Helldivers 2has a new Major Order that acknowledges the swanky, diver-killing Democracy Space Station’s recent antics, but ultimately says, don’t worry about that and go and test out some machine guns for us while “system recalibrations continue.”
Looking atHelldivers.io, it’s a tad too early to tell what the favorite is at the time of writing, though divers loyal to Super Earth are going about the task with democracy-charged enthusiasm.
“After several battles in multiple systems, The Democracy Space Station has now proven itself a tool for galactic liberation with undeniably nonzero utility,” the Major Order reads. “While system recalibrations continue, the Helldivers can count on the support from their new super weapon to take out everything in its path between now and full Freedom.
“But standard weapons also require constant re-evaluation, which is why the Ministry of Defense is asking the Helldivers to conduct a machine gun weapons efficacy review.”
Helldiver 2’s Democracy Space Station hasbeen built over the course of many Major Ordersover the past few months, though itdidn’t quite have the launch many hoped for.It does a good job at shelling planets and taking out enemy bots and bugs, which is good, but it can also take out your fellow divers, which is kind of funny but ultimately not good. Developer Arrowhead has since said thatthe team needs to “own that and adapt,“but for now, you’ve got some machine guns to test while that happens.
After awards haul, Helldivers 2 devs lament the “dire state” of the games industry: “We need to be there to help each other.”
