Nursing Spewer
Faction	Terminids
Difficulty	3
Size	Moderately Large
Health	750

Nursing Spewers are medium-sized Terminids with light armor. They are easily identified via its yellow-orange-brown coloring. They appear on Terminid missions of Medium difficulty and above. Nursing Spewers constantly emit a low cloud of spores which can potentially hide smaller Terminids from view.

Hulking things with large faces and massive abdomens bursting with spore pods similar to the Spore Spewer, Nursing Spewers are known for their ability to puke out acidic bile onto the Helldivers. They are brown and orange in coloration, and are often seen alongside Scavengers. These bugs appear to be walking Spore Spewers, with the purpose of using their spore pods to spread Terminid fungal matter and plant eggs.

They are quite similar to their cousin, the Bile Spewer, as they have a very similar biology, though the Bile Spewer has a deadlier attack and more armor. This means that any tactics you know with the Bile Spewer will most likely work on the Nursing Spewer. Despite the Bile Spewer seeming to have more health, both the Bile Spewer and the Nursing Spewer have the same amount of health. Only their armor is different.

Tactics

• Nursing Spewers are similar to their green cousins, but their attacks track Helldivers a bit less quickly, and they have light armor (on the top of its torso, head and limbs) rather than medium.
  • In addition, they do not have the bile mortar mode that Bile Spewers gain on Extreme Mission difficulty and above.
  • A Nursing Spewer constantly emits a low-lying yellow fog that makes it easy to detect from a distance, but dangerous to leave alive in close-quarters. Killing the Spewer will quickly dissipate the fog.
• They are best killed by shooting their head, which is their weak spot. As they have light armor, every weapon will deal normal damage to it.
  • Durability wise, the Nursing Spewer takes about as much damage to the head as a Brood Commander to eliminate, around 16 shots from a standard AR-23 Liberator or 8 shots from a AR-23P Liberator Penetrator.
  • A single well-placed grenade near or under the Spewer will often one-shot or nearly kill it. The G-16 Impact grenade is especially effective, and can even kill 2 adjacent Spewers with a well-placed throw.
  • An RS-422 Railgun will kill with one headshot or two body shots, even in Safe mode.
  • The GL-21 Grenade Launcher will kill in two to three shells, and its explosions have a wide area of effect which can prove effective against swarms of Spewers.
  • The APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle will kill with a single shot to the head.
  • The SG-8S Slugger can kill with 2 headshots, but body shots are significantly less effective. Fortunately, the Slugger's stagger effect will interrupt a Nursing Spewer's attack, making it easy prey for repeated headshots.
  • It is recommended to shoot their head with shotguns like the SG-225 Breaker or the SG-8S Slugger this will quickly dispatch of any Nursing Spewer and the Slugger's stagger ability can stop the Nursing Spewer from using its attack.
  • If there is a large group of Nursing Spewers approaching it is recommended to try to land an orbital strike on one, this will instantly kill it and cause it to explode, damaging nearby Nursing Spewer as well, also causing them to explode, this will set of a chain reaction and kill a large portion of the Nursing Spewers.
• These bugs have an abdomen filled with acidic bile and spore pods, and it will explode if shot at, even after they're dead. Watch where you're firing to avoid a melty death.
