COMPLETE Guide to Terminid HUNTING. Strategy and Weaknesses of EVERY Terminid in Helldivers 2

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So in

today's video, I'm going to be showing you

the weak spots and the most efficient and

best ways of taking down basically every

single Terminid bug enemy in Helldivers 2.

So we're going to start off with the

Armored Chargers because they are probably

the most annoying enemies to have to fight

in the game, and there's quite a lot of

them. You'll find yourself fighting

against these massive armored tanks quite

often, and if you don't have the right

weaponry or the right tactics, they do

start to become a bit of a pain up the

backside. So easily one of the best

weapons to use against the Armored

Chargers has to be the railgun, and the

weak point is in their legs, usually their

front 2 legs. For some reason, shooting at

their front 2 legs is much more efficient

than just shooting them in the head. So 2

shots from the railgun on the front leg

will crack the armor of their legs and

expose that orange fleshy goo color,

which you can then shoot at with basically

any weapon. I like to do 2 shots with the

railgun to the front legs, and then I'd

run in there with the shotgun to shoot at

the unprotected leg, and that usually

finishes them off. A few shots from a

shotgun or SMG will usually blow it

straight off, or you can do a 3rd shot

with the railgun and just blow the leg

straight clean off, and that kills them as

well. So just wait for them to start

charging at you. They usually do this

little animation where they start

charging, and they do little incremental

turns where each leg goes up and then

comes back down. You want to time it so

that when the leg comes down, you shoot at

it so you don't miss the railgun shot.

And don't bother shooting the big fat bum,

even though that does seem like a massive

weak spot. It's much better and faster to

choose the legs to shoot at, and I choose

the front 2 legs because if you shoot the

back legs, when they rotate around to face

you again, the back legs are now going to

be obscured from view, and the 2 front

legs are always going to be rotating

towards you. So that's the easiest target.

They also bleed, so if you do a lot of

damage to them with an explosive weapon,

then they usually bleed out after a few

seconds if you don't get a second shot in.

They have 2 attacks. They have one really

long wind-up charge attack where they'll

just come sprinting at you. This is pretty

easy to avoid. You just have to— you just

have to dive sideways or just sprint

sideways to sprint around them. And they

do this second attack where they kind of

go up on 2 legs and then slam down with

their front legs. Now you've got to be

careful with this because it can actually

one-shot you. So as you can see in this

clip, I crack the front leg armor with the

railgun, and then I switch to my Breaker

shotgun and I just finish him off, and he

goes down pretty quickly. You also have to

watch out for his back legs because they

can kick you and do damage. Other weapons

are also quite good at killing them. For

example, the recoilless rifle can one-shot

crack open the defensive armor on their

legs, and then you can finish them off

with your normal weapon. Problem with the

recoilless rifle is it does have very long

recharge reload time, and if you miss the

first shot or the first shot wasn't enough

to crack the armor, then you probably

won't have enough time to reload again

before they start charging at you, unless

they glitch out and they just stand there

staring at you, which sometimes they do

just kind of glitch out and they stand

there, which lets you just get an easy

shot off. I also tested out the expendable

anti-tank missile, and this is pretty good

as well. It can one-shot the armor off the

front leg and also do some internal

need to be reloaded, and it's got a very

short cooldown time of just 1 minute. So

Expendable Anti-Tank Mine, very good

against the Chargers as well. You don't

have to keep firing multiple shots into

the front legs like you do with the

Railgun. So I don't know, it's kind of up

to you. If you prefer just one-shotting

their armor with a hefty missile launcher,

then the Recoilless Rifle and the

Expendable Anti-Tank— and also the Spear

is pretty good as well if you can get a

lock-on You can usually 2-shot kill it.

One shot will usually just knock off its

armor and give it some bleeding, but the

reload time is just really long on this

rocket launcher. And also the lock-on

thing is kind of fiddly. For example, at

point-blank range like that, you can't

really lock onto it. The missile just goes

around it and misses it completely. But

you can do some pretty good damage with

the spear if you hit it in the right

place. The problem is you don't have

manual targeting So you're kind of relying

on luck for the auto-lock system to

actually hit the right place. I also tried

the Arc Thrower, the lightning chain

weapon, and this was not very good. Even

on this bugged-out Charger, it takes many,

many shots to even start damaging it. It

does go through its armor without needing

to crack the armor, so it's got like

armor-penetrating traits, or it just

ignores armor, but it took so many shots

to kill it. It felt like it was taking

forever, so I wouldn't recommend the Arc

Thrower, especially if it was not bugged

and was actually charging at you. You

wouldn't really have enough time to stand

there and charge this up 10, 12 times.

