In Helldivers 2, the bugs are currently the biggest problem. The TKS has failed, and now players must avert a terrible crisis. Although the situation sounds catastrophic, fans suspect even worse conditions that could soon arise.
What is happening in Helldivers 2? Over-Earth has issued a new general order to its Helldivers. The TKS, also known as the Terminites Control System, has failed and has led to a hyper-reproductive adaptation in the bugs.
In short: The bugs have spawned many offspring and are now overrunning the “impenetrable” borders that Over-Earth had created. All fighters are now called upon to disable the TKS facilities and destroy the eggs of these beasts.
However, one mission in the operation creates an uneasy feeling among players. Because when you look at the changes in the TKS devices, it becomes clear that no small bugs were responsible for this.
Avoid these things, or you’ll quickly become unpopular in Helldivers 2:
Players fear a great threat
What has been discovered in the new missions? With the new general order, there is also a new mission that you can take on: Deactivate the Terminites Control System. In this short mission, you need to disable three buttons and destroy large eggs – it doesn’t sound so dramatic, but much seems inconsistent.
Players have looked at the infestation of the TKS devices and suspect on Reddit that something big is coming.
The facilities are smeared with the organic materials of the bugs, and the size of their eggs has suddenly increased. Reddit user Misterputts concludes that boss fights could follow soon, and with 4665 upvotes (as of May 2 at 12:43 PM), he is also receiving support for his concern.
Other users see connections in the theory with the remains of the Terminites. In the predecessor of Helldivers, players could already fight against “Hive-Lords”. These are huge worms of the Terminites that could be defeated in a boss fight.
There have not been any in Helldivers 2 yet, but their existence is confirmed by remains. Reddit user Jumpy_Bottle5224 says: “Recently, more skeletons of Hive-Lords have appeared on insect planets. They are usually seen near the small nests. But if you visit Estanu, you will see HUGE skeletons that make these other Hive-Lords look like caterpillars.”
Could Hive-Lords appear soon? It is possible. So far, players have three days left to free two overrun planets from the clutches of the bugs. What follows is unknown. During the expansion of the bugs, one of the four TKS planets was completely taken over.
So it could be that after the general order, a new task will be to reclaim Meridia, the lost planet. Perhaps a pack of Hive-Lords is waiting there to devour Helldivers. However, these are all just speculations.
Are you excited about the Hive-Lords, and if so, how do you envision the battle against these giant worms? Let us know in the comments!
