Spore Spewer

Spore Spewers are a Secondary Objective and tactical asset in Helldivers 2, which have a chance to appear in Medium or higher Difficulty Missions on Terminid Planets. Resembling large mushrooms, they present an environmental hazard to the Helldivers by constantly releasing thick clouds of spores into the air, greatly obscuring vision in a large area around it.
== Identifying==
The presence of Spore Spewers on the map is relatively easy to spot depending on the planet terrain. On planets with little to no high terrain or hills, they can be seen from almost any distance on the map due to them emitting a very notable glow that can be seen through the dense clouds. Regardless of terrain, a thick green fog lingering around the Helldivers is a surefire way to identify that a Spore Spewer is nearby.
== Strategy ==
On their own, Spore Spewers pose no more than a minor inconvenience to Helldivers, as their spores only obscure vision without dealing any kind of damage (akin to the Orbital Gas Strike Stratagem). Their threat level rises, however, when they are paired with large bug Patrols or positioned near critical objectives or bug Breaches. The reduced vision can, in those situations, often prove fatal to Helldivers, as it makes it far more difficult to spot priority enemies such as Chargers and camouflaged Stalkers before they have already closed distance. If a firefight breaks out near Spore Spewers, destroying them should be a priority.
Spore Spewers used to be quite fragile, and could be taken down with just a single explosive grenade; however recent changes to their biology has caused them to mutate and become far more dense, which in turn now requires Helldivers to destroy them with actual anti-structure weaponry, such as rockets or Eagle airstrikes, and even then it make take more than a few hits to take these down.
It should be noted that sometimes useful items such as Ammunition and Samples may spawn close or under the Spewer, therefore making it worth your while to check the destroyed stalk before moving on. Be cautious, as Terminids will be guarding the adjacent area.
