Pouncer
The Pouncer is a small Terminid that can use its wings to quickly approach Helldivers.
Spawning
Pouncers can be first found on Easy. They can spawn from Bug Breaches, within patrols, guarding Bug Nests and Objectives, or from Bug Holes.
Starting on Challenging, 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.
