Helldivers 2 players have been issued a brand new Major Order, and it seems it's taking direct aim at all of the dedicated bug-squashing fans who aren't so enthusiastic about spilling oil from the deadly Automatons.

It seems that we'll have to wait a while longer before we can expect mechs to be added to Helldivers 2, as developer Arrowhead Game Studios has declared the factory planet Tien Kwan to be under attack.
Just this week, Arrowhead confirmed that the "EXO-45 Patriot Exosuits are in full production in the factories of Tien Kwan," which it teased would be ready to use on the shooter's battlefields "soon." Now though, things have changed, most likely down to the influence of Helldivers 2's mysterious Game Master, Joel, who was previously revealed to be the one pulling the strings on the events happening in the game, much like a Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master.
In a tweet shared today, Arrowhead writes: "THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Our factories are under attack, halting all output. Helldivers have been deployed to liberate Tien Kwan!" The poster shared along with the mech teaser from earlier in the week has been altered, and emblazoned with a notice which reads: "Production halted – Helldivers deployed to liberate."

For anyone who's been closely following the whole mech situation, this might be a little disappointing. Earlier today, a message began displaying in the game which stated: "The Advanced Liberation Tools Research Agency (ALTRA) has tested successful prototypes of a new combat asset. Helldivers are advised to review proper mechanical operation procedures in preparation for the incoming asset." Although mechs weren't directly named, some speculated that this notice could be referring to the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuits.
With the game's next major order of securing the Exosuits by liberating Tien Kwan now in full swing, many are wondering if the mechs could arrive after it's complete. For reference, the major order ends in three days on Sunday, March 10, and it also has a reward of 50 medals. We'll just have to focus our efforts on completing Joel's latest challenge for now.

Players all across the known galaxy converge on certain planets under the name of spreading Managed Democracy in the game Through immersive and organic storytelling reminiscent of the enigmatic gamemaster known as Joel shapes the greater narrative of the game as players contend with hordes of bugs and bots. One way Arrowhead Game Studios directs story efforts is by issuing Major Orders. These missions direct the overall strategy and aims of the playerbase.
Don't back down, double down. The Helldivers 2 propaganda machine is spinning up once again after the horrible flying Terminid bugs debuted in the game, something its creative director dismissed as "propaganda from bug sympathizers" when players first reported it.
Helldivers 2 is getting its first post-launch premium battle pass (also known as a ‘Warbond’) on March 14 and its bringing some electrifying new hardware for players to use in their valiant effort to spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy.
Helldivers 2 players are confidently taunting Game Master Joel after taking six planets, defending two, and capturing two whole sectors in just a few days of hard-hitting, democracy-spreading action. Something that's sparking fear in others afraid of the retaliation the overlord will inevitably bring.
Helldivers 2 players really want to be able to experience the game's best mission with some added challenge.
presents players with an abundance of different tools to eliminate the deadly armies of the Terminids and Automatons and Arrowhead Studios is giving fans some insight into how those Stratagems are created. One of the core components of the popular co-op shooter is the ability to call down equipment and support from the skies, most of which take the form of explosive air strikes or precision missile launches. They're undoubtedly one of the most fun aspects of and director Johan Pilestedt wants everyone to know how the team creates them.
Shortly after introducing exosuits to Helldivers 2, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has now issued a new major order for players to chase after. Having dealt with Automatons to quite an extent in the previous major order, the latest one now tasks Helldivers with permanently quarantining Terminids out of an entire sector of the galaxy.
Helldivers 2 has a brand new Major Order focusing on quarantining the Terminid threat, but players will need to rapidly liberate four players to clear the objective.
The latest update for Helldivers 2 has arrived and makes big adjustments to the spawn rates of heavy Terminid enemies like charges and bile titans, making higher difficulties slightly less punishing for some players. Arrowhead Game Studios continues to tweak the overall experience of Helldivers 2, especially now that many of the server and login issues experienced during the game's launch window have passed. Updates continue to roll out often, and new content continues to arrive.
If you've ever been in the middle of playing Helldivers 2 and wondered how one of the pesky terminids managed to track you down when it should never have seen you, there's a reason for that – they can smell you.
makes a point of recommending the use of firearms in the war for Super Earth but one player is going a completely different route. When there are countless Automatons and Terminids swarming the galaxy, it stands to reason that taking them out will require some heavy firepower either shot from orbit or through the barrel of a gun. Having said that, sometimes a dedicated Helldiver just needs to get down and dirty, trading in an Eagle Strafing Run for the butt of their rifle.
