Beginner Leveling Terminid Build: An introduction to Democracy
Congratulations on making it through your Helldiver training, Super Earth is glad to have you! This well-balanced loadout covers all the bases when it comes to Terminids and is great for leveling up. The AR-23 Liberator is your standard issue Assault Rifle that is a great starting weapon with light armor penetrating capabilities.
Core Stratagems
Recoilless Rifle
Explosive Companion for heavier enemies:
- Brood Commanders and Chargers will die to 1 headshot
- Bile Titans can be taken out in 2 headshots
- Shrieker Nests and Spore Towers require two shots
- Takes out Bug Holes in 1 shot but it is recommended to save ammo for the tougher targets listed above
- Backpack holds 5 additional shots for a total of 6 shots when called in
- Ammo Boxes restore 1 rocket while Resupply boxes restore 3
Eagle Napalm Airstrike
- Drops explosive and incendiary shells in a straight line perpendicular to the direction it was thrown
- Unable to destroy structures so bringing another stratagem with this capability is highly recommended
Recommended Stratagems
Gatling Sentry
- Recommended to place down before pushing into Bug Nests or during swarms
- Great cover for smaller enemies while you focus larger enemies with other stratagems
- High DPS
- Fast locking and engagement
- Beware of friendly fire
Eagle Cluster Bomb
- Effective against small and medium targets
- Low chance to destroy Bug Holes
Orbital Airburst Strike
- Pro Tip: Throw one of these down on top of a bug breach as soon as you see it pop, it will essentially squash it
- Relatively short cooldown (2 minutes)
- Effective against small and medium targets
- Great for Destroying Broadcast Towers
