Tremendous Earth simply can’t catch a break these days. As Helldivers 2‘s Operation Swift Disassembly quickly strikes from one theatre of battle to the subsequent, so too will we uncover extra of the Automatons’ plot to liberate Cyberstan. The newest information suggests one horrific improvement: flying Automaton dropships.

Certainly, Helldiver forces have been remarkably profitable in severing some key Automaton provide traces to get extra details about what’s occurring behind the scenes. But, issues could also be about to warmth up like by no means earlier than, as we’ve acquired updates that there’s a “new Automaton sort” being developed on the sly: aerial gunships. If this doesn’t ring a bell or two, would possibly we level out that one thing delightfully comparable occurred with the Terminid, too, as bug flyers started spawning in ever-greater numbers following the Termicide deployment operations.

Regardless of the case could also be, Helldivers look like on a crash course with one thing that might problem Tremendous Earth’s aerial superiority within the low environment.

Flying Automatons are coming to Helldivers 2

The neighborhood is, in fact, already reeling from this improvement, nevertheless it’s not all grim tidings simply but. Very lately, Tremendous Earth issued two compelling new Stratagem help selections through the Arsenal Growth Discover: the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun. Whereas the MG-101 is at present considerably held again by its excessive hearth price and questionable spare ammo capability, the Quasar is a delightfully environment friendly weapon that may simply cope with something and every little thing thrown its approach. Automaton Dropships, particularly, are simple pickings for the Quasar, and the weapon is certain to show helpful towards the closely armed Automaton Gunships, too.

It will get higher, although: Joel lately started shelling out armored personnel carriers to random Helldiver fireteams, permitting them to maneuver throughout Automaton terrain with relative ease. It’s not inconceivable that the APC may be getting formally surprise-released the identical approach the 2 aforementioned heavy armaments have been, which might permit Helldivers at massive to extra simply cope with flying Automaton forces.

In response to Tremendous Earth, the manufacturing of the navy’s “simplest anti-air weaponry” has been accelerated, so extra goodies ought to be on the best way sooner somewhat than later. Odds are good that the primary correct look of Automaton Gunships isn’t that far out, both.
