Helldivers 2 - The BEST Loadout For New Terminid Predator Bugs! Best Bug Loadout - Blitzer Build! (2025)

S-TIER WEAPON COMBOS FOR NEW TERMINIDS: ruclips.net/video/tsSATeAm_lQ/video.html

This is my loadout, gas dog, quasar, Blitzer, napalm barrage, 500kg, gas nades, nade pistol, engineer armor

This is a nice loadout for max level characters with all of the warbonds to build it. But for everyone else I’ll offer some tips as these new predators will get the best players out there.
1. Dial down the difficulty to match your player level - I can barely keep myself alive let alone carry a bunch of low level players
2. Play as a squad, don’t split up, you need constant firepower to watch each other’s backs
3. Shoot your guns, shots down range, pull the trigger!!!
4. Objective focused, don’t stop moving and move immediately. Having to wait for teammates is a death sentence
If you follow these tips you won’t need the meta loadout and use the guns you like

The Stalwart/MG43 and the Breaker shotguns have never felt more useful. The Concussive Liberator too.

I found that Blitzer trick by complete accident. I was tired of my system going automatically into FPS view when I tried to aim with the blitzer, so I just stopped aiming and low and behold, I started going Palpatine on the bugs.

Awesome tips and loadout! For me I sometimes instead run the Arc Thrower if my team already has anti Bile Titans and Chargers weapons equipped. Its still super good especially at stunning the new bugs.

Light armor: 20% ammo+ reload speed.
Weapons: Breaker incendiary(good for clearing smaller and air units), grenade pistol for holes, thermite for chargers and impalers.
Stratagems: napalm barrage, gas strike, machine gun, Gatling sentry. Stim booster.
I easily can hold my own solo and can rack up some 500 kills a mission. I always recommend dropping napalm on bug breaches or large bug hives.

Hell yeah Blitzer Brother!
I have been running Dog Breath + Blitzer as well on these Predator bois and it is indeed my own personal meta.
I actually deviate slightly by bringing two sentries instead of red stratagems to keep the battlefield under control, as long as my teammates have the big booms covered :)

Airburst is underrated

Very nice video mate! Helped much

I've been rocking the Cookout, GP and Gas Grenades, using Urban Light armour for extra speed and lightning reloads, combined with Jetpack and quasar. Then I bring 500 and gas strike for taking big bugs/objectives/holes and horde control/breach negation respectively. It's quite a fun build but you are very squishy, so rocket-boosting away when things get dicey is often the name of the game XD Perfect for hoarding samples and seeking out POIs :D

The Ultimatum was already an ammo-starved secondary in it's initial release. Now I don't think it's worth carrying anymore. You can hardly ever shoot it.
Most folks will get a lot more use out of the grenade pistol.

These new bugs got the Night Lords colour scheme!

I find the cookout useful in this scenario. Packs a fair punch wont smash through ammo, damage over time and really smashes the preds at close range. Critically it will syth shriekers out of the sky. Whilst love the blitzer the srikers are always an issue. Taking them out at range whilst they are bunched up is a peice of cake with the cookout...in my opinion. Give it a go! Oh amd it knocks back/stuns the stuff on the ground....as per the blitzer

Aiming with the ops. Keep in mind which direction the destroyer is in low orbit

Good video 👍

Thanks brother, this will be useful since we all need to shift from the Illuminates and Bots fronts to help Bug divers. But no matter the loadouts, like you said. Comms and teamwork makes the combat 50% easier. I never get those guys that go on their own Rambo missions and "fu*cks" the balance... Cheers 😉

This would be a good time to enter silenced weapons and stealth air attacks

I use the killzone colaboration armor, its nice to have 50% in acid fire etc on this cases

Keep on keeping on

Io ve been running the cookout, grenade pistol gas grenade.
Grenade armor, strafing run, guard dog, railgun, auto cannon sentry. Lots of crowd control.

The halt is also great for these guys

I rock the 500kg, auto cannon turret, Gatling turret, wasp or airburst I’m in love with the adjudicator and ultimatum or grenade pistol. Did a lot of super helldive without dying with this load out.
Oh and I use the golden eagle armor.

