From Helldivers Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Pouncer is a small Terminid that can use its wings to quickly approach Helldivers.

Spawning

Pouncers can be first found on Easy Difficulty Icon.pngEasy. They can spawn from Bug Breaches, within patrols, guarding Bug Nests and Objectives, or from Bug Holes.

Starting on Challenging Difficulty Icon.pngChallenging, they can be found guarding Minor Places of Interest.

In certain spawn tables/constellations, Bile Spitters will replace Scavengers and Pouncers, and vice versa.

Behavior

Pouncers will use their wings to leap great distances directly towards Helldivers. They can occasionally undershoot or overshoot their leaps. When not leaping, they will approach Helldivers in as direct a path as possible, climbing over terrain and obstacles in an attempt to attack with their claws.

Pouncers are able to release a cloud of pheromones into the air that causes a Bug Breach.

Tactical Information

  • Due to their low health, Pouncers can easily be dispatched by any weapon.
    • The Guard Dog Rover and explosive weaponry can be effective against swarms of Pouncers or other small Terminids.
  • Pouncers should be prioritized over other small Terminids due to their ability to quickly leap into melee range.

* Parts with their HP listed as "Main" do not have their own individual health. All damage dealt to these parts is transferred to the enemy's Main health pool.
** Refer to armor values and enemy durability as defined in Damage.
*** The percentage of damage that is applied to the enemy's Main health pool. At 0 HP, the enemy dies. Unless the enemy has constitution, then it will bleedout and die.
**** ExDR means explosive damage resistance, this is a percentage between 0 and 100. If this value is 100%, the part is explosive immune, meaning explosives cannot damage it. Explosions will only directly damage Main health if it is internal.
