In Helldivers 2, it was discussed over a month ago whether it really makes sense to use the termiticide to weaken the bugs. Now it shows that you were right with your concerns.
What were you right about? Over a month ago, there was the general order against the bugs that was supposed to drive them away from 4 planets forever. The scientists of the directed democracy developed a termiticide that was supposed to eliminate the bugs on the planets and “vaccinate” the planets against a renewed infestation of the bugs.
Ever since the order came up, Helldivers players have been skeptical about whether it really makes sense to listen to the all-knowing supreme command. Many Helldivers feared that the bugs could mutate due to the “vaccination” of the planet, leading to the flying bugs that had been sporadically spotted back then.
In the end, the Helldivers carried out the general order despite the concerns, and the vaccination seemed to work – until now.
Beware Helldiver: If you pay attention to the tips from the following video, you’ll become really unpopular.
The bugs in Helldivers 2 have outsmarted the poison
How did the bugs manage that? The bugs seem to have outsmarted the poison that was distributed on the four planets overnight and made use of it.
The population of bugs on the planets has exploded overnight, and the bugs are simultaneously attacking all four planets. The planet Meridia has already become the super-colony of the bugs, and the others are also at risk of falling.
This is a big problem for the Helldivers. As long as the poison is still active on the planets, more and more bugs will appear. The supreme command has, of course, reacted immediately and ordered a new general order commanding the Helldivers to shut down the termitin control systems.
The brave soldiers have 5 days left to do this, otherwise the bugs will probably become too powerful and have taken control of the entire planet.
What do the players say about it? The players are not surprised by the event, as they are somewhat to blame for it through their fan theories from back then. The gamemaster Joel is surely reading along when fans publicly discuss their theories – perhaps he has even taken inspiration from it.
At least that is what players suspect in response to the new situation. On Reddit, the user Select_Ad3588 writes: “Wow, not a single person in the whole world saw this coming!”
Also, unicornofdemocracy on Reddit is not surprised and gives Joel the next prompt: “I can’t wait to see the videos of people discovering new types of bugs through the TCS… but the spread of the bugs via the TCS looks disgustingly amazing.”
Gibs_01 on Reddit has an idea that excites some in the comments: “Do you all think that Meridia will be the first planet to introduce a boss monster”
A boss monster in Helldivers 2 is something many players would likely want to see. However, there are as yet no further clues, except that Meridia has become a super-colony.
