"All the complaining worked lmao" — Helldivers 2's new Rupture Strain enemies have been taken offline for weeks to fix balance issues, but I'm sad to see them go

Earlier this month, Arrowhead Game Studios' fan-favorite co-op shooter Helldivers 2 kicked off Super Earth's largest operation against the Terminids yet with the Into the Unjust update. In addition to initiating an expedition to planets deep within the dangerous Gloom miasma, the patch also introduced several new types of bugs that Helldivers can encounter in the field.

These include colossal Hive Lord worm bosses, huge winged Dragonroaches that are essentially flying Bile Titans, and a new sub-faction called the Rupture Strain with special versions of bugs that can burrow into the earth. Just a few short weeks after its arrival, though, the Rupture Strain has actually been taken offline.
