How To Deactivate Terminid Control Systems In Helldivers 2

It turns out the attempts to eliminate the bug threat through the use of Terminid Control Systems were entirely fruitless in Helldivers 2. Now, it’s up to the Helldivers to deactivate these terminals across several major planets. To prevent the spread of the Terminid and to earn plenty of medals along the way, it’s essential for Helldivers to know how to deactivate the Terminid Control Systems.

Part of the last major order was to establish Terminid Control Systems meant to constrain the bug population across multiple barrier planets in Helldivers 2. Mission command may have worked against Super Earth’s best interest, as these controls have only led to further growth in the Terminid population. Now, it’s time to return to these planets to retroactively fix our previous mistakes to stop the spread of Terminids. Like many other objectives on bug-infested planets, the way to complete this task is fairly straightforward.

How To Deactivate Terminid Control Systems in Helldivers 2

There are three total steps to complete the new Terminid Control Systems missions in Helldivers 2. Helldivers must destroy at least 17 mutated Terminid Eggs, manually deactivate corrupted battery silos, and then extract. Infested control system areas will have large Terminid eggs covering nearby walls. Like any normal egg elimination mission, use your primary weapons or your best explosive stratagems to destroy these mutated eggs. Be aware, there will be plenty of Terminids guarding these sections of the map.

These tasks can be completed simultaneously. If you want to save time for extra medals, then it might be best to split your squad into duos to complete these two objectives simultaneously.

Alongside destroying mutated eggs, you must also find corrupted battery silos on the map to deactivate. The silos themselves appear to be massive, bug-infested pillars. Players can deactivate these silos by pressing a blue button and inputting the necessary code. These affected areas will appear on your map, and you only need to deactivate three total silos. Once both tasks are complete, Helldivers are free to either extract or take on any side missions in the area.

Where To Find Terminid Control Systems In Helldivers 2

It doesn’t seem like too long ago that we visited several planets to install the Terminid Control Systems, but now it’s time to deconstruct these hulking pillars. At this time, Fenrir III, Turing, Erata Prime, and Meridia are the four most common planets where you will find this mission available, with a variety of Helldiver's Terminid enemies awaiting you. It is entirely possible that if the Helldivers fail to stop this threat, we could find mutated eggs across far more planets than across the galaxy.

Currently, deactivating Terminid Control Systems is at the heart of the latest major order associated with Arrowhead’s recent patch. Once Fenrir III, Erata Prime, and Turing are all free of Terminid Control Systems, we can expect to arrive to a much worse situation on Meridia. For these missions, machine guns or flame-based weapons, such as Napalm airstrikes or flamethrowers are the best for eliminating mutated eggs and the nearby Terminid in Helldivers 2.
