires, and it needs some sort of countermeasures perhaps flares or the ability to hack turrets and slow down projectiles with time dilation. Maybe it should make stim packs ineffective in a radius too, and what if it was longer, like 15 sections longer, all covered in guns, and if it manages to latch onto it's own tale everything in the radius is hit by a jammer which makes your stratagems randomized.

its easy to kill a lev with the giant cannon that's used to complete the last objective. 2 people on the steering, 1 person hitting fire on the control station.

Where the hell are the sam sites?

Really hope they nerf the damage these things deal out, makes playing solo on high difficulty really not fun tbh, 4 reinforcements with a chance to get one shot with no way to react/ avoid it AND having my FRV destroyed is bit of a genuine nuisance in a not fun way

I think it's a great case study on how Swedes can't make a great live game, They give the enemies everything and us a pat on the back saying hang in there, oh here have a stealth Nerf. I want some tanks.

Expedited training manuals are much appreciated diver

I wouldn’t even bother with them, you kill one and then three more show up not even 5min later.

They aren’t much of a problem if you just use the buildings for cover, and don’t let them sneak up on you.

My PC can't handle all the buildings kills my frame rate, im absolutely devastated. Give em hell for me guys 😢
