Helldivers 2 devs Arrowhead pull new Rupture Strain bugs offline for five weeks to fix their, er, bugs

Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have opted to pull a recently deployed variant of the shooter's Terminid bugs offline for five weeks, in order to fix issues with them. Yep, for now you can dive onto planets like Oshaune and explore some Into the Unjust update caves without having to worry about burrowing bugs jumping out to mercilessly kick your bottom.


Rupture Warriors have been the main source of Rupture Strain ire since their arrival at the start of this month, as their ability to pop out of the Earth and instantly murder unsuspecting troops has proven tough to counter. At first, those hosting sessions were most at risk of dying like this, but Arrowhead's attempt to rectify the issue in Tuesday's patch seemingly put everyone in each party in an equal amount of danger, though some players did dispute this was the case.

A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Arrowhead's next game after Helldivers 2

Update: Bah! Jorjani has clarified on Reddit that by "next game" he didn't mean Helldivers 3. On the brighter side, this raises the possibility of a new Magicka game. Thanks Gamesradar for the follow-up.


Original story follows: Helldivers 3, or whatever they call the follow-up to Helldivers 2, may have a social hub in the style of Destiny's Tower, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has told the Helldiverati in a new Q&A.
