Who’s The Better Bug? Terminids or Glyphids

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- The main bugs in Helldivers 2, The Terminids, are a terrifying group of enemies to fight. But the developers of Helldivers 2 did a fantastic job of making them a great enemy to fight. They took inspiration from many different bugs in different franchises. But, I think one of the main source of inspiration is Deep Rock Galactic.
Today, I compare and contrast all the details of the Glyphids and the Terminids.

As a 5’ 5” person I can confirm we are all dwarfs and we work for Deep Rock
Rock and stone!
ROCK AND STONE
I am not a Dwarf its just very fun
we fight for rock n stone!
i’ll be honest brother, drg haz5 did not get me ready for the real bug hell in helldivers
@Vogelgangg try modded on Lethal difficulty it's goes from LETHAL to INSANELY LETHAL
Edit: Sorry, I tend to forget that difficult 5 is LETHAL
😃😃😃
Did you know:
As part of a recent change (likely Omens of Tyranny), the Radar Station was renamed to the LIDAR Station and the E-710 pumps were renamed to the oil pumps
Factory Striders count towards the Main Objective of Blitz missions
Eagle 1 can get damaged by Automaton AA if called in too close and will automatically return to the Super Destroyer to repair and will also refill your Eagle Stratagems
Does anyone know why E-710 was renamed?
@nikitaKarkavin E-710 is basically this universes oil
if you put it backwards, it'll be 017-E, and the digits look a lot like the word oil.
@smugesque okay but why was it renamed from e710 to oil?
@@h2o848 i don't know, maybe it's just easier to say

The bile charger and spitters DO explode. Hell I’ve died to it
Bile chargers have died me to death so many times from full heath
I hate it
Also bile warriors and bile spewers
I was about to say I’m pretty sure the spitters and spewers explode. Harmful to you and the nearby bugs. Area of effect weapons like the arc blitzer decimate spewing bugs because when they explode it causes a chain reaction of exploding bugs
Man I can’t stop thinking of the potential a drg and hd2 collab can have.
Just imagine killing terminids with the thunderhead with the mortar rounds or the plasma cutter or even having the epc as the secondary.
Drg can probably even become it’s own warbond alone
Support weapon- breach cutter (no backpack)
Primary weapon- loki rifle (lock on one)
Secondary weapon- zucuv pistols (two handed, can be used as one)
Armor passive- 'colonist's resilience' , 50% less slowdown effects (any source, stacks with muscle enhancement)
Title- hard worker
Honorable mentions- m1000, thunderhead, fat boy
Probably could have DRG as a new Super Earth corporation to sponsor the war effort! Kinda like how they did with Stål Arms for Killzone.
Not the thunderhead, we already have an autocannon
The top 3 i want in the game are the lead storm, LOK-1 and the breach cutter
Other than that the sludge pump and cryo cannon would be cool and a pocket railgun coilgun would be awesome
@@nimifisch.6134
That armor passive would be atrocious
So thats probably what it will end up being
I believe the main dev of DRG semi-recently went to visit and hang out with arrowhead to talk and share knowledge on each of their games in hopes of potential collabs between them since both games are passionately loved by their devs/community and they are both similar to each other. So a future DRG x HD2 collab is definitely still a possibility.
In DRG, exoloders can chain kill eachother. Imagine how satisfying it would be to pop 1 bug and get 30 kills from AOE on super helldive
Technically actually you can, bile spewers and spore chargers both will explode acid in a small radius, so if a bunch are low near eachother and you shoot one the rest usually die then chain react
@@cringejoestar9791another tip to maximise dopamine injection: bring grenade launcher to ICBM missions(very high chance of getting spewer seed)
Surprised that glyphid stingtails, swarmers, and septic spreaders werent mentioned at all, along with brood nexuses being basically bug holes.
Bro I'd love to see an animation of the Terminids being sent on Hoxxes, with the impalers making holes in the ground and the glyphid protecting their home, along with the other insects living there to take out this invasive bug species
Priority alert: the Hoxxes system is under attack
There are already Terminids that explode when they die... So it would make sense if they added a bug that explodes on purpose, as horrifying as that seems!
