“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.
— Helldivers 2 PlayStation Store Page
The Scavenger is the weakest and most common of the Terminids, using its claws to attack Helldivers at close range.
Spawning
Scavengers can be found on all difficulties, spawning 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.
Behavior
Scavengers will simply approach Helldivers, climbing over terrain and obstacles in an attempt to attack with their claws.
Rarely, and when a Helldiver is out of its reach, it will dig underground, then simultaneously emerge and attack the Helldiver.
Scavengers are able to release a cloud of pheromones into the air that causes a Bug Breach.
Tactical Information
- Due to their low health, Scavengers can easily be dispatched by any weapon.
- Individual Scavengers can be safely killed with a single melee attack to the head, which conserves ammunition.
- When encountering a patrol or group of Terminids, it is recommended to kill Scavengers quickly before one can cause a Bug Breach.
- The AX/LAS-5 "Guard Dog" Rover and explosive weaponry can be effective against swarms of Scavengers or other small Terminids.
