Overview
Light armor is the only viable endgame choice due to glitched armor ratings, making medium and heavy armor detrimental because they merely penalize movement speed.
Combining the green Medic light armor with the Trailblazer Scout helmet produces an optimized build reaching 538 speed, carrying six stims, and extending healing duration by two seconds, which Daniel finds superior to extra grenades or detection passives.
Terminid gameplay tests highlight weapon handling, including frustration with the Dominator shotgun relative to the Breaker shotgun, technical glitches such as stretched ragdoll corpses and update-related bugs, and stability comparisons to frame rate and waypoint issues in Starfield.
