I want to go home

Edit: it seems in my panic I was mistaken. Everything ELSE burrows while stalkers do their thing. So youre getting ambushed in 3 dimensions now.

We got too good at killin'

On the plus side, I think autocannon is actually great vs bugs in these missions, which is fun

I have yet to complete a Super Helldive and get out alive on a hive world lol.

Honestly the game was feeling a little too easy 2 weeks ago so I’m happy that “Super Helldive” is living up to its name.

Also I don’t think I could’ve enjoyed my first encounter with a hive lord more. A week ago I solo-dropped into a mission and couldn’t even make it to the tunnels before the ground tossed me into the air, then a skyscraper popped up and flattened me. It was exactly as terrifying and intimidating as it should have been and I could do jack shit about it because I didn’t bring any heavy air support strategems. Eventually more divers joined me in my struggle to survive and we managed to hang on for a few more minutes before we officially failed. Talk about a cinematic game. That was horrible and terrific and awesome and the fucking most difficult enemy I have ever seen in any PvE game. I’ve fought similarly enormous worms in Dead Space, Mass Effect, and God of War and beaten them as just a dude with a gun. I know there’s no chance of that in this game and I love it. Helldivers never die!!!

Wait till the bots bust out the AC6 Ice Worm

Underground Stalkers are not burrowing, but they are nasty all the same. Their cloaking is very efficient in poor lighting conditions.

I haven't seen any burrowing stalker, they're just invisible as usual - unless they only started appearing less than 8 hours ago?
