I would like to bring to your attention that in your original post you said to not use infectors. I, on the other hand, have found that they are the most useful (and my personal favorite gun) when trying to take out the major hellbug arkfalls. They home in on targets and if you have one that spawns the little aliens with every shot, the little bugs do around 500+ damage to the matriarch-or whatever else they decide to attack (which can also be useful for crowd control with the elite warriors or archers). It seems they ignore the armor that the matriarch has that negates most other types of bullet damage. It also doesn't matter where you hit them with your shots, as the pods will spawn an alien frequently no matter what. It does obviously do a little more damage when you hit it in the crit spots, or if an alien jumps into one for you. I do have to bring attention to the fact that the shots themselves do around 1 damage per needle that hits, but so long as you are able to spawn the aliens (and you aren't unlucky enough for the useless slowing effect infector) everything should be fine.
