Trying to kill Chargers is one of Helldivers 2‘s more significant challenges on higher levels. You need the right gear or Stratagems if you want to crack open these large armoured bugs, and if you don’t have them equipped, well, you’ve got to do things the hard way. It wouldn’t be so bad if your squad was only dealing with a Charger, but they often spawn with lots of smaller enemies, and it’s a challenge to cope with both at once.
Luckily, there are some surefire methods if you prepare yourself and your Stratagems beforehand. You’re likely here because of the daily mission requiring you to kill three Chargers—with this list of strategies you should easily be able to defeat a few so you can get those medals.
