Helldivers 2: everything you need to know about Hunters and how to deal with them (in depth guide)

'Njoy
My OBS is giving me several issues lately whenever i try to record so apologies if some of the audio sounds messed up or if there are sudden cuts in the clips, i'm trying to look into a solution.

Hunters are so frustrating because they, alongside their older Stalker cousin, are the only Enemy in helldivers that actively dodges and flanks you. they have excellent AI. unlike every other enemy.

I have something I've been curious about (if this isn't of interest then no worries). But, I was wondering what units (specifically terminids, since i think automatons are pretty obvious in this regard) are worth breaking parts off. I don't mean headshots, but are any units significantly hampered by de-legging or in some other way hurting them? I know the BT can't vomit with a tail break (or stomach break? Not sure), and the charger can't do it's full charge if it's weakpoint is blown, but I was wondering if there were any other significant uses for it. I ask because half the time when I break the leg off a brood commander or a warrior it hinders me because its movements quickly become unpredictable so I have a harder time aiming and it doesn't seem all that much slower.

I'll respond here since it's much quicker
if it's a brood commander, shooting the legs is very useful to lower its healthpoints since all weapons will deal full damage, i usually shoot it with guns that hurt a lot like shotguns or LMGs. Same happens with the back legs of a HiveGuard, though most times it isn't really worth it, as for warriors, just focus the head or the main body, shooting the legs off won't make much difference. One thing i noticed though is that shooting the legs off of Hunters will force them into a limping state and will also prevent them from pouncing, literally just cripples them. Stalkers can't lose their legs (i wish tho) and spewers can but it's honestly just faster to kill them rather than removing their legs since the game will spawn SO MANY of them when they're in the pool.
