    As any soldier, spy, or gun-for-hire knows, gathering intel is an important aspect of assessing risk and making a plan of action to get a job done. Luckily for future Defiance players, Trion is helping the process out by offering a series of enemy intel videos. Now showing: hell bugs. A result of the terraforming disaster, hell bugs are a very aggressive and territorial subterranean species capable of quickly excavating solid stone. With a hard exoskeleton, razor-sharp appendages, toxic secretions, and a speed that belies their size, these giant bugs are not so easily squashed. For a closer look at the hell bugs, check out the clip after the cut. [Thanks to SixShot for the tip!]

    Ready for another Defiance enemy intel video? Last time Trion filled us in on the game's interspecies horde of scavengers known as the Raiders. This time, the narrative is all about the Scrappers, which are hostile robots constructed of scrap metal and salvaged tech. The Scrappers are partially sentient, and prone to patrolling an area for salvage and collecting components. There are also hints about a higher-level AI directing Scrapper behavior from afar. Trion advises players to deal with Scrappers by targeting their patchwork weapon systems first. Click past the cut for the preview clip.
