Helldivers 2’s most up-to-date replace has put Tremendous Earth in huge hassle. An enormous Illuminate invasion scythed straight by the outer planets belonging to humanity, placing proper on the Coronary heart of Democracy. Illuminate thralls stalk the streets whereas huge floating Leviathan creatures bombard courageous Helldivers from beneath.
In these darkish instances, Tremendous Earth appears for a hero, one who will unite humanity in a shared trigger and liberate Tremendous Earth from the Illuminate menace. Certainly, the Helldivers await their equal of Dune’s Lisan al-Gaib. And the excellent news is, they could simply have discovered them.
Over on r/Helldivers, the aptly named Helldivers 2 participant Lovely-Injury7738 shared a video of themselves driving one of many aforementioned Leviathans. Titled “Leviathan Browsing”, the video depicts Lovely-Damage standing atop a constructing, waving the flag of democracy as one of many large creatures approaches, earlier than utilizing the sport’s just lately added jetpack to hover over and land on the Leviathan’s again.

To be clear, you are probably not supposed to do that, however Helldivers 2’s dedication to mechanical consistency (and normal disregard for Helldiver security) means that you may. “I spent longer than I want to admit setting this up”, admits Lovely-Damage. The video would not present the setup for the trip. But it surely’s clear that Lovely-Damage used the jetpack to summit one of many newly added skyscrapers that cowl the floor of Tremendous Earth. The trick seems to be discovering a construction that’s climbable whereas additionally being the suitable top to soundly land on the Leviathan’s again.
From there, it is a easy case of hanging on, which Lovely-Damage manages for a full two minutes. That is trickier than it’d sound, as whereas Leviathans do not actively attempt to throw you off, they do undulate whereas flying, making it straightforward to slip off and plummet to your demise.
On Reddit, the video instantly drew comparisons to the sandworm-riding scene from final yr’s Dune: Half Two, with quite a few fellow redditors declaring Lovely-Damage to be Helldivers 2’s very personal Lisan al-Gaib.
Sadly, our hero and saviour wasn’t round for for much longer. Because the Leviathan drifted out of the fight zone, Lovely-Damage was focused by the anti-desertion artillery that forestalls Helldivers from straying past the map, and finally blown to smithereens by the very individuals he was destined to guide. Actually, you could not ask for a extra becoming ending, and it is precisely what would have occurred to Timothee Chalamet had Dune: Half Two been directed by Joel.
In the meantime, the battle rumbles on. Harvey dropped in to do his half for Tremendous Earth a couple of days in the past, and had a blast inflicting tens of millions in property harm whereas attending a couple of ad-hoc Illuminate raves. The broader HD2 group, in the meantime, has fallen head over heels for the brand new NPC SEAF troops. And I do not imply they’ve had their ft blown off by Illuminate ordnance.
