All Helldivers 2 enemies

Helldivers 2 gameplay

Terminids

The Terminids are the bugs you will likely encounter at the beginning of the game. They come in many forms, from smaller exploding bugs to large tank-like creatures that are pretty tough to take down. These insects plague the planets of Helldivers 2, and it’s your job to get rid of them – by any means necessary.

These are all Terminid enemies you’ll face in Helldivers 2:

  • Hunter
  • Warrior
  • Stalker
  • Scavenger
  • Nursing Spewer
  • Bile Spewer
  • Bile Titan
  • Charger
  • Brood Commander

Automatons

If you thought the Terminids were tough, then you’ve got a shock coming when you go up against the Automatons. After all, battling a chainsaw-wielding mech doesn’t look like a walk in the park. The Automatons are a new enemy type and can be extremely tricky to an unprepared squad, so take care around these enemies.

These are all the Automaton enemies in Helldivers 2:

  • Raider
  • Marauder
  • Berserker
  • Scout Strider
  • Devastator
  • Commissar
  • Hulk
  • Sentry Tower