Banelings from starcraft 2 ptsd
@greatgatorgaming6024 man it's been a while since I've heard someone mention StarCraft. Hell ya
@@cameronmurrell-byrd7738 I grew up on Sc2 so naturally when I started Hd2 and saw the bile spewers, i thought “big banelings?”
So that one charger variant?
There might be a counterpart to the warden in HD2. The brood commanders and the alpha commanders. While they don’t power up other bugs, they do summon more bugs quickly when alerted, and the alphas summon souped up warriors.
The warden also has a summon bug ability, for that matter
And has an AI where it can choose to run away from incoming damage if it wants
0:15 wrong.
Dude SO many people right?
Yup. Helldivers came out before deep rock. It’s the other way around if anything.
I think you missed what he said. He's a "bug" guy.
@@Darkwater1886 he’s a disgrace to democracy
Bugs commit multiple acts of genocide against Mormon Separatists for the crime of settling on a planet they didn't know the Bugs had already claimed. The Bugs didn't try to communicate with or resettle the colonists, they just slaughtered them.
Then, because the Mormons are human, they launch a genocidal meteor strike towards Earth, attacking an unrelated party and wiping out an entire South American city.
And internet intellectuals - typically ones who claim to be progressive - declare the Bugs as innocent victims.
Did these people watch a different movie to the rest of us?
There is a bile version of the warrior that dos exsplode on death.
Yeah , same with Charger
In drg the exploder does it on purpose, walks up to u like a creeper and comits suicide
This is the kind of content ive subbed for
i think the crassus detonater armored itself with gold so it has a better chance of reaching its target intact, there are some bugs irl that eat minerals like iron or whatnot and their body moves that mineral into their shell or carapace to harden it, obviously at their size we dont notice cause were a million times bigger but the principle of it is their then the explosion creates entense heat that liquifies the gold and the shock wave throws said golden goo all over the cave then it cools and hardens into a minable gold. a real life example of this may be that in "shaped charges" theres a copper cone, the explosion liquifies the copper and turns it into a beam of molten metal that burns through armor like a lazer. but thats because the shaped and design causes it to focus into a beam, whereas the natural armor of the crassus has no such shape and would just go everywhere
Not to be the "erm actshually☝️🤓" guy, but actually funnily enough the terminids are by majority eyeless or effectively no eyes(vestigial eyes that are covered by carapace or something) with the notable exception of hunter caste terminids, ie. Leapers, hunters, shriekers, and stalkers.
Even to mention that Terminids and Glyphids can not only just use pheromones but also vocal sounds. Glyphids even make alot of sound too even when not fighting, indicating that they use echo location to see.
@viper0vendalmy794 mhm, loads of chittering and clicking from em, except technically chargers who do more like stomps and roars but alas, the attention to detail with enemies is honestly rad
Hold on, the bugs in starship troopers destroyed an entire city at least in the movie. They had a justification for war
It would be cool if a rarer version of bile spewer that inside it's big bile sack, are super earth civilians and KIA helldivers with an ammo pack, stims, anything like that would be awesome to have. It'd only spawn from challenging difficulty or suicide difficulty and up just to reward helldivers who do those harder missions.
you forgot that the stalker in drg disables shields and will become enraged when pinged lol
Mam the glyphyds can be like literal a sub race of terminids if the deep rock galactic was on same universe xd
We already have exploders in Helldivers 2, all bile variant enemies including bile warriors and spore chargers, explode upon death.
We do need a crossover for these 2 awesome games
There are some termenids that really do explode. But just on death. Or does small damage in an aoe when it takes damage. 🤔
10:38 Maybe a large bug, inbetween a charger and an impaler that roams the battlefields eating bodies, minerals, and weapons for some strategie the bugs are trying. Like the nids from 40k trying to get tougher minerals or metals into their DNA so they can further resist the call of freedom
Imagaine if ther was a helldivers equivalent to the unknown horror, which if you didn't know, its basically a invincible walking nuclear bomb that follows you everywhere.
12:01 I would say, yes and no, the Oppressor is deliberately an anti-bunkering enemy, with it’s ability to create shockwaves, be literally impenetrable from the front, and , most of all, it can dig, and crack a bunker wide open
Doesn't matter what type of bugs, I see bugs, I squish.
