So, if you’re wondering how you can kill Bile Spewers in the game, and where to find them, we’ve got you covered.
Bile Spewers locations
In Helldivers 2, Bile Spewers appear in any Terminid-occupied territory from ‘Medium’ to higher levels of difficulty. To spot them easily, check the left side of the map.
To secure an encounter with these creatures, you can play a Terminid Eradication mission, which becomes available at ‘Hard’ difficulty (level 5).
How to kill Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2
Every bug has a weak spot, and in this case, that weak spot can be either the head or the giant green glowing abdomen. To hit those, you’re best off aiming carefully from a distance or heading behind it.
Alternatively, there’s always the option to just send in some explosives and blow it to smithereens, but that’s up to you.
Keep in mind that even though they have reduced mobility, they can rear back to spew their acid to corrode your armor or they can explode if you shoot their green parts, dealing heavy damage if you’re close enough.

What are Bile Spewers in Helldivers 2?
Bile Spewers are moderately armored, large, and slow bugs with huge green glowing abdomens filled with acid.
They have an orange variation known as the Nursing Spewer, which is believed to be the female version that instead of acid, carries eggs in its abdomen.
These orange Bile Spewers are easier to beat, as they are less armored and have a shorter attack range.
