Properly, extra of an enormous shock. The Hive Lord, a bug the scale of a skyscraper, is now an enemy you would possibly encounter in Helldivers 2.

Whereas the Hive Lords appeared within the first Helldivers, they hadn’t but proven up within the sequel. Hive Lords had been hinted at within the replace’s trailer and have been teased in-game since launch.
