It’s been a tough week for gamers in Helldivers 2 who’re merely making an attempt to unfold liberty and have enjoyable with pals. First, the dastardly Illuminate despatched the Meridian Singularity right into a planet, destroying Angel’s Enterprise. The Singularity is now on a path in direction of Tremendous Earth, however we don’t have any time to course of that — the Terminids are inflicting issues, and probably the most infuriating enemy within the sport has been buffed to ridiculous levels. The Stalker is a thousand occasions worse, and I’m begging, pleading, and throwing up for Arrowhead to indicate the poor Helldivers a bit of sympathy.
The Terminids are always evolving, and reply unpredictably to outdoors stimulus. When Tremendous Earth tried to deploy a chemical known as the Terminid Management System, it (satirically) triggered the bugs to mutate uncontrolled. Meridia changed into a Supercolony, a Terminid nest so lethal we needed to pump it filled with Darkish Fluid and switch it right into a Singularity. After that entire mess, a part of the galaxy grew to become blanketed in a heavy cloud of spores generally known as the Gloom.
After I logged in on Saturday, I used to be greeted with a brand new Main Order: to guard Fenris III, on which there’s a crucially essential scientific website. If we’re going to cease the Singularity, we’re going to want that analysis on Fenris III. There was only one little downside. This new standing alert:
“Predator Pressure: A Gloom-enhanced pressure of Terminids has been reported on this planet. SEAF patrols have been lured into ambushes, and picked off by unseen assailants. Each ounce of a Helldiver’s superior senses can be required to search out this harmful menace.”
What do these new Predator Hunters and Stalkers appear to be in motion? Not good!!
Hey, fast query for all the proficient and devoted builders at Arrowhead: What the fuck? What did we do to deserve this?! I’m a pleasant individual. I’m not imply to anyone.
We’ve seen the same modifier up to now with the Automaton Jet Brigade, however I don’t really feel like giving the robots a jet pack is wherever close to just like taking the sport’s most vicious enemy, pumping it filled with spikes and mutations, multiplying them into voracious packs, and giving them the power to summon bug breaches which brings extra Stalkers.
Some gamers are delighted on the new problem; after squashing bugs, smashing bots, and tearing by means of hordes of squids, these Helldivers have been wanting a brand new and extra threatening foe. I respect this outlook, and based mostly off a earlier gamerlifemedia interview with Mikael Eriksson, sport director on Helldivers 2, we are able to anticipate related twists on acquainted foes sooner or later. “As we go into the longer term, with all factions, we wish to add particular models or modifications to the factions to push them in numerous instructions,” mentioned Eriksson. That is definitely an thrilling new course, nevertheless it’s additionally fairly terrifying.
Tremendous Earth Excessive Command, please save us. I’d fairly fistfight the Singularity than tangle with these lethal Stalkers. As of Monday morning, the brand new Main Order is to dip our toes into the Gloom and get as a lot information as potential from Fori Prime. This can be a world on the border on the Gloom, nevertheless it’s dim and tough to navigate. As we enterprise additional into the spores, in quest of the E-710 we have to cease the Singularity, I anticipate extra nasty surprises. Please, Arrowhead, cease buffing the Stalkers. I’m so silly and so scared.
