Helldivers 2 Devastators: How to find and kill a Devastator
radiotimes.comDevastators are one of the many scourges of the Helldivers universe — however, finding them can be a little tricky if you don't know where to look.
As part of the Automaton forces, Devastators are found on planets controlled by bots.
These mech-like robots slowly walk across the battlefield wielding deadly weapons and explosives, so stopping them fast is key in the Helldivers' never-ending quest for peace.
More importantly, these robots often appear across your Daily Personal Order, with up to 15 needing to be defeated to earn XP and Medals. That can be a lot to deal with in a short space of time.
So, that's where this guide comes in. Everything you need to know about how to track down Devasators and take them out can be found below.
Devastators can be found in all bot missions across all difficulties, so that's Trivial to Helldive and everything in between.
The higher the difficulty, the more chance of encountering one sooner. Specifically, the Severin Sector on the right-hand side of the galaxy map are the best places to start.
We recommend Planet Defense missions as they feature heavy Automaton forces and increase the output of Devastators.
Generally, it can be quite difficult to keep an eye out for the robots on the battlefield, so try to spot the cog that sits behind a Devastator's head. That's a good way of identifying them quickly.

Devastators come in three different variations: Armcannon (standard), Heavy (machine guns and shields) and Rocket (shoulder-mounted rocket launchers).
Thankfully, the best way to defeat each is by simply aiming for their heads. It's a small target for a reason, so penetrative weapons are hugely effective.
Shooting the back of a Heavy Devastator will make the unit explode, so that's worth taking advantage of.
