Anywhere on body: 110mm rocket pods*, railcannon strike, orbital laser, orbital precision strike*, 2 x EAT, Arc Thrower (20+ to body), flamethrower, Spear, might be others

Headshots: Arc Thrower seems to kill a charger in about 10-12 shots if you can land it on their face. The lightning is somewhat more accurate and reliable at medium ranges, so get some distance.

Front leg and then shoot exposed flesh: EAT, Recoilless Rifle, Railgun on Unsafe mode (4 shots to break),

When paused after a charge**: autocannon to backside of front leg, laser cannon to backside of front leg, impact grenade to backside of front leg, probably many others

*These stratagems seem to be sticky for some reason and I've had good success attaching them to the chargers as they pass or after they've stopped.

**Some people seem to think that this strategy takes advantage of a hitbox bug where the charger's armor is temporarily reduced after their charge attack.