My current build for bugs: blitzer, grenade pistol, incendiary impact, strafing run, napalm barrage, laser guard dog, commando. I go with light armor for speed it’s so worth it. Super helldive difficulty.
The stun from the blitzer is really what changes the game always keeping the swarm at a distance while your guard dog lights them up. Strafing run great for crowd control. Commando great for heavies and such a lighting fast cooldown it’s always there when you need it. Even with the new predator bugs I still solo around the map without dying

my loadout :
- Concussive
- Gas Guard dog
- Grenade Pistol/Stim Pistol(support)
- Quasar
- Gatling Barrage
- Gas Strike
- Gas Grenade
- Stim Armor
- Boosters : Vitality/Stamina minimum

Gas and fire pair very well

i prefer cookout since it has a faster fire rate than blitzer

I really would like to give this video a thumbs up but my algorithm tends to overload my feed as soon as I like anything.

Light machine gun on max fps is good against all stalkers brood, flametrower with dog breath is good combination(flame and poison damage stacks also).Gas granades save me many times. Helgast armour is a good choice is you combine gas and flame weapons and protect you from acid bugs too...

Fire, fire everywhere!

I havent ever switched off of my medic medium piece since i got it in the store when i first started playing. It was just too op to have 2 more seconds of health regen plus infinite stam during that

Mr. PaseShifter, we've missed you.

Arc thrower for me cause longer range and can stun all bugs except bile titans and impalers..but run the gas rover as well then i use the tesla and rocket launcher...these destroy bug breaches gives ultimate "crowd control"...

I have been running 500kg, orbital cluster, wasp, then the anti armour turret.

I would say take guard dog rover over the gas dog if taking blitzer. Laser deals with shriekers which blitzer somewhat struggles with and there’s enough gas damage over time if you bring gas grenades, you need to be setting them on fire with the laser to utilise all types of damage whilst stunning them. Extra tip for spewers, stun with blitzer and run around them so the laser dog aims at their butt.

I take blitzer, thermite, Hmg emplacement, anti tank emplacement, and gas dog.
No need to run when you exterminate everything with so much ammo

This is a crowd control powerhouse loadout.

I'll have to try this with the med kid passive

Tbh, just bring an Arc Thrower. You can single handedly vaporize entire hordes of these assholes indefinitely with the Arc Thrower if you get mildly ok at positioning. Be ready to kill you teammates too. If they are close enough to these bugs to get hit by the Thrower, they were already dead :')

Tbh I love the constitutions rifle for them. It 1 shots/hits with melee warriors, scavangers, and hunters (normal and predator) then it’s increased melee range allows you to hit hunters jumping at you and stun hunters before they hit you. The melee also kills bile spewers and brood guards fairly well. Then combined with the stalwart guns down the predators and brood commanders. Then thermites for tanks and the grenade pistol for holes and bile spewers

for me the Gatling barrage never kills anything

Similar to mine but strangely i found i was dying more with medkit than acclimated. Im using impact incendiaries though.

Thats the build i told pipz yesterday lol its op

remember, don't believe a highlight reel

Quaser cannon, only 2 on your team, one diver brings EATs and the other commando

Although this was my build since my first contact with the New Mutated Bugs, I run heavy armor. I find it more survivable when flanked by 3-4 of them at once.
My struggle is the choice between Secondary options:
- Ultimatum for 1 tap Biles/Impailers/Chargers // You cannot clear Bug Hole Nests yourself
- Grenade Launcher for Clearing Bug Hole Nests // 1 Less option vs Biles/Impailers/Chargers
Croissant Cannon is king, but you cannot always focus the weak point amidst the chaos of the Bug Battles.

Guard dog is better than lazer guard dog, by far

Crowd control…dude I was like what the hell is CC? Close quarters is spelled with a “q,” Cubic centimeter? Haha

I don’t need faction guide I need drip guides

I bring the orb napalm with the 500

So they were updated overnight?

Bro I seriously hate these new bugs. It’s just ridiculous trying to fight 12 of them 3 chargers. 2 bike titans and all the minions. The game is unplayable at times.
