With the current Major Order looking all but complete, Helldivers 2 players are attempting to rally their fellow soldiers to the fight on Mantes. The issue, though, is that plenty of people don't fancy the fight against the Automatons.

Mechs are set to make their arrival in Helldivers 2 in the very near future, but there is still one small thing standing in their way. The mechs' production factories are under attack, it turns out, and it's going to be up to players to liberate them.
«THIS IS NOT A DRILL,» the Helldivers 2 social media team proclaimed earlier today, stating a recent (fictional) attack has halted all mech output. «Helldivers have been deployed to liberate Tien Kwan!»
Based on this post, it seems like we will soon be sent to Tien Kwan to deal with whatever pest is currently tormenting those poor, sweet, mech factories, and to liberate their metal machines.

Earlier this week, the Helldivers 2 team announced a new patch for PC and PS5. This patch introduced planetary hazards, balancing updates for a select number of weapons, and a variety of fixes. It sounds like Game Master Joel is having a lot of fun behind the scenes, and, honestly, I am here for it.
With the current Major Order looking all but complete, Helldivers 2 players are attempting to rally their fellow soldiers to the fight on Mantes. The issue, though, is that plenty of people don't fancy the fight against the Automatons.
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.
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.
There is no shortage of big bugs to tackle in Helldivers 2, not least the colossal Terminids known as Bile Titans, but if the latest fan theory is to be believed, a much bigger and more formidable foe is on the way.
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.
With mechs finally available for players to pilot, Helldivers 2 fans are already disappointed by the underwhelming launch of the EXO-45 exosuits within the game. The newest release from Arrowhead Game Studios has already seen massive success within just a month of its release, selling millions of units across its PC and PS5 versions. Arrowhead would report Helldivers 2 had sold 3 million units less than three weeks following its debut, becoming one of Steam's best-selling games. Now, a new addition to the game has left players conflicted.
