Helldivers 2 Game Master Joel has been introducing unexpected developments over the past few weeks, and this week is no exception. The ongoing events in the Galactic War and beyond are detailed below. The Automatons unexpectedly emerged and posed a threat to Super Earth, but players were able to hold their ground and successfully defend the planet Marfark against the massive Striders deployed by the Automatons.
Subsequently, players were tasked with farming Terminids in preparation for a counter-offensive against the Automatons. However, a significant twist saw this Major Order completed in just 12 hours, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the Helldivers community. Currently, players are engaged in Operation Enduring Bulwark, facing assaults from both Terminids and Automatons.
However, the likelihood of success is low due to the overwhelming tasks and limited time, as community manager Spitz acknowledged. Unfortunately, a bug in the game is affecting player activity tracking and display, creating uncertainty regarding the impact of missions on planet liberation. The developers are actively working to address this issue.
Helldivers 2, the sequel to the third-person shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios, continues to immerse players in the Galactic War, presenting challenges that force decision-making and collaboration within the community.
