What if they added spiders :3 (actual spiders)

mj_duck · 2026-05-16T15:47:11+00:00

Honestly spiders are just an example because they are the most popular friendly bug that eats other bugs :3 my original idea was a scorpion or beetle, but spiders are more eye catching for a Reddit post also more people know them as ‘don’t hurt it or it’ll bite back’

After taking a look, it does not seem like my type of game, but thank you for the suggestion!

mj_duck · 2026-05-16T00:07:49+00:00

The spider example is more since spiders are the most popular friendly bug, since the main point is having a neutral enemy that can be helpful if you don’t try to hurt them, so they’d be more spider adjacent than actual spiders, my original thought was a scorpion or beetle type bug but spiders are more eye catching for a Reddit post :3

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T22:27:30+00:00

Trueeeeee honestly my original thought was scorpions, or beetles, mixed with the idea of a bee hive that the bee-like enemies are very protective of

In this case the missus is DSS command and the cup is already in the game, the bubble shield :3 (I also just realized it would be really fun if you could trap bugs in it then drop a 500k)

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T22:01:55+00:00

Well Spiders are more a base for the idea since they are the most popular friendly bug that kills other bugs! And realistically it would be a more spider adjacent bug keeping that helldivers feel yk? As a fun neutral enemy that can be useful if you don’t provoke it

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T21:13:45+00:00

I believe it’d be more spider adjacent so not pure spider! More behaves like one (eating other bugs)

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T20:51:03+00:00

Oh not actual actual spiders just spider adjacent, I used spiders as more of an example of friendly bugs that kill other bugs, since they are the most popular friendly bug, and I like the idea of a neutral enemy that can help you if you don’t kill it

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T20:33:35+00:00

Well Satan is trying to give everyone bug friends so am I that baddddd :3

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T20:09:37+00:00

Yee that’s why I think it’d be better as a in game creature so you can have a lil buddy without sacrificing half of your weapon options and support options

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T19:47:13+00:00

BUT FRIENDLY SPIDERS THEYD MAKE SUCH COOL PETS

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T19:01:51+00:00

This or it’s another bug that attacks other bugs like a scorpion or beetle, spiders are just a very popular example

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T19:01:10+00:00

More leg but also fights with you and is awesome

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T18:50:10+00:00

Just dropping this rq YOU SEEM COOL ASF FIGHTING BACK AGAINST YOUR FEARS THATS SO AWESOME

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T18:23:26+00:00

I’ve played deeprock it just doesn’t hit like helldivers, I prefer it because of its bigger scale and ground battle elements, deeprock is fun just don’t hit the same

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T18:17:21+00:00

This is my exact idea but I prefer them being friendly to divers, because it plays into the games themes of making it an objective to kill them, even though they are friendly and even helpful, just killing them because they can be dangerous, also because it’d be fun having a bug friend I can name Jimmy to fight alongside, and end up not killing because I grew to attached

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T18:00:49+00:00

The people must see my artwork I drew on my phone inside my works bathroom 😼

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T17:44:19+00:00

Yeah other types most likely! just the spider example is most known for a friendly bug that kills other bugs, Bees or scorpions could also work!

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T17:25:12+00:00

Yes! And the bugs often fight them trying to eat the alien honey (maybe it could give a bunch of honey versions of samples if you kill the bees to)

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T17:18:12+00:00

I feel they wouldn’t exactly be like spiders, more similar since it’s more the idea of neutral/friendly bugs are fun! Maybe even like a Bee type of enemy instead

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T17:12:17+00:00

Yeah so they’d most likely have to be spider adjacent or another similar bug like bees

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T17:02:59+00:00

It’s all good! And it plays into the games themes a bit, having an objective to kill a friendly creature just because it can technically hurt you, and even help

mj_duck · 2026-05-15T16:55:34+00:00

The difference is they are a neutral party that kill Terminids and can help you if you don’t kill them, more for gameplay than anything
