Bile Spewer

"'Bile Spewers appeared following unavoidable spills of toxic chemicals on Terminid E-710 farms. The Bile Spewer's abdomen is bloated with several metric tons of corrosive acids, which it vomits in revulsion upon encountering Democracy.'"

The Bile Spewer is a moderately armored, medium-sized Terminid that can appear on Medium difficulty and higher. They appear to be a mature Bile Spitter with an enlarged abdomen.

Bile Spewers spit streams of highly corrosive acid called "Bile", which can slow down and can prove fatal to a Helldiver if they are exposed to a full stream. Diving out of the way when it rears its head for this attack is advised.

Super Earth propaganda claims that certain Terminids produce this Bile due to the exposure to the toxic runoff E-710 farms, but many believe that this strain of Terminids is the result of Super Earth genetically altering the Terminids to produce more E-710.

On Extreme difficulty and higher, Bile Spewers gain the ability to fire a volley of bile into the air, similar to a mortar. This greatly increases the Bile Spewer's range and lethality.

Tactics

 * Appear on planets with bug missions from Medium level onwards. They are sometimes assigned their own special quest. They'll constantly spit bile at any Helldivers they target and it can hit from long range.
 * Armor wise, the front legs, spine and head of the Bile Spewer is protected via medium armor, while the side of its torso is completely unarmored, and its hind legs are only protected with light armor. This makes light armor penetrating weapons rather ineffective against Bile Spewers unless shot in their mouth as they are about to launch their bile attack.
 * Shooting at the Spewer’s torso with conventional ballistics is ill advised as it can slack up an impressive amount of bullets. Using explosive weaponry is preferable for body shots, while conventional ballistics should be used to target their heads.
 * A rather effective primary weapon against the Bile Spewer is the Slugger, as not only does it penetrates the bug’s armor, but it can also stagger the bug to disrupt its deadly bile spew.
 * A single well placed grenade near or under the Spewer will often one shot or nearly kill them. The rail gun will instant kill with one headshot or two fully charged body shots. The grenade launcher and Autocannon will kill in two to three rounds and any other Spewer near the AOE.

Nursing Spewer
This variation of the Bile Spewer is believed to be either sub-adult of the Bile Spewer or a gravid female with abdomens bursting with eggs, easily identified via its yellow-orange coloring.
