Helldivers 2 Hulks are Automaton Bosses and one of the most dangerous foes that players are likely to come across in Bot territory. Covered in thick armor, players will to work their way around it, either by using explosives, or by using any of theHelldivers 2 armor piercingweapons that the game has to offer. It’s also worth keeping in mind that there’s various types of Hulk, like the flamethrower-wielding Hulk Scorcher or the melee-focused Hulk Bruiser - but they all have the same weakness, a vent in their back, between their shoulders. Still, getting to that point isn’t easy, especially for individual players - so I’ll lay out the best way to kill Hulks in Helldivers 2 below.

Admittedly, all this is easier said than done, especially considering that hitting the Hulk from behind is hard to do when their default behaviour is to march towards you. It’s much easier to have two players to lure them around, otherwise you can use sentries, static fields and quick dives to slow them down and hold their attention.
Admittedly, this is still risky - Hulks are much more dangerous in close range, no matter their form, and if you don’t want to fight them your best hope is to keep far away and ideally with some cover. If you’re fighting them in a Bot Base with a target structure, maybe try calling in a Hellbomb and using that to wipe them out?
