Warrior (Helldivers 2)

The Warrior is the second step in evolution from a Scavenger that can appear on any difficulty; with their next evolution being into a Brood Commander.

Moving at a moderate pace, their only means of attack are their razor sharp claws.

Tactics

 * Hit them on the soft spots underneath them or directly in the face. Alternatively, use shotguns or armor-piercing weapons to take their heads off with ease. When they come in groups, use Eagle strikes or anti-tank weaponry to blow up groups of them all at once.


 * The Breaker shotgun is also recommended for taking them out in one hit.


 * A lesser-known ability that this warrior bug has is to crawl underground and appear behind a helldiver for a surprise attack. This can be performed regardless of the terrain a Helldiver is standing on.


 * It's weak spots are the legs. However, "blowing off a limb it will remain 86% combat effective", so aim to break two legs. Aiming for the head is also an effective strategy, however this will put the body into berserk mode for several seconds before dying. In berserker mode, it has increased attack speed and slightly increased movement.
 * It is advised to gain distance from a warrior before destroying its head.
