Terminids resemble gigantic bug creatures with deadly adaptations and instincts. In contrast to Automatons, almost all terminids use their claws to inflict damage on helldivers, with a few exceptions in form of units that possess long-range attacks. As such, terminids will attempt to rapidly close distance and surround helldivers. That results in most battles being conducted at close range and requires helldivers to always try to gain distance from bugs. Close-range and crowd-control equipment will be the most effective against terminid faction.
