Summary
Helldivers 2is full of missions that aim to test the skills and teamwork capabilities of every player. However, some players are less interested in difficulty and more intrigued bymissions involving Terminids, as they allow for better planetary exploration. The upcoming update is exciting for fans of Terminid levels, as it will bring an addition that not only makes players engage more with the fearsome bugs and their environment, but also shows how the creatures have a somewhat charming side to them.
Though the Escalation of Freedom update forHelldivers 2plans on providing many new additions that will improve the game, one of the most intriguing additions is a mission that involves escorting a Terminid larva back to the extraction point in the hopes of bringing it back for research. Although the mission will involve a lot of the fearsome bugs trying to stop the players from doing so, one cannot help but appreciate the appeal that the little insect-like creature brings. While most will still see the Terminid threat as an abomination, this larva shows the monsters from a different perspective, possibly changing how some people view them.
How the Larva Mission Can Make the Terminids More Appealing
Players are usually focused on figuring out thebest weapons for dealing with the Terminids,as the bugs are a huge threat to galactic democracy. But the adorable little larva that’s bound to come in the upcoming Escalation of Freedom update may provide more insight regarding the insect-like monsters, maybe even allowing some to sympathize with them. Here are a few ways the mission can manage to do that:
While many currently don’t think twice before craftingthe best build and loadouts for eradicating the Terminids, that could change if Arrowhead turns up the cuteness factor with the larva. While the level of damage the creatures have wrought against the defenders of Super Earth is insurmountable, perhaps it’s more of a fight for survival than anything else.
How the Larva Mission Can Affect Helldivers 2
The new mission type may help in showing a different side to the Terminids, but it can also be used to produce more content for the game. It could lead to even more assignments involving the adorable larva going forward, ones that can produce a meaningful and engaging plot that expounds on the insect-like monsters' relation with Super Earth. For example, it could lead to a task that involves players having to destroy a nest full of larva to ensure that their population remains in a controlled state and have less chance of becoming an uncontrollable threat, though if the larva look innocent, the mission could leave gamers feeling conflicted about their actions.Helldivers 2is sitting on a potential gold minewith the new mission type, and hopefully Arrowhead will seize the opportunity to take advantage of it.
