Helldivers 2 player embraces their inner Lisan al-Gaib, discovering a way to surf on the back of the game's giant floating Leviathans: 'I spent longer than I would like to admit setting this up'

Helldivers 2's most recent update has put Super Earth in big trouble. A massive Illuminate invasion scythed straight through the outer planets belonging to humanity, striking right at the Heart of Democracy. Illuminate thralls stalk the streets while vast floating Leviathan creatures bombard brave Helldivers from below.

In these dark times, Super Earth looks for a hero, one who will unite humanity in a shared cause and liberate Super Earth from the Illuminate menace. Indeed, the Helldivers await their equivalent of Dune's Lisan al-Gaib. And the good news is, they may just have found them.
