In Helldivers 2, a player discovered a cave and shared it with the community. Many veterans are surprised that such a thing even exists in the game.
What did the player discover? On Reddit, the brave Helldiver Majestic_Bass_2921 shared a screenshot that few players may have seen. It shows his Helldiver character underground in a cave.
The missions in Helldivers 2 usually take place above ground. Very few know that there are also caves in the game. However, the thread creator knows where they come from.
The most famous of all Helldivers congratulated a game on its birthday recently:
Caves in Helldivers
Why are caves so special? There are actually no real caves in Helldivers 2, which is why they are so special. As the poster explains in a comment, caves only form when the procedurally generated map aligns several structures like mountains or hills on certain planets.
For example, on the planet Chort Bay, large rock formations can spawn very close together, creating real caves in the gaps in between. So it requires quite a bit of luck to get such a map.
Here you can see the cave for yourself:
How do the Helldivers react to the caves? It is so rare that many are astonished by the discovery and express their amazement in the comments. On Reddit, they write:
- Eoganachta: “Played over 800 hours and never heard of caves. Learned something today!”
- geminiwave: “The great thing is that you can sometimes open them with enough 500 kg explosives.”
- BadSkoomaDealer: “I always imagine that at some point there will be buildings/ships where we fight in corridors, perhaps together with the introduction of a first-person mode. That would be ‘mega’ – just fighting through a ship full of automatons or separatists or bug-infested SEAF ships/facilities.”
- ph0on: “My biggest criticism of this game so far is that all maps seem quite similar. I would love more variety.”
Even over a year after the launch of Helldivers 2, the planets and thus the maps where battles take place are very similar. However, many other things in the game have changed, as veterans want to explain to the new recruits: The fresh recruits from Over-Earth are achieving glorious victories in Helldivers 2, now the veterans are getting their revenge.
