There’s been some alarming information on the Helldivers 2 warfront. It seems Helldivers 2’s Shriekers, the flying bugs fairly actually making the rounds, are certainly very actual, regardless of repeated denials from of us like inventive director Johan Pilestedt, who’s additionally CEO of developer Arrowhead and who could properly have put himself within the scorching seat of the Galactic Conflict’s excessive command.
A brand new in-game dispatch confirms: “A brand new pressure of flying Terminids has all of the sudden appeared throughout all Terminid planets, with no prior warning or indication of any form. Whereas the Ministry of Intelligence has all the time recognized this was a chance, the abruptness of the evolution signifies a excessive chance of dissident concealment.”
Sure, if solely there had been some prior warning or indication of any form. Now, I am not a lawyer, nor have I studied intergalactic media legislation very intently (learn: in any respect), nevertheless it sounds to me just like the courageous flying bug whistleblowers have been vindicated, whereas Shrieker deniers like Pilestedt have some explaining to do. I am certain the director will say he was solely containing panic whereas awaiting definitive affirmation of this new menace to offer the absolute best directives for the nice of Tremendous Earth, however I am not totally satisfied of that excuse I simply wrote myself. For good measure, I must see an image of Pilestedt posing with a slain Shrieker like a fisherman exhibiting off a bluefin tuna.Â
The dispatch continues: “The deployment of Termicide was fortuitously timed – doubtlessly, it averted a good worse evolution. Helldivers are suggested to exterminate these mutations every time encountered.”
Oh sure, doubtlessly. Absolutely planet-wide deployment of Area Cockroach Agent Orange had nothing to do with the looks of a harmful breed of mutant bug, and certainly that is the one time that’ll occur. I am actually beginning to hope gamers are literally unsuitable in regards to the perceived indicators of a Bile Titan-beating superbug that will quickly rear its ugly head.Â
Pilestedt requested gamers tips on how to battle serial kickers, and the group’s received one surefire option to humble poisonous hosts: throw their samples within the abyss.Â