Man, if I had the Thunderhead with the mortar rounds on a Super Helldive, I would be one happy Helldiver.
Rock and stone i am proud of you miner
I would have compared the spitter to the glyphid spreader as it looks similar and launches lingering artillery sludge. It's a tougher bug that can't be headshot but has a massive weak point.
Another comparison would have been the menace as it is also a larger spitting variant that uses the caves to its advantage to quickly move around and ambush the dwarves.
The oily bastards terrify me. I mean, glyphids are all different, but they all look similar. BUT TELL ME, HOW ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH A CHARGER, ALPHA COMMANDER, STALKER, SHRIEKER AND BILE TITANS CAN BE BROTHERS
More like cousins, they seem to be of different ‘casts’. Like the warrior, brood commander, and hive guard all have the same long body and flat head because they’re the soldiers. A lot of them also just look like bigger versions of smaller bugs, implying they have stages to their life cycle, like a charger is just a big armoured scavenger if you look at the side by side, or how bile spitters (the bile scavenger variant) is a tiny bile spewer, and the bile spewer has all the features of a titan, just in different proportions, implying that titans are just very old spitters that grew an insane amount. You can see this in some other sets of bugs as well like the hunter and the stalker
@just-josh4107 what I mean Is those can share a MOM and DAD (presuming they riproduce sexually) and look like NEITHER and all be different.
There is actually a theory that whilst the glyphids are not directly controlled by a hive mind, since the planet of Hokses 4 is sentient, it tells the bugs where to go by creating vibrations
7:18 Swarmers in DRG are a far better comparison to the scavengers and as someone who has extensively played both games, swarmers are much deadlier than scavengers due to their tiny size and ability to jump
So much chip damage from those little bastards
need to make a humongous enemy that explodes into a bunch of rare and super samples. obviously make it super hard to beat if it rewards a lot
Don’t forget that the glyphid warden can also call reinforcements
Slight correction on the arachnid part! Arachnids have two major body segments, spiders have the body and abdomen, scorpions have the body and tail, Glyphids differ from this by having a moveable head, which arachnids lack, that isn't fused to the rest of the chitin around where ther head connects to their body.
Hope I didn't come off a little harsh, I just like arachnids
Also, consider that ALL Dreadnoughts are NOT fully grown! We are intentionally sent in to interrupt their gestation/metamorphosis. DRG, has no idea what would happen if a Dreadnought were to fully mature, AND INTENDS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!
I think that pink bug at the end of the video. Probably sprays their fello bugs with adrenaline and other body/Mind altering substances that are easily exorbed by their ally bugs.
i think the oppressor and impaler are more comparable, they are both very heavily armored and cause spikes to come from the ground
The oppressor is more like a charger because they are numerous and not difficult to kill, the impalers are like a lower health dreadnought to be honest
As a HD2 fan who hasn’t played DRG, I wouldn’t necessarily want them to copy the exact functions of some of the DRG bugs, but I have to admit that the Warden and Exploder do sound like cool ideas for future terminids. Definitely would crank up the difficulty.
It is an interesting thing to see between HD2 and DRG. The terminds are creatures that were experimented on just so they can produce more of the oil like substance in their body and are now rapidly evolving insectoids that are just trying to expand. The Glyphids however don’t need to do that. They won their ecological arms race in Hoxxes. Due to the radical changes many people theorized happen, there needed to be some dominant creature that can adapt the best to these environments. And the glyphid swarm were the winners. Why they are everywhere and have adapted to every single cave in Hoxxes. And only now are the swarm getting challenged by the company of DRG as they attempt to mine the planet dry.
terminids i think exist between the ant style hive and a sci-fi style hivemind. because the terminids clearly still gave to communicate with each other through the language of pheromones. which means they dont have a telepathic link between each other so perhaps its the hive lords/queens that are the hiveminded leaders of the terminids
Literally the first thing you say about starship troopers is wrong. Even in the movie which was a complete piss take, not even a parody, it was a piss take of the book, made the bugs the aggressor. The director directly said in an interview that the bugs attacked first.
