Comprehensive Guide to Hunting Leviathans Just Dropped

Hell hath no fury like a Helldiver whose ride got blown up by a flying apartment complex. One particularly motivated member of Super Earth’s finest decided that “just ignore the Leviathans” wasn’t cutting it anymore.

Their solution? Write what might be the most thorough enemy breakdown in Helldivers 2 history. We’re talking mathematical precision, damage calculations, and enough technical detail to make High Command proud.

And now that we think about it, calling this guide “comprehensive” feels like calling managed democracy “slightly organized.” This thing is a masterpiece of vengeful documentation.

When ignoring giant flying death machines isn’t an option

The Helldivers 2 community’s been split on Leviathan tactics since the Heart of Democracy update dropped these Illuminate behemoths into Super Earth’s cities. Half the subreddit insists you should just run away and let them pass. The other half has been getting repeatedly demolished while trying to fight back.

Enter our anonymous hero, armed with spreadsheets and righteous fury. Their guide breaks down everything from the Leviathan’s 15,000 HP pool to optimal Anti-Tank Emplacement positioning. They’ve calculated damage overflow mechanics, debunked community myths, and provided weapon-by-weapon effectiveness ratings:

The guide (click the embed above to read the full thing) reveals some eye-opening truths. Those “three weak spots” everyone talks about? Only one actually exists. The front circle isn’t special—it’s still AP5 armor like everything else. And that Orbital Cannon everyone swears by? Takes 2-3 shots minimum, not the mythical one-shot kill.

Most importantly, they’ve proven that ignoring these things isn’t always possible. Leviathans actively target generators on defense missions and spawn directly behind objectives. When one of these flying fortresses decides your missile silo needs to disappear, running isn’t an option.

The author even added a postscript about mechs:

Even the big guns have their limitations against these Illuminate monsters.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with fellow Helldivers finally getting the technical breakdown they needed. The guide’s mathematical approach resonates with players tired of guesswork and urban legends about weak points:

But not everyone’s thrilled about the current state of, well, aerial support. Some divers have pointed out the obvious elephant in the room—or rather, the Eagle circling overhead. The sarcasm cuts deep because it highlights a genuine concern. Eagle-1 can level entire outposts, but apparently draws the line at apartment-sized alien warships.

Eagle-1’s refusal to elaborate has become a running joke, but it also represents a real gameplay limitation. Players are left wondering why their air support ignores the biggest threats on the battlefield.

High Command must have their reasons, though questioning military decisions is a fast track to a re-education camp.

The guide’s impact extends beyond pure tactics. It’s created a movement of players who refuse to accept “just run away” as a viable strategy. When liberty is on the line, sometimes you have to stand and fight—even against flying fortresses.
