A current Helldivers 2 Main Order gave the impression to be aimed particularly at forcing gamers to unlock the Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem. One thing followers had been dodging each time it got here up. Nonetheless, this time, after they lastly gave up on the meme, they didn’t count on it to price Tremendous Schoolchildren their air.

The Main Order in query tasked the Helldivers 2 group with killing a complete of 1.5 billion enemies. In the event that they succeeded, Tremendous Earth wouldn’t give them the brand new mines as a result of the previous ones clearly labored. Failing the Main Order meant unlocking the Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem, and that’s precisely what occurred. We managed to get to about 50% of the general goal earlier than the Main Order ended, pondering the one factor we’d lose was the meme of all the time going in opposition to this Stratagem. However developer Arrowhead Sport Studios was ready to crush us.

Funding has to return from someplace

The developer shared the information that Anti-Tank Mines would go into speedy manufacturing on Twitter. The information was accompanied by what many people really feel was the completely essential intestine punch: the funding for these mines was being taken from money initially earmarked for schoolyard air enchancment.

Anti-Tank Mines and kids have a historical past in Helldivers 2. When gamers have been first given an opportunity to unlock the Stratagem, we failed it, after which we failed it a second time. After that, it grew to become a Stratagem that everybody all the time veered away from unlocking, which is why all of us fought to avoid wasting the sport’s fictional youngsters when the Stratagem reared its head but once more.

Now, after giving up within the face of what appeared like an inevitable battle in opposition to this Stratagem, we be taught that our laziness has impacted these youngsters we selected to avoid wasting once we clearly fought a lot more durable for our conviction. Contemplating we slaughtered 100 million Terminids in 3 hours, we should always have been ready to do that.

Person Emil sums up my emotions finest. “Oh no! What concerning the youngsters?” I’ve to say I’m sorely tempted to go along with person Yori’s suggestion on the Anti-Tank Mines “Let’s simply refuse this strat for ever lol,” although I can see that turning into problematic from a team-killing perspective.

There’s additionally one thing to notice about what this Stratagem unlock and its penalties say about our society. In spite of everything, Helldivers 2 is an accentuated model of the fashionable day that adores its navy slightly an excessive amount of. Hopefully, gamers could have an opportunity to avoid wasting the kids of Tremendous Earth’s colonies in a future Main Order to make up for this unintended atrocity.
