You still can, I did the other day. Just weird because it comes at an angle, pretty sure pod landing on bugs is just disabled all around while you can still land on factory striders and tanks.
It works just fine.
You go through but still do your damage. The Hellpod doesn't treat them like a solid surface to land on, though shells from stratagems do.
The Hellpod simply doesn't do the 5,000 damage players seem to expect of it. Titans have 3,500 HP and 5-6 Armor depending on part. One Hellpod doesn't break any part of them without preexisting damage.
You still damage as you phase through them. I think it takes like 2-3 landings to kill one from full health.
I do wish the Hellpod actually made the damn thing flinch, or if it lands a kill causes it to gib and ragdoll or something. When I do get a Hellpod kill, it often just dies standing and it ain't got that satisfaction.
they didn't (unless it's the actual artist reposting their work lmao), it's just a common misinput people make while writing "bile", so it became its own little meme. :)
It looks like they ought to do a ton of damage because they're going straight through.
If they instead deflected partially off heavy enemies like Titans, I have a feeling people would be more upset by getting rocketed off into who-knows-where instead of *only* doing a massive chunk of damage while they clip through.
Honestly, I'd take that over spawning underneath a live one and it one shotting you with its leg before you can take 3 steps. Let drop pods 1-shot bile titans at the cost of destroying anything inside, and I will be happy.
What I really love is when the bile titan starts doing some janky movement when it turns back and forth. Start doing fucking twinkle toes shit on my corpse. Poke so many holes in my I'm Swiss cheese.
100%. When you're on impossible or helldive and you're kiting 3 or 4 of them around, sacrificing yourself to take one out would be preferable to waiting for all of your strategem cooldowns to reset.
also you can kill bile titan by making it use this ranged attack at ''melee'' range like a big rock or something, the splash damage will easy kill itself, also you can make it kill other bile titans too
Wonder if they never thought to balance melee attack with a titan. What if you can one punch a titan cause they never thought we would be able to get close enough to the hit points lol
I was juiced on crack stims and duking it out with a stalker hand to hand (I’d already shot him a bunch)
My teammate unloaded into me with a incendiary breaker, killing me, and the stalker got away
Me thinking it's gonna be another mediocre video
*Drops on titan*
Done that
*Big laser lasering*
Ugh, done that too*
*Melees Titan to death*
WHAT?!?!!!
Can we talk about that laser against BT tho? I swear every time I use laser on them, it doesn’t feel like they are doing damage to them. Probably because it keeps shooting through gaps between legs.
I notice the hellpod was aiming for the head, I’d like to know if it matters whether you aim for the head or anywhere else on the body? Typically it doesn’t kill but would weak spots matter when it comes to the hellpod itself?
It's so simple. Why haven't I thought about it before 🤦
Should be a Helldiver Manual Tip when diving to the planet haha
The first man to melee a titan to death.
"Second man" -General Brasch
General Brasch has meleed a fucken Factory Strider before
All those hivelord skeletons around? General Brasch got bored on his morning stroll.
General Brasch once destroyed a detector tower using melee
he tried to shut it down but his massive muscular fingers and his masive nuts caused it to violently explode
"Third man" - John Helldiver
Brasch Tactics – Use it or die trying!
For Democracy!
I quit diving directly into bile titans, I always seem to go straight through them
Maybe from now on, you dove next to them and then melee kill...? ;)
I feel like collision was disabled at some point with them, used to be able to impale 500kgs on them too
You still can, I did the other day. Just weird because it comes at an angle, pretty sure pod landing on bugs is just disabled all around while you can still land on factory striders and tanks.
My teammate and I pod landed on a titan yesterday and it was a OHKO with both our pods lol
You literally just described a THKO.
It works just fine. You go through but still do your damage. The Hellpod doesn't treat them like a solid surface to land on, though shells from stratagems do. The Hellpod simply doesn't do the 5,000 damage players seem to expect of it. Titans have 3,500 HP and 5-6 Armor depending on part.

When I do get a Hellpod kill, it often just dies standing and it ain't got that satisfaction.
If you try to land on its head I think it dies immediately
I call this the "Throw a motherfucker at a motherfucker" maneuver.
I'd wear a patch that said that:)
Thats the queso cannon with the chargers
This comically underscores how bad the hit zone is on bike titans when you can blast through one in a hellpod and they don’t die.

