Fans are speculating that the tunnels being dug are the work of the Hive Lords from the first game, powerful bugs capable of breaking through the planet’s crust. Some players claim to have heard growling sounds coming from the holes. Efforts to contain the horde have failed, and there is a theory that younger bugs may be responsible for the smaller-sized tunnels, but concerns are raised about the possibility of adult Hive Lords appearing, posing a significant threat.
The potential for the rising Terminid threat is discussed, with sandworms creating intricate tunnels for their bug counterparts, leading to speculation of the need to destroy the entire planet to stop the threat. Leaked information regarding a “Dark Fluid Containment Device” and its use in a “Dark Fluid Research Station” objective suggests a weapon capable of destroying a world, with fan theories focusing on the possible creation of a black hole to deal with the threat. In the context of the Galactic War, the Helldivers are facing significant challenges, and the responsibility falls on the player to bring Managed Democracy to the masses.
