Helldivers are shaking in their boots amid hearsay that a much - feared enemy from the original Helldivers title might be making its way of life to the extremely pop subsequence . And they ’re right to be afraid because it involves surreptitious natural covering and … tentacles .

Originating in the first Helldivers game , the Impaler is a tank Terminid louse that at first glance looks kind of like the Charger . But it employ its claw - shape drumhead to impale you and your fellow Helldivers alternatively of belt along you headfirst . And it does so by comprehend its head into the ground and then shooting up three incisive tentacles right underneath where you and your unsuspecting supporter are standing . Sounds terrifying indeed .

The above post on the always - entertaining Helldivers 2 subreddit read the work of a savvy data miner who unearthed some pretty enjoin filenames titled " Behaviorld_bug_impaler " and " Behaviorld_bug_impaler_tentacle " . While the datum mineworker does note " the mannikin for the bug is not presently in the data file " ( even leading one exploiter to speculate that it might just be cut content ) , they specify these filing cabinet were just recently added to the overall files of patch 01.000.400 . Suspicious , indeed .

Rest assured that , like all Terminids in Helldivers 2 , the Impaler does expose its weakness when it tunnel its head underground – at least if its behavior in Helldivers 1 is anything to go off of . When it digs its head into the footing , it expose a readiness of vulnerable organs that certainly wo n’t last long against the Helldivers ' powerful arsenal . sound like thing could get messy .

As always though , developer Arrowhead Studios has yet to formally confirm the comportment of the Impaler , so do keep an eye on the game ’s update in the coming week and month . And withrumorsthat an entirely fresh enemy faction ( or two ) might before long come to the game , I have a opinion we ’re in computer memory for lots of fresh new content in Helldivers 2 very soon .
