Today, October 26, marks Helldivers 2’s special in-game holiday, known as Liberty Day. In celebration of this occasion, Arrowhead has launched a limited-time browser game called Whack-a-Terminid. As the name suggests, this game challenges players to smash Terminids with their shovels as they appear on the screen, reminiscent of the classic whack-a-mole but with a political twist.
“Sweet liberty! Line up to WHACK A TERMINID! Available today only! We made this bit from last year’s LD schedule a reality. Play now! Leaderboards will be published later today in the HD2 discord!”
Earn points by successfully hitting bugs while avoiding friendly fire—hitting fellow Helldivers will cost you points! This fun distraction is only available today, making it a special treat for fans of Helldivers 2. Dive in quick, as scores will later be tracked via Discord leaderboards.
Let’s hope for a future return of this entertaining minigame, especially since it’s shown a good deal of effort and creativity from its creators!
