I seriously hate fire tornadoes in Helldivers 2! I can’t even count the number of times my wife and I died because a fire tornado landed directly on a terminal that we were interacting with. It’s tough; sometimes, these natural disasters deal enough damage to kill you in a single hit. Here’s how to handle a fire tornado in Helldivers 2!
How to Deal With a Fire Tornado in Helldivers 2
Watch your surroundings when you receive the ‘Fire Tornado Warning’ on your HUD. Sometimes, a fire tornado will spawn far away but then make its way to you. Other times, however, a group of fire tornadoes spawns beside your objective. They always move toward you.
The best way to deal with a fire tornado is to run away. You can’t fight a tornado, not even with an Eagle 500kg Bomb, so don’t attempt to shoot one. There’s no health bar. We tried.
Just keep on the move, watch your surroundings, and don’t get caught in a corner. If a fire tornado strikes you, or you stumble into the flames it leaves behind, it’s usually an insta-kill.
