Following yesterday’s announcement of Helldivers 2‘s “biggest update yet”, Escalation of Freedom, there’s a lot to get excited about ahead of its arrival on August 6. Though, one of the new mission types that’s set to arrive has players already doing something a bit bizarre — coming up with names for the Terminid babies they’ll be carrying.
If you missed the update’s reveal, you can check out a run-down of what it includes here — it should be music to your ears, especially if you’ve been desperate for a fresh challenge difficulty-wise or just in the form of new enemies. Meanwhile, if you’ve been thinking the game needs a bit more of a Death Stranding-style twist to it, you’re also in luck.
You see, one of the new mission types outlined in the trailer below sees you tasked with picking up a little test-tube backpack and successfully delivering it to the extraction point. The problem is that it contains a Terminid larva, which’ll make your job a harder by attracting swarms of protective bugs to attack you via its cries.
