The Helldivers 2 Kill 500 Terminids personal order, aka “Pest Control”, is the daily challenge wherein players must go to war against the bugs. It’s certainly a simple task and one you’ll likely make some progress on when playing the game normally, but not necessarily an easy one, and players who pick the wrong missions or approaches might find themselves struggling to wrack up the bug-killing numbers. Fortunately, as masters in pest control even before Super Earth was demanding a quota on it, we can walk you through how to kill 500 Terminids in Helldivers 2 and complete the daily order for yourself.

Once you get 500 Kills, you’ll be rewarded with a tasty clutch of 15 Medals to put towards the Warbonds battle passes. It’s worth keeping in mind also that while kills are important for this challenge, in the vast majority of play you don’t actually get a reward for killing enemies - XP is based on objective completion, not number of kills. It just so happens that for the Pest Control objective, they’re one and the same.
