hi, just a quick question...i am playing the single player and sometimes i see what looks like nids fighting amongst themselves.

am i just seeing things, or did i do something to make them go nuts on each other?

thanks!

p.s. can you get more than just the 3 termy armors from the quests?

If you kill a synapse creature (which is only Warrior or Zoanthrope in the campaign) and their are no other synapse creatures in the radius of the Rippers, Hormigaunts, and Terimagants in its synapse radius, they will go berzerk for around 10 seconds. If another synapse creature is in range, the lesser Tyranids will maintain their composure.

Take advantage of this weakness whenever possible. Cyrus is exceptional in this task with a Sniper Rifle and the High Powered Shot ability unlocked. A single round with the ability can kill a Warrior or Zoanthrope in one shot on any difficulty, making it easy to mop up with the other three squads in the disarray.

As for the Terminator armors, no, there are only three.
