Helldivers 2players think they’ve discovered what could be “Hive Lord tunnels,” in what they believe might be the prelude to the return of the gigantic enemies from the original game.
Earlier this week, a brand newHelldivers 2 Major Ordertook players back to the planets they’d established the Terminid Control System in, to destroy the very towers that were meant to cage the bugs. On the revamped planets, players have begun making horrible discoveries,like the towers with Terminid matter all around them, and the weird tunnels descending into the ground you can see below.
Some players don’t actually believe the big tunnels are large enough for the infamous Hive Lords. “Given the size of that hole, and the size of the skeletons left on planets, I don’t think those are developed Hive Lord holes. Those are worker/young hive larva holes,” one player responds. That’s pretty worrying, if it is the case.
Unfortunately, the new holes are proving a bit of a logistical nightmare for Helldivers 2 players. It turns out a lot of players have simply been falling into them, and are unable to get out, just like the player above. Even the massive Patriot Exosuit can’t save them - the big bad mechs have been swallowed whole by the hole too.
Arrowhead loves teasing players with enemies before they’re officially added to the shooter. Just look at the way the developer rolled out the flying Terminids earlier this year - thegame’s director said footage of them was a lie, only for the flying bugs to turn up and rid players to shreds. Maybe we could expect similar propaganda surrounding whatever is hiding in the holes, though the upcomingHelldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbondgear may be able to help,
Helldivers 2 players love the post-patch revolver, but not just because it’s stronger – you can now spin it like a democracy-loving cowboy.
