Devastators have three different variations.

Since Devastators are part of Helldivers 2’s Automatons faction, they can be found on planets on the left side of the map. Simply land on a planet occupied by bots and you should easily come across Devastators no matter the difficulty setting. Some locations you can check out are Mavelon Creek and Ubanea.

How to kill Devastators in Helldivers 2

The best way to kill Devastators in Helldivers 2 is by landing a precise headshot using weapons like the Railgun and Autocannon. Despite their intimidating appearance, Devastators are fairly brittle and you should be able to deal with them pretty easily.

These medium-sized bots come in two other variations. They include Heavy Devastators, who wield a large ballistic shield, and Rocket Devastators, who can unleash a barrage of rockets in your direction.

The method for taking out both variations remains the same as armor-piercing weapons like the Railgun will do the trick. But it would be wise to get out of the Rocket Devastator way as it can blow to you bits quickly.
