Helldivers 2’s newest order certain appears to be like like a setup for gamers to liberate their very own mech fits… for democracy!

Helldivers 2 has introduced the newest twist in its galactic conflict, and it is one that may have Helldivers speeding in en masse. The planet underneath assault by the Automatons is Tien Kwan, a reputation that can be acquainted to any liberty-loving patriot who noticed Arrowhead’s mech tease a couple of days in the past: Yep, that is the place the place they make mechs.

Now, the query of why an Automaton may need an exosuit is simply the kind of commie response I would count on from somebody who is not at the moment diving into Tien Kwan at a price of knots. Make no mistake that if these robots pay money for extra robotic bits they’re going to most likely be comforted or one thing, and such shall not be tolerated.

That is the type of scenario the place one title goes to be on each participant’s lips: Joel. The Helldivers 2 sport grasp is watching over the sport’s meta-structure for moments comparable to this, and irrespective of what number of troopers Tremendous Earth sends, the Automatons will not be taking place simply: the entire job is making certain that the reside service aspect does not really feel like most each different sport.

Although the sport has solely been out for a couple of weeks, the Tien Kwan liberation follows on from one of many sport’s first nice emergent moments. The liberation of Veld noticed an absolute flood of gamers, stung by collectively failing the earlier main order, swarming that planet as quickly because the order to take action was given. The opening hours made it appear to be this was going to be a cakewalk. Then somebody fiddled with some dials and issues bought very difficult and messy.

Helldivers 2 has come completely roaring out of the gate, and reveals no indicators of slowing down. The sport simply obtained its first main stability patch, which confirmed Arrowhead is not scared to go in with the nerfhammer the place it is wanted (and wow, can these chaingun gamers moan about it). And in different metagame information, there’s an much more intriguing prospect: some gamers suppose Arrowhead’s been ‘leaking’ unreleased parts into random video games.
