Helldivers 2 players are celebrating a dramatic 11th-hour victory that saw hundreds of thousands of the digital soldiers unite to defend 10 worlds from the undemocratic grip of advancing bug-like Terminids, and soulless Automatons. However, some members of the community have found themselves wondering whether Arrowhead’s game master Joel may have stacked the odds in their favor to stave off defeat.
Helldivers 2 dev recommends letting the game "rest" to fix frequent crashes as over 230,000 divers fight to squash the Automatons this weekend

Helldivers 2's ongoing Major Order has commanded soldiers to finally squash the mechanized Automatons on the western front, but unfortunately, frequent crashes threaten to jeopardize the weekend's operation, and one developer recommends letting the game "rest."
This weekend's Major Order sent players to liberate the planets of Tibit, Maia, and Durgen. Helldivers 2 players were initially skeptical about their chances of success - especially with new Gunships and factories entering the fray - but Super Earth forces have now spread democracy to two of those planets, with over 18 hours remaining to capture the third.
More than 200,000 Helldivers are currently fighting the good fight on Durgen, a valiant effort that's been slightly disrupted by reports of frequent crashing over the weekend. I've been kicked from a number of missions myself this weekend due to these issues.
Community manager Twinbeard has now acknowledged the problem and announced that "a hotfix for the crashes is coming" over on the game's Discord, in a message reposted to Reddit. That fix won't be coming this weekend, however, so completing the Major Order might be trickier than otherwise expected.
"Hang in there or perhaps let the game rest for a while," Twinbeard recommends. "I feel you and glad to hear you love the game, but it will be here waiting even if you let democracy lie for a few days."
Helldivers usually follow Super Earth's every order - tyrannical or otherwise - but in this one instance, players were not willing to comply. "I wouldn't mind letting the game rest for a bit if there wasn't a MO going on," one Redditor commented. "Looks like Twinbeard was hacked by an enemy socialist bot to prevent us from freeing their last planet," another joked. Onwards to Durgen, then.
Victory is almost here - though the Helldivers 2 studio expected “a lot less players” to join the Automaton battle.

One Huge Problem With Helldivers 2 High Command Needs To Change Or The Game Could Die
took the gaming industry by storm back in February 2024, quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase and community around the live-service title. Although it still boasts an impressive player base, a couple of months later, the numbers have begun to dwindle from the initial highs that it once enjoyed. This is to be expected with any title since the gaming industry moves on quickly, and games cannot be expected to hold onto unsustainable numbers, but there is something can do to stem the bleeding.

No One's Talking About This Missing Helldivers 2 Faction From The First Game
borrows a lot of things from the first game, but skips out on multiple enemy factions — not just the Illuminate. At launch and up until the time of writing, Helldivers 2 has had two enemy factions: the Terminids (Bugs) and the Automatons (Bots). However, with the recent total success of the Major Order "", it appears the Automatons have finally been eradicated once and for all. Of course, there's always a chance they'll return, but for the time being, players are left to wonder what comes next.
