Summary

  • Leaked Helldivers 2 subtitles reveal a new strain of Terminid, the "Super Predators".
  • So far, there are two variants we know of, Hunters and Stalkers.
  • The leaks also reveal a new weapon the community can vote where to fire, as well as anti-warship missiles.

Dataminers have uncovered a string of subtitles from an upcoming Helldivers 2 update that reveals new "Super Predator" variants of Stalkers and Hunters.

Supposedly, these are "a Gloom-enhanced strain of Terminids" that have been luring SEAF patrols into ambushes, pointing to a level of intelligence hitherto unseen by the bugs. We don't know much else about them at this stage, but "Every ounce of a Helldivers' superior senses will be required to hunt down this dangerous threat."

Given that the Gloom is strengthening the Terminid hordes at an unsettling pace, we will be tasked with wiping out the infestation in its entirety; "Whatever the source of the Gloom is, culling the Terminids' foul brood and their odious progenitors will surely impact the cloud's propagation," the line reads. It's speculated that the Gloom comes from beneath the surface, so one of the main objectives will be to destroy subterranean nests and nurseries.

The Leaks Also Reveal A New Anti-Ship Weapon

Terminids aren't so intelligent as to have warships of their own... yet. But the Automatons and Illuminate are. Thankfully, these leaked subtitles tell of a new "Zero G Anti-Ship Missile System" that can wipe out enemy spacecrafts as they flee from a planet's atmopshere, giving us the upperhand.

The leaks also reveal a new weapon called the DSS, which "fires nonstop orbital bombardments from its suite of 77 PRESIDENTIAL-Class Cannons, providing planetwide artillery support". We'll be able to vote where the DSS is stationed, giving the community another tool in its arsenal to turn the tide in tougher liberation fronts.

But maybe we should just leave the DSS aimed at the intelligent, Super Predator Terminids, yeah? Burn 'em with fire and all that.
