Helldivers 2’s shifting online warfront has gained a new threat: a venomous strain of Terminids that is creating highly toxic cave systems beneath the surface of various planets. The details were shared on the PlayStation Blog.

These bugs move faster than regular Terminids but are more fragile. Shotguns, flamethrowers and grenades are recommended for dealing with them quickly, although these weapons are less precise.

Players hit by the new enemies can be poisoned. Light poison gradually reduces health, while heavy poison builds up over time.

Arrowhead continues to update Helldivers 2 with new missions, story developments and features, adjusting the game’s shared warfront as players progress.
