I like to think I’m a very patient person, able to put up with any life challenge with a smile on my face. I’m well-behaved, polite, and forgiving. But there’s one thing that reliably drives me into a fury, turning me into an enraged and incoherent fool. That would be one of the most irritating video game enemies of all time: the Stalker from Helldivers 2, a bug that somehow feels like it is trying to target me, specifically, due to some deeply personal grudge.

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has thrown out plenty of unexpected surprises, like a suicide mission to a bug-infested planet that ripped open a black hole, or a shocking Automaton........