Okay, next let's talk about the Bile

Titan, probably one of the toughest

enemies in the game. I quite like using

the Spear Missile Launcher against it.

I've even one-shot killed these if the

spear auto-locks and hits it straight on

the head. Problem with the spear is very

long reload time, and also the

auto-locking thing means you can't really

manually aim where you're going to hit the

Bile Titan. But for example, here I

managed to one-shot kill this Bile Titan

using the spear because the spear rocket

managed to hit it right in the face. So

watch this little clip.

See that? Basically one shot and it spasms

out. And then I targeted this second Bile

Titan, and I think I actually one-shot

this one as well with the spear missile

launcher.

So yeah, that went down pretty easily,

just one shot. So I think the spear rocket

launcher is pretty good against the Bile

Titans, especially if they're far away. I

don't know why people insist on using the

railgun against the Bile Titan because it

took like 4 shots to the head, maybe 5 if

you're unlucky with the aiming, to

actually kill one of these Bile Titans.

So it's like 5 shots with the railgun or

just 1 shot with the spear. Sometimes it

doesn't 1-shot it. For example, if you hit

the Bile Titan in the side with the spear,

it will just blow off its armor, but then

a second shot should finish it off pretty

easily. I also tried the expendable

anti-tank missile launcher, but even if

you hit it in the face it won't one-shot

it. So you'll need multiple expendable

anti-tank missile launchers, maybe 2 or

maybe even 3. So I don't think this does

as much damage as the Spear. You see, I

just did 2 rockets to the face and this

thing is still standing. The recoilless

rifle is also not that great. I did 2 hits

with the recoilless rifle, one in the face

as well, and it still was standing. So I

don't recommend the anti-tank missile

launcher or the recoilless rifle. They

have very long reload times and they just

don't do as much damage as the spear. So I

recommend the spear, and then second, the

railgun is probably better than the

anti-tank or the recoilless rifle. So

here's some footage of me headshotting it

with the railgun. It took 2 shots,

3 shots, I think the 4th shot I got its

head off. There. 4th shot in the head

blows its head straight off. I think you

can one-shot it if you aim it in the mouth

as it's vomiting, but I've never been

lucky enough to do that. So those are the

2 enemies that will be giving you the most

problems. The Bile Titan and the Armored

Chargers are really the only 2 enemies you

need tactics against. All the other

enemies are basically pretty easy to kill.

You've got these Bile Spewers. They come

in 2 forms, the green one and the orange

one. The green ones are armored, have head

armor and back armor. But they're really

easy to kill with just one impact grenade.

And also same for the orange Bile Spewer,

one impact grenade usually kills them, or

just a headshot because they don't have

armor. And then basically all the other

enemies, the small ones, the Brood

Commanders, the Walkers, the Stalkers,

you just shoot them in the head. Or if

they don't go down with a headshot, even

after a headshot, then shoot for their

legs so they can't keep walking at you.

Sometimes the Walkers, they go down faster

if you shoot them in the legs. They all

basically have the same weak point, which

is their head or their legs. Just shoot

their head and legs and they go down. The

little bugs, they just get one-shot. The

little baby ball spewers as well, they

look like little tiny bugs with green

backs, and they'll just shoot these very

low damage green bolts at you. They just

take one-shot, shoot it anywhere. It

doesn't really require any special

weapons. They all go down with the primary

weapon or the secondary weapons. Don't

need like a special railgun or missile

launcher, so I don't really feel the need

to really go on and on about the other

enemies. The only 2 interesting ones are

the Bile Titans and Armored Chargers

because they're the only ones that really

pose some kind of challenge. You know,

these little flappy ear ones that jump at

you, they're really annoying as well

because they've got really rapid attacks

and they can just kind of spam attack you,

and trying to reload whilst this is

whacking your backside is kind of

annoying, so it's best to just switch to

secondary weapon or just sprint away a

little bit to try and reload or throw a

grenade and jump out of the way. So

they're pretty annoying as well. And

basically, yeah, just shoot everything

else in the head or the legs. You also got

those armored walkers, they kind of hunker

down if you keep spraying them. Just shoot

in between the gaps in between the neck

and legs and you can usually get them in a

couple shots, or just throw a grenade.

Grenades usually sort everything out.

You've got these pretty big things called

Brood Commanders, and they're slightly

armored, so certain weapons don't do that

much damage. And if you do a headshot and

take its head off, it will still keep

coming at you. So after you've done a

headshot, recommend taking out its legs so

it doesn't charge at you so quickly.

Liberty, save me!