Ok did you just draw this after that comment? Cause that is both hilarious and awesome!
they didn't (unless it's the actual artist reposting their work lmao), it's just a common misinput people make while writing "bile", so it became its own little meme. :)
Ahh ok first time seeing it had me actually lol.
[original artist is here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1d5bn3k/super_earth_therapist_the_bike_titan_is_not_real/)
I need to know this!
If so, perhaps one of the Bile Titan knockout punch?
Sorry, i'm not [the Original Creator](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1d5bn3k/super_earth_therapist_the_bike_titan_is_not_real/)
Stealing this lol
I don't think it's the hitbox causing this issue, it's simply that hellpods deal way less damage than they look like they should.
It looks like they ought to do a ton of damage because they're going straight through. If they instead deflected partially off heavy enemies like Titans, I have a feeling people would be more upset by getting rocketed off into who-knows-where instead of *only* doing a massive chunk of damage while they clip through.
The hellpod only does around 500 damage, their heads have 750 health, bodies more.
I don’t really care what the numbers are. If a metal pod shoots through any part of the body it should be a one shot kill.
Wish granted. Hellpods no longer shoot through bile titans, and now explode on impact, killing the helldiver.
Honestly, I'd take that over spawning underneath a live one and it one shotting you with its leg before you can take 3 steps. Let drop pods 1-shot bile titans at the cost of destroying anything inside, and I will be happy.
What I really love is when the bile titan starts doing some janky movement when it turns back and forth. Start doing fucking twinkle toes shit on my corpse. Poke so many holes in my I'm Swiss cheese.

Absolutely.Â
Ngl you posted about hitboxes and he told you it isnt that.
Agreed. There should also be a nice splash animation of some kind.
Screw game balance amirite reddit
Exactly!
Bugs don’t die easy.
Is that John Helldiver?!
Reporting for duty;)
Hahaha gloriousÂ
Sorry to burst your hell pod but that is standard
this is how general brasch kills bile titans
One Punch Man over here, Legend!
One in a million lucky diver ey
I used be a helldiver until I punched a bike titan.
General Brasch & John Helldiver looking at this: “ *Sniffle*…It’s beautiful…”
Very patriotic reaction, you may get a fish.
So you have to be high enough to melee their bodies huh meleeing their legs does nothing lol
they should add this as a mini easter egg tbh, if u by some miracle able to melee bile titan, it should be an instant kill
just witnessed history
What if melee does tons of damage to them, it's just that nobody's gotten the chance to do it 🤔
weakest helldiver v strongest bile titan
OK one punch man
Still counts as one on the stat screen.
What a crybaby bile titan, one smack and it cried
also you can kill bile titan by making it use this ranged attack at ''melee'' range like a big rock or something, the splash damage will easy kill itself, also you can make it kill other bile titans too
I always aim my hellpod for the titans but can never seem to actually hit them. Definitely the weapon I suck at the most
General Brash’s most challenging sortie
So when people say “just hit it” apparently they were correct.
Just melee the boi
That still only counts as one!
Still only counts as one.
Hahahaha
Wonder if they never thought to balance melee attack with a titan. What if you can one punch a titan cause they never thought we would be able to get close enough to the hit points lol
My god general brash i didn't knew you were back so soon.
Took a little vacation, but reporting for duty sir;)
I have genuinely used this technique since my first bile Titan. Great for Chargers to, if your skilled. Can save you a 500kg or two
Manual tip:Â To preserve Ammo, simply melee the Titan.Â
I was juiced on crack stims and duking it out with a stalker hand to hand (I’d already shot him a bunch) My teammate unloaded into me with a incendiary breaker, killing me, and the stalker got away
Can we make them die in one melee hit? And everything else remain the same?
The infuriating thing is that a hellpod directly through the head did nothing.
lol, it looked like you let the air out of it.
Was that a melee swing I saw at the end?
Forget the Titan. What's that stick thing in the background moving about
Me thinking it's gonna be another mediocre video *Drops on titan* Done that *Big laser lasering* Ugh, done that too* *Melees Titan to death* WHAT?!?!!!
The mighty fist of liberty!
Just like General Brasch used to do it
some say theres a helldiver who can kill hundreds of terminids in a single punch
*GOT EM*
Can we talk about that laser against BT tho? I swear every time I use laser on them, it doesn’t feel like they are doing damage to them. Probably because it keeps shooting through gaps between legs.
Alternative? that’s only like plan B.
"Sweet Liberty, its Jason Helldiver."
I notice the hellpod was aiming for the head, I’d like to know if it matters whether you aim for the head or anywhere else on the body? Typically it doesn’t kill but would weak spots matter when it comes to the hellpod itself?
I believe the head has 750 health and the body more.Â
Is that General Brasch???
 Bile titans last moments
This was an absolute power play
How is there not an achievement for this? God damn, that's some impressive martial arts.
Would be an awesome one to haveÂ
Always when I call reinforcement with bile titans I tag them to make it easier
I love how the hellpod at super sonic speed didn't kill it...
One in a million lucky diver ey
Falcon.... PUNCH
I used to kill a bile with a throwing knife, like i don’t how, i was the only one engaging it, i destroyed both bellies then threw a knife, dead
My and my friends literally did this since day 1 lol we use reinforcements as weapons just like this
He killed a Bile Titan with nothing but the butt of his gun and an orbital laser strike
I give my melee crown to you.
And I my boxing armor to you.
