The latestHelldivers 2 Major Orderhas commenced, and it’s bad news for the Automatons. Game Master Joel demands we liberate three worlds controlled by the bucket heads in just three days.
The Major Order went into effect today, April 4, and challenges allHelldivers 2players toliberate all Automaton planets, with Tibit, Durgen, and Maia, being the final three planets located in the Automaton-controlled sector of the Galactic War table.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a slow battle of attrition. Last month, we examined how manyHelldivers 2 players think fighting the Automatons just isn’t fun. Others faced an uphill battle in persuading their comrades to head to the Automaton front and fend off the horrible bots.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if attitudes towards the bots have only gotten worse since then. Just in the last week, we’ve had the arrival of theHelldivers 2 Gunships, which pummel players from above with barrages of rockets and laser cannon fire. This is to say nothing of thetowering Automaton Factory Stridersthat have also debuted alongside the new Gunships earlier this week.
Thankfully, players have received new tools to counter the Automatons.Helldivers 2 players bloody love the new Quasar Cannon Stratagemfor its destructive capabilities in taking out bot dropships and Gunships with just one hit, and it’s now largely seen as the go-to heavy weapon when you’re battling the Automatons. Perhaps this will empower Helldivers 2 players to head to the Automaton frontlines and finish the fight against the bots, once and for all.
