In Helldivers 2, players will fight against either the Terminid faction or Automaton faction. Although both factions threaten our way of life, players will need to know as much as they can when going against these enemies, as both factions differ in how they fight against players. Terminids are the bug faction of Helldivers 2. Most Terminids have melee attacks and try to swarm you. You'll need to ensure to kill them fast before you get overwhelmed by their advances. Automatons are the robot faction of Helldivers 2. Automatons have a mix of melee and ranged attacks with smaller weakspots, making this faction overall more difficult to deal with compared to Terminids.
Here you'll see enemies categorized by difficulty
| Terminf and Automaton Enemies | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Class | Difficulty | Fight Style | Examples (Terminid followed by Automaton) |
| Light | Easy | Swarms players, but individually deal low damage | Scavengers, Raiders |
| Medium | Normal | Travels with Light enemies and deals a little more damage | Warrior, Scout Strider |
| Heavy | Challenging | Large enemies that deal heavy damage | Charger, Hulk |
| Boss | Hard | Very large enemy that can one-shot players | Bile Titan, Tank |
For both factions, it's best that players keep their distance against enemies to avoid taking too much damage. For Heavy and Boss enemies, players should use their stratagems to take them out to minimize the danger they'll face.
