Terminid Enemy Changes

Decreased Health for Chargers

In the recent 1.000.102 patch update last March 12, 2024, the developers have decreased the health of the Charger's head. Players will find that a well-placed headshot with weapons like the Recoilless Rifle or EAT-17 will now instantly kill a Charger!

How to Kill Chargers

Reduced Spawn Rate of Chargers and Bile Titans

Also included in the 1.000.102 patch patch drop, the spawn rate of Chargers and Bile Titans has been significantly reduced in difficulties 7 and up (Suicide Mission to Helldive difficulty).

This addressed concerns from the community on the large amount of heavily armored Terminids present in their missions.

Avoid Triggering Bug Breaches

Bug Breaches will trigger when a patrol of Scavenger bugs spot you. One of the bugs will emit an orange cloud of smoke and a giant hole will emerge from the ground, summoning swarms of pesky bugs. You can prevent this by keeping out of sight of these patrols or calling in an airstrike on them to wipe them out before they see you.

Use Shotguns and Assault Rifles

Terminids will generally use melee attacks, so you'll also want to fight back with weapons effective at close-range combat such as Shotguns and Assault Rifles.

Shotguns are great at dealing exceptional damage at the cost of fire-rate, and are great to use against Terminids with high health. Assault Rifles on the other hand boast a fast firing rate, capable of eradicating low-leveled bugs in a short amount of time.

Marksman Rifles are not that recommended to use against these bugs as it only fires in semi-automatic mode, which isn't that viable when you're surrounded with a horde of Terminids.

Best Primary Weapons and Tier List

Stay on Top of Vantage Points

Since most Terminids are close-range fighters, you can stay on top of hills and rocks so they'll have a difficult time reaching you.

While they can still circle around and eventually catch up with you, this trick should still delay them, giving you ample time to kill them before they can get to you.
