Bile Spewer

The Bile Spewer is a moderately armored and sized Terminid that can appear on Medium difficulty and higher. They appear to be the adult form and third of its fourth evolutionary periods following the Bile Spitter and Nursing Spewer, followed by the Bile Titan.
Bile Spewers spit streams of highly corrosive acid called "Bile", which can slow down Helldivers and be extremely fatal if exposed to enough acid. 
Super Earth propaganda claims that certain Terminids produce this Bile due to the exposure to the toxic runoff E-710 farms, but many believe that this strain of Terminids is the result of Super Earth genetically altering the Terminids to produce more E-710.
On Extreme difficulty and higher, Bile Spewers gain the ability to fire a mortar-like volley of bile into the air, increasing the Bile Spewer's range and lethality.
== Notes ==
* They appear on Medium difficulty and higher. (Most commonly / easily found on HARD difficulty, 15 minute 'Defend Area' missions)
* Their head and abdomen area consist of medium armor while its hind legs are only protected with light armor. This makes light armor penetrating weapons rather ineffective against Bile Spewers unless shot in their mouth as they are about to launch their bile attack.
* Shooting at the Spewer’s abdomen with conventional ballistics is ill advised as it can soak up an impressive amount of bullets. Using explosive weaponry is preferable for body shots, while conventional ballistics should be used to target their heads.
* A single well placed grenade near or under the Spewer will often one shot or nearly kill them. The rail gun will instant kill with one headshot or two fully charged body shots. The Grenade Launcher and Autocannon will kill in two to three rounds and any other Spewer near the AOE.
== Tactics ==
* Impact Grenades will instantly kill them. 
* A well placed grenade will kill them too, but cooking them might allow you to be spewed on.
* If you don't have impact grenades, you can dive when they're spewing, then finish them off with relative ease using your support weapon.
* Their head is their real weak spot, not their bile-filled body. (The bile sack is a good weak spot too though, especially for explosives)
* You might need a primary weapon with Medium Armor Penetration to shoot their head's weak-spot.
* Their main body will explode when it receives enough damage, even when the Bile Spewer is deceased. It does a considerable amount of damage in an area around it, both to Helldivers and other Terminids.
== Variations ==
=== Nursing Spewer ===
This variation of the Bile Spewer is believed to either be a sub-adult of the Bile Spewer, or a gravid female with abdomens bursting with eggs, easily identified via its yellow-orange coloring.
== Patch Notes ==
* As of version 1.000.200 (April 2nd 2024), the SG-8S Slugger no longer staggers them. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4204746659280937639#:~:text=Slugger%3A%20reduced%20stagger.
