Planets in Helldivers 2 are filled with locations to explore and liberate. The latest patch introduced a seemingly new point of interest, Fog Generators. Luckily for players, Fog Generators are nothing new, so here’s everything you need to know about them.
Demystifying Helldivers 2's Difficulty (or Lack Thereof) [cc]
Mist generators in Helldivers 2 are also known as Spore Spewers and are random side targets on Terminid planets. You can encounter these structures on Challenging (level four) difficulty missions and above.
These structures resemble giant mushrooms and generate dense green fog in the vicinity. It can be difficult to see the Fog Generator if you are in the cloud, so try to get a vantage point, as the structure is often higher than the fog itself. You can also look for a structure with yellow glowing lights. Just try not to confuse it with the Shrieker Nest. The nest is usually larger and has multiple mushroom-like structures, while the Fog Generator only has one.
The only way to get rid of the fog is to remove the generator, and with the latest patch, Spore Spewer's health and armor have been increased. To destroy the Fog Generator in Helldivers 2, you need to use a support weapon or a Stratagem that can destroy buildings.
