Simply as Helldivers 2 gamers celebrated their preliminary victory over the Automatons and moved onto a brand new Main Order, developer Arrowhead Sport Studios stepped in to drive them to make an extremely troublesome determination.

Yesterday, the Helldivers 2 neighborhood struck a blow for Tremendous Earth in opposition to the Automatons by lastly liberating Troost. This was the primary a part of an operation unfold throughout a number of Main Orders, and as soon as the second appeared, gamers leaped into motion, keen to take care of their momentum. As is so typically the case in conflict, although, the celebrations and victory had been short-lived, as Arrowhead Sport Studios revealed a transfer from the Automatons that’s going to separate gamers throughout the galaxy.

Helldivers 2 gamers face Automaton retaliation, and it may price them their goal

Helldivers 2 gamers are at present tackling Operation Swift Disassembly. Section I required them to assault and liberate a planet known as Troost, which itself was hidden behind a number of different planets alongside the sport’s provide traces. Section II is precisely the identical, with gamers aiming to take a planet known as Tibit by the top of the weekend.

However there’s a catch. The Automatons are defending themselves from Helldivers as Tremendous Earth’s best push in the direction of their objective, however they’re additionally attacking a planet that might see Helldivers kicked out of the sector totally: Draupnir. As you may see within the picture above, Drapnir is the planet on the right-hand aspect of the display screen that permits gamers to assault Ubanea, the planet neighboring the principle goal of Tibit.

If gamers lose the protection marketing campaign on Draupnir, it’ll fall again below Automaton management. With the best way provide traces work, this can imply gamers can now not entry Ubanea and will probably be compelled to retake Draupnir earlier than they will. In fact, the opposite route they may take is Malevelon Creek, higher generally known as House Vietnam, however that provide line would additionally require gamers to take the planet Durgen earlier than getting again to Ubanea.

As you may see, the developer is forcing gamers to make what looks like an unattainable determination. On the time of writing, we have now simply over two days to liberate Tibit. Liberating a whole planet takes roughly a day, although it’s often a little bit quicker on the weekend. If gamers don’t concentrate on defending Draupnir, it may price them this Main Order.

Nevertheless, many gamers are dropping onto Malevelon Creek, a lot to the Chagrin of others in the neighborhood, as a result of it’s an notorious world of conflict at this level and a logo of victory over the Automatons when it’s below Tremendous Earth’s management. Unusually, this Main Order is likely to be gained or misplaced based mostly on how a lot gamers need to chase a meme or make humorous movies on Malevelon Creek. If all of us ignore Draupnir, it may very well be a serious setback and trigger Operation Swift Disassembly to fail utterly.

I as soon as once more discover myself in awe of the thoughts video games Arrowhead Sport Studios can play with Helldivers 2 and the way unusually correct the conflict efforts from every faction really feel. The Automatons assault us the place it is sensible whereas the neighborhood struggles to align itself in a single course, inflicting chaos and confusion by means of which freedom can slip out of grasp.
