So, you've come across a Leviathan in Helldivers 2 and lived to tell the tale. These giant, armored beasts are a real handful, and I remember the first time my squad encountered one. We wasted so much ammo trying to take it down, it was a disaster! But don't worry, with the right strategy, you can defeat them.

To kill a Leviathan in Helldivers 2, you need to focus your fire on its weak spots. These are the glowing blue areas on its body. The best way to do this is with heavy-pen-based weapons and stratagems. Teamwork is also super important, so make sure you and your squad are on the same page.

Leviathan's Weak Spots

Leviathans are covered in thick armor, but they have a few weak spots that you can target:

• Glowing Blue Fins: These are the most obvious weak spots. Destroy them to expose the Leviathan's vulnerable insides.
• Spine: Once the fins are gone, you can target the Leviathan's spine for massive damage.
• Belly: If you can get underneath the Leviathan, its belly is also a weak spot.

Recommended Stratagems and Weapons

When it comes to taking down a Leviathan, you need to bring out the big guns. Here are some of the best stratagems and weapons to use:

• Rocket Launcher: A classic for a reason. A few well-placed rockets can make short work of a Leviathan.
• Recoilless Rifle: This is my personal favorite. It packs a serious punch and can take out a Leviathan's fins in just a few shots. I remember one time my buddy and I took down a Leviathan in seconds with a Recoilless Rifle and a well-timed reload.
• Eagle Strafing Run: If you can get the angle right, an Eagle Strafing Run can do a ton of damage to a Leviathan's spine.
• Orbital Railcannon Strike: This is a great way to deal a lot of damage to a Leviathan, but you need to be careful with your aim.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

You're not going to be able to take down a Leviathan on your own. You need to work with your squad to focus your fire on the weak spots and take it down quickly. Communication is key, so make sure you're talking to your teammates and calling out the Leviathan's position. And if things get too chaotic, make sure you know how to make Helldivers 2 run better to keep the frame rates up.
