Hulks are a serious threat to you for several reasons, namely firepower and heavy armour. As a result, you will simply be wasting ammo that is incapable of causing serious damage while they fire at you. However, to kill Hulks, you only need to attack a weak point or use a powerful weapon.

Attack Hulks’ weak point

Despite the apparent defence, the Hulks have a weak spot. There is a small heat vent on their back that absorbs your bullets very well. However, this method requires well-coordinated teamwork. Part of the team should trigger Hulk on themselves, while the other will deal damage to the back. But of course, this does not mean that it will be easy, since Hulk will not be alone on the battlefield, and you will have to fight with other automatons at the same time.

Use Stratagems

Stratagems are an important part of your weaponry, as they can offer a large variety of weapons and other useful equipment. And when it comes to killing Hulks in Helldivers 2, there's nothing better than a trusty Railgun. This Stratagem is the best weapon to penetrate the heavy armour of these large Automatons. Alternatively, you can Orbital Strikes, as they are also quite effective against Hulks.

That's all you need to know about how to kill Hulks in Helldivers 2. These enemies are quite challenging, but with the right strategy, you can defeat them without any problems.
