There’s a new bug in town! Or, um, there will be? As you probably know by now, the first-ever expedition into the Gloom is on its way. Apparently, there’s a lot more going on inside of the spore cloud than Helldivers were expecting. The latest edition of Strohmann news gave the Helldivers 2 players a peek at a new bug waiting in the Gloom.
There Are Reports of a New Bug in the Gloom
The latest Major Order dropped on February 18. The briefing revealed that the Helldivers could venture into the Gloom, thanks to hardworking scientists on Turing. However, it didn’t mention any new horrifying Terminids.
The players who were patient enough to check the news on their Super Destroyer before taking off to fight in the Gloom have seen some concerning things. The news showed silhouettes of, well, probably Warriors and Chargers (spoiler alert: these be “Gloomed” variants or even the Predator strain), and also of a previously unseen bug.
Baskinator, the Community Manager, posted another news segment on the official Discord. In it, you can see a Helldiver fighting the bugs on the streets of Fori Prime when this, um, thing starts running toward them. The video then cuts off, but we think it’s safe to say that the Helldiver didn’t make it back home.
As for when you’ll get to fight this bug, it’s unknown at the time of writing this article. Baskinator explained that certain enemies were temporarily disabled due to the fog clouds interfering with Super Destroyer systems. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.
Helldivers 2 Players Are Cautiously Entering the Gloom
Even though they might not be facing the new bug just yet, Helldivers 2 players are still wary of going into the Gloom. Don’t get us wrong, the community is super-excited, but some players advise caution. Veterans suggest you think twice about what you’re bringing with you.
One player, Lone-Frequency, stated: “DESickle was definitely intended to help against the huge swarms of Predator strain units. So, the Hellbomb Pack and Ultimatum definitely implied the introduction of some new super-heavy units”.
Truth be told, it makes sense that the devs would give the players some time to learn how to handle the equipment before sending them off to face these things. That means that the Hellbomb Pack and the Ultimatum could be quite handy. It also makes us wonder if the Hatchet and the Shovel will also come into play.
As to what this creature is, well, your guess is as good as anyone’s (probably even better). ArsenikMilk suggested: “Biblically accurate Bile Titan”. Another player, Tesanekkokos, noted: “Three Bile Titans on top of each other. The top one is doing a star with its legs to make fun of our Great Beautiful Super Earth Flag and it is wearing a hat with evil-looking horns to try and scare our faithful citizens”.
Okay, that last one might be stretching it, but, we’d love to kill all three of those Bile Titans, especially the top one. Who knows, we might get an opportunity to do so quite soon. So, grab your favorite weapons, and meet us on Fori Prime. For Liberty and Super Earth.
