Devastator Helldivers 2, how to face and defeat it?

 Helldivers 2 is now available on PS5 and PC and you will face many threats including the Devastator. We tell you where and how to defeat him.

Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Helldivers 2 is available since February 8, 2024, on PC and PS5! This title puts you in the shoes of a soldier who is sent to different planets to complete missions and eliminate the alien threats that have invaded them.

During your missions, you will come across several types of enemies including the Devastator and some players wonder where to find them and how to defeat them. So we will give you the answer.

Where to find Devastators in Helldivers 2?

If, like some players, you want to face Devastators, you will have to go to the sectors controlled by the Automatons since this enemy is probably an automaton. However, they will be quite rare and only appear after unlocking a certain difficulty. If a Devastator is in your area, it will be marked with a specific symbol in the shape of an automaton head on your mini-map.

As a reminder, Devastators are a kind of giant bipedal robot that can shoot you with a machine gun or a rocket launcher. He will be an incessant threat to you with his ranged arsenal coupled with disturbing light armor.

How to defeat a Devastator in Helldivers 2?

If you want to defeat a Devastator, you will have to target its weak point. This is his head, the only part of his body that is not armored. To make your life easier when making shots in this area, we advise you to try to aim at his head as much as possible. You can also have fun throwing explosives or other such Stratagems, but using them on a single enemy wouldn't really be wise and could jeopardize your mission.
