If you were one of the Helldivers 2 players who’d been hoping they’d get to see what Arrowhead had in store if the Automatons were to reach Super Earth, I’m afraid you might want to sit down. Thanks to the latest Major Order, it seems you’re no longer likely to succeed in letting the bots barge down the front door of the divers home planet.
That’s right, the whole player-driven protest movement against balancing changes which had set its sights on letting the baddies reach Super Earth, and had morphed into a bit of a roleplaying movement in properly Helldivers fashion, has run into a roadblock - people who just want to kill things and aren’t averse to obeying orders.
Late last week, speculation had been rife among those intent on calling Arrowhead’s bluff galactic war-wise that the studio wouldn’t have new worldspaces and assets ready to go if the conflict were to reach Super Earth. Enter a new MO over the weekend, which has already seen a key planet that’d fallen into bot hands be retaken by the Helldivers.
