Hulks

Hulk Bruiser

The Hulk is 5 tons of steel, guns, and unfettered anger, brainlessly optimized to do nothing except deliver heavy firepower by using their enormous weight and sturdy armor to crush anything unlucky enough to be in their path to paste. The so-called 'Maglio's densely armoured body is resistant to most small-arms fire. Anti-Tank stratagems generously granted from the Ministry of Defense may be utilized to dispatch the monstrous orbs of fascist circuitry. Fortunately for us, a flaw in their design means their reactor vents are vulnerable to even small arms fire. Owing to the large, freedom-hating reactors needed to power such a despotic machine, all variants of Hulk will explode violently upon destruction. "Bruiser" sub-types typically sport a laser machine gun and rocket launcher and will attempt to slowly close in as it fires.

• Despite its imposing appearance and heavy firepower to boot, it is by no means invincible. Chiefly, the destruction of its eye also destroys its CPU, spelling its demise.

• Hulks are remarkably blind compared to other Automatons, use this to your advantage in planning out ambushes or for plotting the use of stratagems against them.

Hulk Scorcher

Some Hulk variants, by their own design, desire, or both, take on a more destructive and close combat role on the battlefield. Classified by the Ministry of Defense as the "Scorcher" sub-type, these fearsome brutes are designed to crush defenses with its gigantic buzzsaw and industrial-sized flamethrower. Its berserk programming compels it to run down any hapless foe, uncaring of its own survival. Luckily for us, they appear to have no additional armour, so any tactics that worked before will work here flawlessly.

• Scorchers can cover a shocking amount of ground for their size, the Ministry of Defense recommends destroying them with heavy weaponry as soon as one encounters a Hulk Scorcher

• Hulk Scorchers are programmed to be extremely aggressive, a smart Helldiver can use this lack of intellect to their advantage in luring them into well prepared ambushes.
