After weeks spent getting flattened by Chargers, a new Helldivers 2 patch makes a change that "should" let you insta-kill them

Helldivers 2's latest patch has made what could be significant changes to the pesky, democracy-blocking Chargers.

Arrowhead Games Studios has unleashed yet another patch for Helldivers 2. While the tweet below touts the patch as mainly altering enemy spawn rates and adding UI fixes, the changes to the Chargers, in particular, could quietly have the biggest impact on the wider game.

In short, the Chargers' health is being reduced, but only on their heads. Arrowhead writes that while it hasn't reduced the health of their legs, it has knocked down the hit points of their heads to the point where a single well-placed shot from a Recoilless Rifle or an EAT-17 instantly kills them.
