Helldivers 2pits elite soldiers of Super Earth against Terminids and Automatons. The border planets to Super Earth need the most help, as soldiers need to activate the Terminid Control System to stop further bug infestation.
The TCS mission type is a small map-sized mission that localizes you to three Battery Silos, one generator, and the extraction point. The goal here is to trigger the bug gas after starting the generator and the Battery Silos. This guide breaks down how to complete this mission type and get around the challenges of the Terminid Control System mission.
How To Activate The Terminid Control System
The first step in initiating the Terminid Control System is tointeract with the main generatorat the center of the mission map. This will bring up more tasks, includingactivating three Battery Siloslocated near the main generator.
The Battery Silos are hard to miss as they are very tall, looking almost like an ICBM.Each Battery Silo has a stationthat you need to interact withto start. It takes time for the Battery Silo to activate, and theprogression bar becomes visible after starting it.
The goal here is tostop bugs from reaching and hitting the Battery Silo. Theterminal will reset the progression to zeroif it takes too much damage.
The HUD shows the state of Battery Silo, and it shifts between three states: Stable, Unstable, and Critically Unstable. Taking too much damage will shut it off, and you need to redo the activation process, which is the actual challenge of the TCS mission.
Every time youactivate a Battery Silo, a few bug breaches will happennear it. The goal is tocoordinate the offensive and stop bugsfrom damaging the Silo. If bugs are successful, the progression will reset, and the swarm will start attacking divers next.
Do not repeatedly press and activate the Battery Silo after a failed attempt. Clear the bug breach wave first and then restart the activation. If not, then you will frequently get overwhelmed by bugs near any given Battery Silo.
After activating all three Battery Silos, you need to approach the extraction zone andactivate another terminal with a yellow button.
This will start a gas dispersion process that can be seen right above the three Battery Silos. Once this is done, the Pelican one arrives for extraction, and you can complete the mission.
The Best Loadout Choice For Terminid Control System Mission
You need theperfect loadout that can kill bugs quicklybefore they reach Battery Silo. Here is the loadout each member should run with while doing the Terminid Control System mission.
Slow down bugs at the point of bug breach.
Eagle Air Strike
A slowed down swarm can be wiped immediately with this stratagem.
Hit the chargerson the head and wipe them as instantly.
Destroy multiple high-level threats suchas Bile Titansand Chargers.
Heavy Armor
Mobility is not important in TCS missions, and heavy armor should be equipped.
