Having failed a Major Order, the long-avoided Anti-Tank Mines are making their way intoHelldivers 2, and Super Earth’s children are about to suffer as a result.
Helldivers 2 players were just threatened with the Anti-Tank Minesin a new Major Order over the last few days. If they didn’t slay 1.5 billion Terminids in the time allowed, the mines would be unleashed upon them, a cruel twist after players have spent the better part of two monthsactively avoiding unlocking the mines after they chose to save childrenover unlocking the new Stratagem.
Unfortunately, as of August 6, the ongoing Major Order has been failed spectacularly, and so the Anti-Tank mines have finally been unleashed. In an even crueler twist, Super Earth’s government writes in the announcement below that just about everything has been halted to produce said mines, including a project to clean the air for schools.
So, after going to extreme lengths to save the lives of countless children earlier this year, Helldivers 2 players have now unlocked the Anti-Tank Mines while simultaneously harming children in the process. Somewhat surprisingly, responses to the tweet above are more distressed at actually having unlocked the mines than at the children suffering.
The Anti-Tank Mines look set to go live alongside theHelldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom update, which just launched a matter of hours ago. The new update has also snuck in new optional objectives like the Automaton human processing plant, which I can only hope is about as nightmarish as it sounds.
