How to Find Warriors in Helldivers 2

If you are on the hunt for Warriors in Helldivers 2, you will want to head to Terminid Space. These bugs are slightly bigger than most drones and have two pincers. They are usually grey and travel in packs. You will find them in missions that are medium difficulty or higher.

Warriors are pretty common in battles against the Terminids. If you attempt the Personal Order, you have to kill 35 of them to achieve victory. This can easily be done in a single mission. If you are ever unsure whether you have found Warriors or not, you can mark them and their name will appear.

How to Kill Warriors in Helldivers 2

Warriors don’t have that much health or any special abilities. They generally are a problem only when there is a lot of them. Keep your distance because if they swarm you, they can cause a lot of damage. The only notable aspect of the Warriors is that they can survive having their head shot off. While they only survive a few seconds, it is enough to kill you if you don’t expect it.

The best way of dealing with groups of Warriors is the Eagle Airstrike. They have decent armor on their backs so aim for their soft underbellies. The Breaker shotgun will take them down without any issue. Watch out for their pincers and blow their heads off. They will die after a few seconds. Any gun that has medium-armor penetration or explosive damage will do the trick.

That’s everything you need to know about finding and killing Warriors in Helldivers 2. If you manage to kill a Warrior with a shotgun within one meter you will gain the "Eat This" achievement. It’s our job to cleanse this galaxy of the bug infestation and every Terminid you terminate is one step closer to victory. Check out our other guides for Helldivers 2 below.
