Best weapons for Terminids in Helldivers 2

There are tons of weapons to try out in Helldivers 2, and some feel like they were made for Teminid battles. Due to this, there are a few weapons that could be ideal for your Terminid run:

• AR-23P Liberator Penetrator (Assault Rifle)
• P-19 Redeemer (Pistol)
• SG-225 Breaker (Shotgun)
• SMG-37 Defender (Submachine Gun)

However, while there are a few ideal choices, we recommend using the AR-23P Liberator Penetrator and the P-19 Redeemer. The Assault Rifle is fantastically powerful and will give you more than enough bullets to take down one of the bigger bugs or multiple smaller ones. Then, the P-19 Redeemer is the best pistol in the game, so it’s always worth having that in your loadout.

Best armor for Terminids in Helldivers 2

Ultimately, it’s up to you which armor you go for, as each will give you different bonuses. However, we recommend opting for medium or light armor.

If you choose medium armor, the best you can get will be the DP-40 Hero of the Federation. Alternatively, if you choose light armor it’s best to find one that has the Engineering Kit passive, so you can hold a few more grenades to shut the bug holes.

Best Stratagems for Terminids in Helldivers 2

Stratagems are a perfect way to take down a swarm of bugs, and you look pretty cool doing it too, so it’s a win-win. Nevertheless, here are the best Statagems to use for a Terminid build

1. Eagle Napalm Airstrike
2. Mortar Sentry
3. “Guard Dog” Rover
4. Orbital Precision Strike

It has a wide range, deals tons of damage to the bugs, leaves the planet smoldering, and will easily become one of your favorite Stratagems to use.

It doesn’t matter if you’re fighting solo, or with groups of people, having an extra shooter will always be welcome. That’s where the Morate Sentry comes in. It’s an ideal secondary attacker and will help you save a few bullets for the tougher enemies, while your Sentry gets rid of any pesky bugs that slip your grasp.

If one extra shooter isn’t enough, then the Guard Dog Rover should be your next choice. It essentially acts like a second player and bodyguard at the same time, keeping your back covered and taking down any Terminids you need to get rid of. Once you unlock this Stratagem, it’s a no-brainer.

While many may think the Orbital Precision Strike is a lower-level Stratagem, it’s one of those explosives that has an easy code, quick reload, and plenty of explosive satisfaction to boot. Sure, it’s not as powerful as the Napalm, but with unlimited use and easy codes, you can rain devastation down with no issues whatsoever.
