Dealing With the Predator Strain in Helldivers 2

The head is where the Predator Strain is weak, but they usually roam in groups, so expect large numbers rushing at you.

Predator Hunters usually attack your team from the flanks and will only strike if they catch you with your back turned. Predator Stalkers, on the other hand, will start charging as soon as they see you, and they are faster. Stuns and Gas Dog are very helpful, as you can retreat while shooting them. It is recommended that you stay with your team to eliminate these groups, as single Helldivers will get overwhelmed very easily.

You can pick Light to Heavy armor types against the Predator Strain in Helldivers 2, but it is recommended to include extra padding for safety. Stalkers generally miss their swipe attacks if you keep moving, and Hunters should be dealt with before they reach you.

Loadouts Against the Predator Strain

Guns like the Heavy Machine Gun, which stagger the Terminids in Helldivers 2, are really effective. Additionally, Auto Cannons with the Guard Dog and some help from your team will make the Predator Strain a minimal problem during missions.
