Always expect of every type of attack. The Huragok in this mode are modified with a glassing beam, and can self-destruct above your structures. Note that the enemy will be constantly focusing on attacking the terminus, except for air units, such as modified Huragok that can use a glassing beam if self-destructed above your base and air units who steer off from their original attack course. In a wave of ODST drops, they will always make a drop around the Terminus and main base. | Always expect of every type of attack.

As a starting base, the player will be provided with a basic squad unit (2 Marines or 3 Grunt Infantry Squad | As a starting base, the player will be provided with a basic squad unit (2 Marines or 3 Grunt Infantry Squad), a Tier 2 base (Combat Station or Stronghold) with five slots available and 600 supplies and 400 power. You will be given 30 seconds to prepare before the first wave starts. Terminus firefight generally provides 3 variable minibase slots to each player scattered around the map, with a total of 9 minibase slots available if played by three players; these can be seen while the game is loading. A 1-slot minibase is available near Terminus, a 2-slot minibase is available in the chokepoint area leading to the terminus, and a 3-slot minibase is available near the enemy's spawn points. | ||
Some routes can be blocked using Fence, forcing the enemy to re-route, allowing the player to establish a Stronghold undisturbed. Take note, however, that the player can only limit their movements to a blockade that was near their spawn point. If the player blocks both entrances, the enemy will force its way through. This can be utilized if the player wishes to make a chokepoint in order to maximize the kill zones and to hold out much longer. | Some routes can be blocked using Fence, forcing the enemy to re-route, allowing the player to establish a Stronghold undisturbed.
