However now that’s behind us, because the jungle biome has arrived for a minimum of one planet in Helldivers 2. To this point, the followers completely adore it.

It’s lucky (son) that the jungle biome has turn out to be such a success. Prior to now, the one method Helldivers 2 gamers might expertise their in-game “House Vietnam” was with Malevelon Creek, a planet the neighborhood lastly liberated in April.

Helldivers 2 followers drop onto Gacrux to stay out their Commando desires

I gave the planet a glance myself and might verify that the jungle biome is unimaginable. Timber stand tall in opposition to the amber skies however will be knocked to the bottom with a well-placed Eagle Strike. Olive swimming pools of water stretch throughout the bottom. Daylight pierces the cover with the approaching daybreak, burning away the mists that choke the environment. And so forth.

It truly is attractive and, frankly, it appears to be a bit a lot for my poor PlayStation 5 to deal with. When the bug swarms pour by way of the timber like water and the rains begin falling, my PS5 chugs even on Efficiency mode. I’m hoping an optimization patch is cooking in Arrowhead’s kitchen.

Regardless, I plan on dropping on Gacrux once more within the close to future. The brand new biome looks like simply the inducement I have to get again onto the bug hunt. If any Stalker nests seem, I’ll lastly know what it’s prefer to stay by way of that one scene in Predator.
