| Terminids | How To Defeat |
| Scavengers | Scavengers are the basic infantry of Terminids and can easily be taken down but if not taken seriously they can spread out and the results can be devasting. With the less health bar and the armor, these can be killed easily with the help of any basic weapons or shotgun. Kill them whenever you face them to refrain them from not getting into the bulk pool. |
| Hunters | These are slightly larger and faster than the Scavengers with the ability to avoid your fires. Keep yourself safe from their claws and shoot them on their heads or use explosives to eliminate them. |
| Warriors | Warriors are more armored and have more health bar than Scavengers which you can take down using the shotgun. Getting into the range of their claws can be dangerous. |
| Stalker | Stalkers are fragile bugs that can hide themselves and have the ability to grow and spread. You can know their location using the smoke grenades and eliminate their nests from being spread. Keep yourself safe from the range of their claws. |
| Bile Spewer | Bile Spewers are giant, bulky green abdomen bugs that are highly armored but vulnerable from their back. They spit the acid if, in range, it can kill you. Use the perfect timings to dodge its acid attack and eliminate them afterward with the headshot or the less greeny part of its abdomen. |
| Brood Commander | Brood Commanders are also giant armored bugs that are not much faster but their strength is that they can direct other Terminids to attack you. These are not as dangerous if they are standalone but you need to wipe them out quickly using stratagems before getting them accompanied by other enemies. |
| Charger | Chargers are the heavily armored giant bugs that rush toward you to take you down. They are one of the most challenging Terminids. They can only attack one person at a time so one of your teammates can distract while the other one attacks on the yellow patches on them. Use Stratagems or other heavy weaponry to eliminate them with your strategy. |
| Bile Titan | Bile Titans are highly destructive insects with the ability to throw out the stream of bile on you.
