There is no shortage of big bugs to tackle inHelldivers 2, not least the colossal Terminids known as Bile Titans, but if the latest fan theory is to be believed, a much bigger and more formidable foe is on the way.

In the comments, some other Helldivers veterans point out that, despite being absolutely huge, Bile Titans are actually considered “medium-sized” enemies, leaving many who’ve jumped it at Helldivers 2 feeling more than a little nervous. “Excuse Me?!” says IceColdCocaCola in the comments. “What the FUCK. How large can the enemies get in this game?” Almighty_Brian writes, “You put that thing back where it came from or so help me.”

Others are excited at the prospect of this epic beast making an appearance, including RampagedAlpaca, who was convinced they were “gonna get eaten by a big ass worm creature” when the tremors appeared. “Now I’m sad that I didn’t,” they write, “I’m really excited that this might be a possibility.” Then there’s MrJoemazing, who says, “It’s stuff like this that makes me so excited for the future of this game. It’s like a massive sci-fi D&D campaign we are all playing together.”

Indeed, playing together is what Helldivers 2 is all about. The community recentlygot together to liberate Tien Kwanafter developer Arrowhead declared the factory planet to be under attack. Their bravery and determination were swiftly rewarded with the arrival of mechs, which, incidentally, could help level the playing field should bigger threats be introduced.
