The brainless Scavenger is the lowliest of Terminids. Upon encountering an agent of Liberty, it emits a piercing scream that attracts nearby bugs in a reflexive attempt to destroy Freedom.

The Scavenger is the weakest and most common of the Terminids that can be found on all difficulties.

They usually appear in swarms of other Scavengers, Pouncers, and Bile Spitters.

Tactical Information

• Due to their low health, Scavengers can easily be dispatched by any weapon.
• When encountering a patrol or group of Terminids, it is recommended to kill Scavengers quickly before one can cause a Bug Breach.
• A lonely scavenger can be very easy to eliminate, however they can be really dangerous when in swarms.
  • Using the Guard Dog or explosives is effective against swarms of Scavengers.
• Individual Scavengers can be safely killed with a single melee attack to the head, which conserves ammunition.

Behavior

• Scavengers are mostly mindless. They will approach Helldivers in as direct path as possible, climbing over terrain and obstacles in an attempt to attack with their claws.
• Scavengers are able to release a cloud of pheromones into the air that causes a Bug Breach.
