But not all monsters can smell players.
Some enemies in Helldivers 2 can find players not only visually or by the sounds they make, says Arrowhead studio head Johan Pilestedt. Some beetles, for example, have a sense of smell.
Thanks to this, monsters can find hidden players: they simply follow the trail. However, Pilestedt argues, the sense of smell only works at a short distance, so monsters can still hide.

Everything must have a meaning. Enemies, for example, have vision, hearing, and some of them can smell [игроков] within a small radius. [Враги] those with especially well-developed senses can find you even if they can’t see you.
Pilestedt did not specify whether the developers plan to develop stealth mechanics and add new features for players trying to act more or less unnoticed. The current version of Helldivers 2 is usually played differently: players simply try to kill as many enemies as possible.
Judging by the content found by enthusiasts, the developers are now creating new equipment and opponents from a new faction. We don't know yet when they will appear in Helldivers 2.
This is interesting
