The Impaler is a tough new enemy that was added as part of Helldivers 2's big Escalation of Freedom update. Those who played the first game might remember these tanky Terminids and the troublesome tentacles that they can summon out of the ground to flatten you. If anything, they're even trickier now since they knock you off your feet or yeet you for miles.
You've likely encountered one already if you're pushing to unlock the new Super Helldive difficulty but, if not, here's how to find one plus some strategies you can use to easily deal with it. If you haven't yet, you can grab the TR-40 Gold Eagle armor set early if you want some new fashion to celebrate the update, but otherwise, here's how to beat an Impaler.
