DespiteHelldivers 2players being encouraged to move away from their enthusiastic bug-squashing in favor of some brutal bot-smashing, there are still a surprising amount of Helldivers not joining in on the latest Major Order, which isn’t very democratic of them.
Yesterday, galactic game master Joel decided that the fight against Helldivers 2’s Terminids is going to be put on hold, at least for now. The latest Major Order calls for players toliberate the Automaton-occupied planet Troost, after interrogated bots let slip that they’re planning something called “The Reclamation.” Speculation is already running rampant that these could be plans for the reclamation of the Cyborg home planet Cyberstan, but either way, we need to destroy bots ASAP as part of Operation Swift Disassembly. After all, the Ministry of Defense said that the ultimate goal of the operation is"the total destruction of all Automatons,“and who are we to refuse?
Perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised. After all, up to this point, it’s been obvious thatAutomatons are far less popular to fight than the Terminids, with consistently lower player counts. Naturally, since the new Major Order began, some players have expressed their disinterest in joining in: “Not to have negative thoughts about my government, but I like killing bugs more,” one Helldivertweets. “I don’t like the Automatons,“admitsanother.
Of course, it’s important to keep in mind that, ultimately, having fun is what matters most, not completing every single objective, but don’t tell the good folks of Super Earth I said that.
Currently, there are less than three days to go before the Major Order ends, and there’s still a lot of progress to be made. Before we can get to Troost, efforts are currently focused on Vandalon IV, which is over four percent liberated now. Let’s just hope we’ll be able to pull it off in the end.
