Encountering a Dragon Roach for the first time in Helldivers 2 is a somewhat scary experience, as a flying giant swoops down from the sky and incinerates the flesh from your bones with green fire. If you've ventured into any of the new cave missions destroying eggs or trying to nuke a spore lung, you'll have quickly realised that the Terminid hive worlds are no joke.
Still, the Dragon Roach isn't quite as fearsome as the Illuminate Leviathan from the Omens of Tyranny update. Despite it having some horrendously fiery AoEs, at least it isn't heavily armoured in the same way with only a few weak points. All that said, here are the best ways to kill a Dragon Roach if they're giving you trouble in the new update.
