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 and sized Terminid that can appear on Medium difficulty and higher. They appear to be a the adult form and third of its fourth evolutionary periods following the Bile Spitter and Nursing Spewer, followed by the Bile Titan.

Bile Spewers spit streams of highly corrosive acid called "Bile", which can slow down Helldivers and be extremely fatal if exposed to enough acid.

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 mortar-like volley of bile into the air, increasing the Bile Spewer's range and lethality.

Tactics

 * Impact Grenades will instantly kill them.
 * Most grenades will also kill them too, but they can miss sometimes, and cooking them will usually cause you to get spewed on.
 * If you don't have impact grenades, you can dive when they're spewing then finish them off with relative ease using your support weapon. You can also still rely on cooked grenades if you throw them well.
 * Their head is their real weak spot, not their bile-filled body. (Not that the bile sack isn't a good weak spot too)
 * You might need a primary weapon with Medium Armor Penetration to shoot their head weak-spot.
 * Their main body will explode when it receives enough damage, even when the Bile Spewer is deceased. It does a considerable amount of damage in an area around it, both to Helldivers and other Terminids.

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.

Patch Notes

 * As of version 1.000.200 (April 2nd 2024), the SG-8S Slugger no longer staggers them.
