[@derstrohmann7450]

Also encountering possible underground activity. Sudden rupturing of the Ground and shaking.

[@Hydrocannon]

Yeah, something BIG is rumbling, and it ain't my stomach...

[@eddapultstab2078]

Also noticed a frozen corpse, or molt. On defensive operations during the termicide deployment. Hope one didn't take root, it would severely delay the extermination protocol.

Is it really really true there are more bugs now? I tried playing yesterday and got killed so many times in helldive when in past playtimes I could easily beat missions dying only once

[@AfroMan187]

Sergeant Rico here, reporting from Meridia with the 805th Assault Brigade, callsign "Anvil". My unit is still investigating reports of Bug evolution. We've hit 12 nests in the last 48 hours and have failed to confirm flying Terminid sightings. Will continue to send field reports when available. In the meantime, send ammo.

[@Drac0nianTheboss]

Down down up right

[@SuperLuminalMan]

'Flying Terminids' are just regular bugs that got thrown about in an explosion, nothing to be concerned about, and are in fact a sign of a job well done. If you didn't see any in a 48hr op it means your squad-mates are hogging all the cool ordnance. up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start.

[@justinwhitsitt7072]

My grandpa said that in the first galactic war you needed a dedicated machine gunner to take out the smaller units, and everybody in the squad were jet packs to quickly escape, from where the hive Lord was erupting from the ground. Fire worked well because it would continue to burn after it borrowed underground and bazooka and rocket launchers and auto cannons dealt good damage to its underbelly, so long as you were careful not to hit your friends with the splash damage

[@Ryuondo]

I really hope that they make things like that raid bosses for if we ever get to their home world. Raid bosses that allow 4-5 4 man fire teams to fight simultaneously.

[@totalradicalness]

That would be so sick

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

Something tells me these ain’t even close to the biggest bugs out there.

[@leodesalis5915]

I'm pretty sure it's stated in the lore that bile titans are considered quite small by the standards of growth on terminid planets, these things are basically tyranids from 40k and the nids have bugs so big they fight space ships larger than the destroyers we have in helldivers. We're fighting drones and workers and think it's tough. There's hell out there lads.

"Those arent earthquakes cadet..." "WOOORRRRRMMMM!"

[@Seth-Halo]

I love seismic activity. It completely stuns the enemy while it just slows me down. At least for bugs, ive found it a great time to thin the mumbers or reposition.

[@Crimnox_Cinder]

Interesting detail I noticed while playing; when playing on planets with tremors, if you have the shield backpack, it renders you immune to them while it's active.

[@olekan1351]

I’ve been seeing these remains everywhere and always thought that. When I saw the termicide event I figured “This is a precursor to maybe a bug mutation or maybe it’ll wake up a bigger threat”. Of course this is a joke. I would never question the legitimacy of the termicide or any other freedom-dispensing weapon to our disposal.

[@hi_im_gojira8554]

Good, because it would be treason if you were speaking so loosely 😂😂

[@devastater97]

I like how we actually catch glimpses of new content in the game, like the seismic activity stuff, before the full fledged updates

[@crusaderfiend7619]

I've also been seeing a lot of wrecked vehicles lately, one is like a jeep and the other is like a transport, so we might be getting two vehicles soon

[@karolrychlik877]

Both are already being tested in game by Devs, seen a few clips by other players that happened to stumble upon a dev dropping in an APC, probably wont be too long before we get a Major order that'll unlock them

[@BitrateBilly]

[@colinhubble6667]

Man they should give orbital tactical nukes and about 1/4 of the map cannot be tread upon for the rest of the match

[@hwithoutaname3629]

It’s really interesting how they are slowly adapting aspects from their first game to the sequel’s change in genre. I’d bet anything is that that is why the harder enemies from the first game are in hiding because they are testing the waters with the new gameplay before threatening democracy harder.

[@MrCovi2955]

"The ministry of defense is determined to keep our Helldivers well informed" Yeah, a week ago they were officially stating that it was treasonous to say that bugs could fly, while early reports were coming in from players about the first sightings of flying Terminids.

Funny thing i noticed. The galactic map unlike the first is fully fleshed out, theres room for four to six other factions to appear on the map. What could it entail? Only time will tell.

[@Akabinxstar]

There’s room for like 4 races total and that’s pushing it. If anything it just entails that enemy races might occupy the same territory.

[@idgaf4184]

Having to start from scratch in Helldivers 2 is really fun after spent years playing the first one. So addicted to this game lol

What if...we pinned the bugs vs the bots? Makes it easier to beat them sense they will be busy fighting each other

[@epicsardines6440]

YES!!! I was so excited for boss fights. When me and my friend saw the molts on our very first planet I was waiting for the announcement. These guys are tough especially the illuminate and bug. The bug is fast and very well armored, the suits didn’t help and it was better to stay mobile. For illuminate he shot out lasers constantly but moved slowly. Don’t bring turrets for him, I remember airstrikes and napalm being best for him. And that’s just for the bosses, smaller units and some big ones constantly streamed in to defend their bosses (or big mamas for the bugs)
