It’s not really easy to destroy a whole planet, particularly one so infested with bugs. And never simply the Terminid sort, as Helldivers swiftly discovered yesterday. The Darkish Matter mission in Helldivers 2 is getting a hotfix following quite a few experiences of bugs and, um, bugs.

On Could 30, the second part of the Main Order ‘Enduring Peace’ started with a surprising demand from Tremendous Earth’s best: Wipe the planet Meridia off the galactic map as soon as and for all. To take action, divers needed to inject a clearly harmful substance often known as Darkish Fluid into the crust of Meridia — a planet swarming with Terminid following the failed Termicide experiment. As soon as sufficient of the stuff was injected the planet, the rock would collapse right into a black gap. Sadly, issues have been going fairly badly.

Gamers have been reporting that the mission is nigh inconceivable, whatever the chosen problem. Heavy enemies akin to Bile Titans spawn nearly straight on the positioning of a drill it’s worthwhile to shield, making issues tougher than wanted. Swarms of bugs spew from holes, and your imaginative and prescient is blocked by thick fog. Should you truly handle to complete all three injection websites, you’re swarmed with dozens of Shriekers.

Helldivers 2 is getting a hotfix for the Darkish Matter mission quickly

As you may see from the horror present above, the Darkish Fluid mission has been a nightmare for a lot of Helldivers 2 gamers, prompting Arrowhead to reply with information of a hotfix. Katherine “Baskinator” Baskin instructed gamers on the sport’s official Discord that the crew is engaged on a hotfix to assist with speedy Terminid spawns, which she confirms is a bug (not a function). Hopefully, that additionally means the skies gained’t quickly be darkened by numerous Shriekers as effectively.

I performed the mission final night time, and my expertise aligns with that of many others. Bile Titans would seem 15 ft from the Darkish Fluid drill and immediately assault, forcing the crew to scramble. We did handle to finish the mission with Gatling Turrets and littering the bottom with EAT-17 drops, however we didn’t make extraction. I used to be the final one alive, probably on account of my heavy armor, however couldn’t keep away from the Shrieker blender and died 20 seconds earlier than the Pelican arrived. Sorry, crew.

Every time that hotfix drops, I hope it’s quickly. The Main Order is ready to conclude early subsequent week. Gamers might must work time beyond regulation to get the mission finished. As of now, the Helldivers have made nearly no progress. It’s going to be a tough weekend.