Erm, no? There is a news broadcast that mentions humans expanding into the bugs' territory before the war begins. Humans moved into bug planets, bugs defend their home, humans attack bugs. The humans literally started it
terminids have 4 legs, and 2 chelicerae
swarmers can be overwhelming if you dont bring the right weaponry or try to ignore them for too long, serving effectively the same role as the scavenger
glyphid stingtail & septic spreaders look significantly different from the rest
the praetorian is really more like a bile spewer, with the acid spray, big unarmored ass, & mouth weakspot
(both even have an aoe "attack" when they die in the form of spewers exploding, and praetorians leaking gas)
chargers & behemoths are both a decent comparison to oppressors
Sorry Nate, you’re just a Leaf Lover!
1:07 and 13:19, bro got hit with that analog horror stutter.
the spore charger is very close to the exploder as it runs into you and when you kill it explodes and kills you
Terminds also detect off of vibrations more than eye sight
Really hoping they do a crossover with DRG. I have 1000hrs in DRG. DRG and HD2 are my all-time favorite games.
While not exactly the same I can see comparisons between the Impaler and the Glyphid Sting Tail. The Impaler attacks by stabbing you with tentacles from its head while the Sting Tail grabs you with the stretchy claw from its tail and stabs you with its horn.
0:32 Me As soon is I has that game.
ROCK AND STONE
I love your videos g. Don't worry I just subscribed
What kind of bugs, bots, or illuminates would you add to helldiver 2. They could be new or old maybe even something else entirely. as for me I want to see a walking fortress for the bugs and bots something you HAVE to kill from the inside, just imagine a mobile factory or hive walking around the map armed to the teeth with artillery, bile, guns, and claws. then KABOOM
Metal Gear
@CONVERGENCEPOINT-ku2ph like a boss
I think theyre also inspired by the Tyranids from 40K since... Well just compare the names
Interesting enough, Rim world mods, have hell divers, and DeepRockGalactic dwarves. 😆
More DRG stuff please 🙏
there are exploding grunts on the terminid front
Please talk more on the drg bugs, I think they deserv their own video.
Idk nate Helldivers 1 came out in 2015 while deep rock came out in 2018 sooo
Which would you rather face, a bile titan or a bulk detentor?
Bulk detonator because it's very slow so you could probably just run away from it
I slipped! (Dead on the ground)
Oh god damnit theres a pebble in my boot
I need a mod that replaced your bucket with a shoe so when you go to deposit it looks like you had an entire mine worth of gravel in your shoe
9:31 Spore Chargers kinda of already do that
Based on everything ive seen in the comments, I think it’s safe to say this Nate guy doesn’t know what the hell hes talking about
having DRG unique enemies added to HD2 in HD2 style would prob be the best way for HD and DR to collab
That wouldn’t be canon at all.
Having the stingtail in hd2 would be devastating
Hmm
Maybe the nuke nursery mission where it leaves a deep hole, sometimes a DRG glyphid crawls out?
Deep Rock Galactic x Helldivers 2 when?
Rock and Stone for Super Earth!
Just wanted to point this out in helldivers if you shoot any big hugs they explode and kill you if you close ish.. not exactly the same as drg but still annoying
ROCK AND STONE
Bile warriors explode on death, it's not quite the same
Hoxxes from deep rock is just Katachan from warhammer 40k
ok now compare helldivers to warhammer
Cool video. Now face the wall.
1:05 my man just got socialist slammed
Helldivers release on 2015 DRG release on 2024. If anything DRG drew inspiration from HD1 who which loosely copied starship troopers.
I feel that it's worth pointing out that maybe Helldivers were taking inspiration from DRG, but the Glyphid Stalker showed up in Deep Rock way after Helldivers came out, so the inspirations go both ways
Neat
Terminids? Tyranids? 😉
Who all enjoys and/or laughs at the bits/role-play sections of the videos?
Drg warbond
Support weapon- breach cutter (no backpack)
Primary weapon- loki rifle (the lock on one)
Secondary weapon- zucuv pistols (two handed, can be used as one)
Armor passive- 'colonist's resilience' , 50% less slowdown effects (any source, stacks with muscle enhancement, including artillery shells)
Title- hard worker
Honorable mentions- m1000, thunderhead, fat boy
Sup
Its just 40K dude
show me the eyes on a terminid
