Helldivers 2’s newest update includes neat new enemies like the Impaler, but I hope Arrowhead returns to the strategy used in past updates to slowly reveal new info.
The latest Helldivers 2 update is the biggest yet, and fans are unhappy with its balance changes and flamethrower nerfs designed to make liberal application of cleansing flame less overwhelmingly popular. While many players are eagerly awaiting more buffs from Arrowhead, I’m excited for a whole other reason: There’s a big cloud of Terminid spores called the Gloom, and I can’t wait to see what big scary bugs emerge from the slowly developing Terminid Control System storyline.
You might say, “But Cass! Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler! Doesn’t that scratch your itch for big bug mayhem?”
I like the Impaler just fine. This big, Charger-looking beast will split open its face plates, planting them into the ground and spawning tentacles everywhere you go. It’s fairly balanced; you can kill it with anything that’d one-shot a Charger, or wait for its face to open up so you can shoot inside.
