After a brand new Helldivers 2 replace, gamers are discovering that builders Arrowhead have sneakily added a large and almost impossible-to-kill tremendous worm, generally known as the Hive Lord, to the net sci-fi shooter. However one workforce has felled the beast, although it reportedly took almost a dozen nukes.
On September 2, PlayStation and Arrowhead pushed out a brand new, free Helldivers 2 replace generally known as “Into The Unjust.” This huge replace, out there now on PS5, Xbox, and PC, added intricate caves to discover, new missions to finish, and a bit shock. Nicely, extra of a giant shock. The Hive Lord, a bug the scale of a skyscraper, is now an enemy you may encounter in Helldivers 2.
Whereas the Hive Lords appeared within the first Helldivers, they hadn’t but proven up within the sequel. Hive Lords had been hinted at within the replace’s trailer and have been teased in-game since launch. However Arrowhead didn’t formally checklist the brand new huge enemy within the recreation’s patch notes, so some gamers found the Hive Lords fully by probability and had been shocked by their scale. These items are huge. Big. Simply the most important enemy in Helldivers 2. And they’re very laborious to kill.
At first, gamers weren’t even positive Hive Lords might be killed, with some reporting the beasts had survived tactical nukes and lots of, many bullets. However gamers noticed that typically a bullet would penetrate the beast’s armor and that it did react to explosions. “If it bleeds, it may be killed” grew to become a rallying name below some posts of Hive Lords laying waste to gamers and autos. Even nonetheless, some weren’t positive. Possibly it was an excessive amount of for the forces of democracy to deal with.
Finally, one squad of courageous and devoted Helldivers killed a Hive Lord, doubtless changing into one of many first groups, if not the primary workforce, to take action. In accordance with one of many individuals concerned with killing the large sand worm, it took 10+ Hellbombs, 8+ 500KG bombs, and “a ton of Ultimatums and Spears/RRs.” In accordance with IsJustSophie, one of many Hive Lord slayers, “I shat my pants when it burst out of the bottom.” Looks as if a completely honest and cheap response to encountering a large god worm.
