Unknown stays unknown
A missing armor table or weak point is shown as unavailable rather than filled with an unversioned community claim. Community testing can be added later with its own label and source.

Five source-backed entities, not a complete encyclopedia
This site currently provides source-backed entity pages for Crusher, Wretch, Hunter, Veracitor, and Hive Lord, plus faction-level preparation for Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate. A familiar name alone is not enough to justify a thin page.
Hunter
Patch 7.0.0 made one Hunter melee attack trigger against occupied FRVs more reliably. The page keeps this narrow official boundary.
Open entity record →Illuminate entityVeracitor
Review the ballistic-shield interaction, ragdoll change, and official “around 15 direct hits” shield-break note.
Open entity record →Terminid roaming threatHive Lord
A massive burrowing threat that deforms terrain, projects acid pressure, and reacts to noise. Arrowhead treats it as a rare roaming encounter rather than a dedicated boss mission.

Devoid of Liberty enemy records
Heavy pressureOfficial
Crusher
Keep coordinated damage on a Crusher and do not give it a quiet reset window. Arrowhead's guidance is to wear it down quickly and consistently before it regenerates.
- Main threat
- It can absorb heavy punishment, return heavy damage, and regain ground through regeneration when pressure is not sustained.
- Weak point status
- A specific weak point is not named in the official sources reviewed
Mobile assaultOfficial
Wretch
Track the Wretch through its dodges and leap, then finish it with focused aim. Slow target switching gives this fast Illuminate threat the opening it wants.
- Main threat
- It advances while dodging and can leap at a Helldiver, overwhelming players who lose the target during its movement.
- Weak point status
- A specific weak point is not named in the official sources reviewed
