Helldivers 2 gets new missions in which you play the babysitter for beetle larvae and shoot your way through huge hordes.
How do you become a bug babysitter? With the upcoming update for Helldivers 2, a new mission will be added to the co-op shooter that will make you a kind of babysitter for beetle larvae. While you usually shoot your way through huge hordes of enemies, you will now have to kidnap their larvae and transport them across the map. In doing so, you must protect yourself from attacking hordes of insects.
As you transport the larva across the map, its screaming naturally attracts huge numbers of Terminids. These attack you in droves and ensure that you don’t get bored while transporting it.

Which game does the new mission remind you of? The larva in its glass container is very reminiscent of Death Stranding, the end-time game by Hideo Kojima. In Death Stranding, you always have a baby in a container with you, which you carry as you travel through the map.
Although Death Stranding is a world without other players, you can still support each other through messages and buildings that other players can see and use. This makes Death Stranding the loneliest multiplayer game.
What other content does the update bring? “Escalation of Freedom” includes, among other things, a new difficulty level, larger enemy outposts and new enemies on the Terminid and Robot side.
On top of that, a new system is being introduced that protects your loot if the host of a mission kicks you out of the lobby shortly before the end. Until the very end, you have lost all the samples you have collected if you are kicked: Helldivers 2 brings a new system that saves your loot if undemocratic bastards ruin the game for you
