Helldivers 2 devs tell players to put down the lightning guns to prevent the game from freezing, which sounds like a Terminid in disguise to me

Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 players, defenders of democracy, we have word from above that lightning guns are causing the game to freeze up... which is exactly what a Terminid in disguise would say if it were trying to, oh, I don't know, thwart our plans to rid planets of their treachery using lightning. We. Must. Resist.

No but seriously, you should probably stop using lightning guns for the time being. As much fun as it is writing news from the perspective of the characters in the game, Arrowhead, the actual, real-life studio that made Helldivers 2, is explicitly saying that three specific guns are likely responsible for frequent freezes that real-life players are actually experiencing.
