Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced Helldivers 2 soldiers are \u201cagents of the Absolute\u201d Helldivers 2, Baldur’s Gate 3Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players claim they\u2019ve spotted a connection to Helldivers 2 with a new mission type that sees players escorting a larva, one that\u2019s giving BG3 players some flashbacks to mind flayers. These two fandoms have come together thanks to a worm. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players, already familiar with tadpoles that infect brains and make their hosts pawns of the Absolute, see similarities in Helldivers 2\u2019s latest update. The teaser for Helldivers 2\u2019s Escalation of Freedom update showcases a new backpack with a crying larva. BG3 fans took to the game\u2019s Reddit forum, drawing parallels between the two games\u2019 lore. The owner of the post asserted, in Lae\u2019zel\u2019s voice, \u201cTsk\u2019va, the helldivers are agents of the Absolute.\u201d One cheeky player remarked, \u201cI just know Lae\u2019zel would have 3000 hours in this game.\u201d Another added, \u201cLae\u2019zel would be the person flamethrowing allies and then refusing to reinforce them if she feels they aren\u2019t carrying their weight.\u201d One player came to Helldivers 2\u2019s defense, explaining, \u201cUh, they\u2019re capturing it for research purposes so they can be more effective at killing the bugs. They totally would drop a 500kg bomb on the Absolute.\u201d Considering that Helldivers 2 focuses on battling alien threats to reclaim human-colonized worlds, that statement seems spot-on. Even in the original Reddit post from the Helldivers 2 subreddit, players weren\u2019t completely sold on this worm backpack. They\u2019re puzzled as to why players are tasked with collecting bugs instead of blasting them. Despite the playful banter and wild speculation, both games are thriving. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is gearing up for Patch 7, while Helldivers 2 fans eagerly await the Escalation of Freedom update. It\u2019s delightful to see the communities intersect, even if it\u2019s just over an invertebrate connection. It seems worms can bring people together, or at least get them talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
