The next big chapter in the Helldivers 2 saga is now live–with detailed patch notes to boot–and with the armies of Super Earth being joined by new Xbox recruits, it’s time to explore uncharted territory. Into the Unjust will see Helldivers venture into subterranean Terminid lairs, hostile territory that cuts troopers off from their usual Super Destroyer support unless they find a gap in the structures. Just what secrets lie behind the mysterious Gloom shroud that has been seen on several Hive Worlds? You’ll have to find out for yourself, but at least there’s some neat new armor and weapons you can equip to help you in your fight.
As for the update, this will include the usual selection of gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and new content. Hive Worlds with randomly generated cave systems will be introduced here, giving players a chance to discover “disgusting flora and fauna” amidst advanced Terminid species. These planets also feature acid lakes that you don’t want to take a swim in, destructible walls in the cave systems, and dark zones where multi-legged horrors will be hiding.
One of the new gameplay modes will also task you with taking control of a mobile oil rig to siphon the mysterious oily substance from these worlds, and for the new enemy types, developer Arrowhead is teasing four new Terminid breeds. Rupture Spewers can vomit a lethal substance on players, Rupture Warriors hide in the dark away to protect their organs from UV radiation, and Rupture Chargers can burrow through the ground to ambush Helldivers. Finally, Dragonroaches attack from the sky with an acid bombing run.
