Even Helldivers 2 Fans Are Saying ‘We are ready to sh*t our pants’ After Arrowhead’s Cryptic Update

The drought of fresh content in Helldivers 2 might soon come to an explosive end, if Arrowhead Game Studios’ recent teases are anything to go by. After weeks of what many players have dubbed “filler Major Orders,” the community’s patience is finally being rewarded with hints of something substantial on the horizon.

When asked about upcoming content on Discord, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani responded with a statement that sent the community into a frenzy: “you’ll sh*t your pants.”

This delightfully on-brand response has sparked equal parts excitement and speculation, with players wondering what could possibly warrant such a bold claim from Super Earth’s development overlords.

The community prepares their undergarments

The Helldivers 2 community, never one to miss an opportunity for humor, has embraced that scatological prophecy with open arms. Players are now actively looking forward to the promised pants-soiling experience, turning what could have been a standard developer tease into a community-wide joke.

One Redditor posted a comparison between elaborate developer roadmaps and Arrowhead‘s blunt communication style:

The context makes it even more amusing. When a concerned player asked about upcoming content to help keep enthusiasm alive (linked

), Jorjani skipped the corporate-speak and went straight for the intestines. This direct communication style has become something of a hallmark for Arrowhead, setting them apart from other developers who might respond with vague promises or silence.

Some fans have embraced the prophecy with religious fervor. One commenter solemnly declared:

Some fans have taken the opportunity to blend Helldivers’ signature over-the-top patriotism with fast food references, creating a uniquely American expression of excitement:

In fact, the camaraderie among players has reached new levels, with Helldivers offering to assist each other in their moments of scatological crisis—for a price, of course:

After all, even in matters of soiled pants, managed democracy demands proper compensation.

What could possibly make Helldivers soil their armor?

While Arrowhead keeps its cards close to its chest, several clues point to what might be coming. The May 8 Warbond announcement is just the beginning, with a mysterious “DJ Guard Dog’s Singularity Party” scheduled for May 13 at Widow’s Harbor raising eyebrows across the community:

The timing of these events, combined with Jorjani’s pants-soiling promise, suggests something much ******* than a standard content drop. Recent leaks have fueled speculation about potential collaborations, with some players even theorizing about a Warhammer 40K crossover after dataminers discovered files referencing a “Chainsword” weapon.

Arrowhead’s approach to communication isn’t without its critics, however. Some players have expressed frustration with the lack of clear communication about upcoming content. But as one commenter thoughtfully explained:

This approach creates a unique hype cycle where players are constantly on alert for surprise content drops. The May 13 event, coming just days after the Warbond reveal, fits perfectly into this pattern of surprise and delight that has defined Helldivers 2′s post-launch support.

Whether it’s the full-fledged return of the Illuminate, a major collaboration, or something entirely unexpected, one thing is clear: Helldivers should prepare their undergarments for whatever freedom-spreading challenges await.
