Excessive Command of Tremendous Earth is understood for by no means mendacity to their Patriotic Helldivers, however plainly is probably not the case this time round. Helldivers 2 has simply issued a brand new Intelligence Transient that confirms the existence of a brand new pressure of Terminids, flying ones, when beforehand Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt denied their existence, saying such rumors had been propaganda. However I suppose not.
Right here’s the brand new briefing that gamers can learn after they log in right this moment:
“A brand new pressure of flying Terminids has immediately appeared throughout all Terminid planets with no prior warning or indication of any variety. 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.
The deployment of the Termicide was fortuitously timed, doubtlessly. It averted a good worse evolution. Helldivers are inspired to exterminate these mutatations wherever encountered.”
So, I imagine this message is showing now as a result of aside from just a few remoted incidents (which might actually be considered as “prior warning”) they’ll now be widespread throughout Terminid planets. The flying variations will swoop down and assault you and can spawn from nests you will need to search out and destroy. I think about it will now be a extra widespread map goal.
As of the final patch, I’ve not but seen something new or sneaky added to the sport like flying Terminids final time. The speculation, in fact, is that maybe it was the Termicide itself that precipitated the mutation when it had not been beforehand seen.
Because it stands, there’s a Main Order that has been issued to take over two planets in two sectors that the group appears on observe to fail. It’s taken about two days to get the primary one, and I doubt there’s sufficient time to get the second cleared, however we’ll see how a lot the Helldivers can push and the way a lot resistance the bugs put up.
Provided that there has not been a very main growth in a short time now, and virtually all the map is cleared of enemies at this level, it does really feel like one thing main goes to be coming quickly. Whether or not it’s on the finish of this Main Order or not, which is probably going going to fail, is unclear, however I might brace for affect simply in case.
We’ll maintain monitoring these developments and now, watch the skies, I suppose. Let’s hope the Automatons don’t learn to fly subsequent.
