Helldivers 2's new update has fans creating Terminid baby names

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for its "biggest update yet" with the Escalation of Freedom set to launch on August 6. This major update includes new mission types, fresh challenges, and new enemies to face. One interesting mission involves players carrying a Terminid larva to an extraction point, which adds a layer of complexity by attracting swarms of protective bugs. The community is already buzzing with excitement, some even coming up with names for their new larval companions. The update promises to introduce more Death Stranding-style elements to the gameplay, enhancing the overall difficulty and engagement for players.

Among the new mission types, one notable addition involves players picking up a test-tube backpack containing a Terminid larva and delivering it to an extraction point. This mission adds complexity as the larva attracts swarms of protective bugs, making the player's job more challenging.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, continues the popular top-down shooter series where players take on the role of Helldivers, elite soldiers tasked with defending Super Earth from alien threats. The game emphasizes cooperative gameplay and has been well-received for its tactical and strategic depth.
