In this part of the video, the presenter discusses a recent patch update for Hell Divers 2, which includes significant changes to the game’s meta, with buffs and nerfs that have rendered previous strategies and build guides obsolete. As a result, the presenter has tested the new changes and developed new strategies to effectively combat the game’s enemies. The video is now divided into two parts, with the current segment focusing on the Terminats. The presenter outlines strategies to deal with various types of Terminats, starting from the easiest to the hardest. Key advice includes staying spatially aware to avoid being overwhelmed by scavengers and using weak weapons for small enemies to save powerful ammunition for tougher foes. The presenter emphasizes that while tactics for smaller threats remain unchanged, there have been notable adjustments for medium and large enemies, necessitating new approaches for effective gameplay.

In this part of the video, the focus shifts to more powerful enemy types after dealing with easier ones. The nursing spewer, described as a weaker variant of the bile spewer, has the same health but lower attack strength, shorter attack duration, and less effective tracking. The strategy suggested is to target the head for quicker kills rather than the egg sack, and to avoid their bile attack by dodging.
Next, the brood commanders are discussed. They are comparable to the warriors but are faster, stronger, and have more health. The strategy involves targeting the legs to disable their movement, but another faster method is to shoot the head if confident in avoiding their sprint.
Lastly, the hive guards, who protect nests, are introduced. They have significant armor on their head and front legs, making them tough to kill unless using armor-piercing weapons. Without such weapons, getting close is recommended to bypass their defensive posture.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides tactical advice on dealing with various enemy types in a game. For armored enemies, aiming for the neck or using a shotgun at close range is recommended to stun them and break their defensive stance. The speaker also issues a public service announcement about Friendly Fire affecting enemies.
The segment then lists the top five most challenging enemies, focusing on the ‘Hunter,’ a particularly difficult and agile opponent. The speaker describes two variants of Hunters: the weaker baby Hunters known as Pouncers and the more dangerous adult Hunters with an orange hue. The adult Hunters are noted for their ability to evade shots by jumping and their frightening AI that anticipates player attacks.
To combat adult Hunters, quick-firing weapons are advised, and in close combat, the melee attack can stun them briefly. The flamethrower, especially after a recent buff that increased its damage by 50%, is highlighted as an effective but risky option because it can also harm the player if the burning Hunters jump at them.
Transitioning to an even tougher enemy, the speaker mentions the ‘Stalker,’ a faster and more fearsome relative of the Hunter that appears in specific missions.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on dealing with powerful enemy types, specifically the stalker and the bile spewer. The stalker is highlighted as extremely dangerous due to its ability to become invisible and outrun players even at sprinting speeds. The recommended strategy for handling stalkers includes utilizing spores and smoke grenades to make them visible and using powerful weapons like rail guns or machine guns to eliminate them quickly. Additionally, it is advised to track and destroy stalker layers to prevent further stalker spawns.
The bile spewer is described as a more dangerous version of the nursing spewer, with higher damage and wider attack range. The strategy for dealing with bile spewers remains consistent: aim for the head, dodge to the side, and ideally engage from range using grenade launchers for effective area damage. It’s crucial to manage bile spewers strategically, especially in swarms, to avoid chaos and harm to the team.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the focus is on the strategies for dealing with two formidable enemies: the Charger and the Bile Titan. For the Charger, it is essential to target the unarmored rear or shoot off the armor from its front legs to expose vulnerable flesh that takes bonus damage. The recoilless rifle, improved flamethrower, and the eagle air strike are recommended for effectively stripping the armor and dealing significant damage.
When addressing the Bile Titan, it is noted that these enemies are highly resistant to damage. The strategy involves targeting the giant sacks underneath the Bile Titan to inflict substantial damage. High-powered weapons like the rail cannon, orbital strike, or the 500 kg bomb are necessary to eliminate them. Support weapons such as the expendable anti-tank, recoilless rifle, and spear are mentioned as powerful options against the Bile Titan, though they may not kill instantly.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for dealing with biot Titans, mentioning the spear as a viable option despite needing a buff. The autocannon Sentry is highlighted as effective, especially when fully upgraded with ship modules, to fight the biot Titans. The speaker also suggests always having a team member equipped with a 500 kg bomb or an orbital rail cannon for quick elimination of these enemies. Lastly, the speaker teases the next video, which will cover bots and mention how the recent patch buffs, especially the laser cannon, are highly effective against them.
