The Bile Titan is Helldivers 2‘s version of “hey, what if that bug was the size of a building and also hated you personally?” This acid-spewing Terminid tank is slow but terrifying, shrugging off most attacks unless you know exactly where to hit. It’s bile spray melts squads faster than you can shout “STRATAGEM INCOMING,” and don’t even think about getting too close—its stomps are instant death with zero remorse. If you’re not packing heavy anti-tank gear or orbital backup, congrats: you’re bug food.
But what if we told you that some Helldivers out there aren’t just surviving these nightmare fuel encounters—they’re launching them? That’s right. A growing group of Helldivers 2 players has taken it upon themselves to explore the aerodynamics of the Bile Titan, turning this overgrown murder-bug into temporary airborne cargo. It sounds ridiculous (because it is), but the community has lovingly dubbed it the “Flying Bile Titan”—a feat that should be physically impossible considering the size of this acid-blasting colossus.
So, how exactly does one get a skyscraper-sized Terminid airborne? It’s not like the Bile Titan comes with wings—or mercy. Turns out, the key ingredients are good timing, heavy explosives, and just a little bit of Helldivers 2 madness.
Helldivers 2 players are discovering that a combination of orbital strikes, well-placed mines, and explosive stratagems—particularly the Eagle 500kg Bomb or the Orbital Railcannon—can launch a Bile Titan straight into the sky if triggered just as it’s moving or preparing to attack. The result? A glorious, liberty-fueled launch that sends this armored tank-bug spiraling like a discount UFO.
It’s not a guaranteed effect, and most of the time you’ll just get a pile of goo (and maybe a squad wipe), but when it works? It’s a thing of beauty. Add in a few ragdoll physics quirks, and you’ve got footage worthy of its own Helldivers nature documentary.
Didn’t know a Bile Titan could fly that far

While the Bile Titan was designed to be a terrifying miniboss, the Helldivers 2 community has—unsurprisingly—found a way to turn it into a meme. You can now find clips of Flying Bile Titans all over social media, Reddit, and Discord, usually accompanied by confused screams, disbelief, and the occasional “WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!”
Some players are even setting personal challenges, doing their democratic best to become one of those who have sent the largest known Termanid to outer space. It’s become a rite of passage—kill it, yes, but yeet it? Now you’re elite.
Honestly, should be a built-in achievement if you ask us!
