Helldivers 2's Enemies Have A Creepy Way Of Tracking Down Players

As the community continues to fight in Super Earth's galactic war, one dedicated play has envisioned a simple yet effective solution to one of the game's persistent problems: Supply lines. While Arrowhead Studios does an excellent job of introducing mechanics and concepts to players, one aspect that isn't clarified when starting up the game is how interplanetary travel works. Fortunately, with such a committed player base, it didn't take long for players to learn about supply lines but despite the discovery, many are still unclear on how they actually work.

A new threat is emerging on the Automaton front in , and it may be significant enough to turn the tide of battle. Arrowhead Game Studios' third-person co-op shooter has excelled as a live-service title through its ongoing story, in which players are embroiled in the Galactic War as Super Earth's elite Helldiver units. So far, the Helldivers have seen more success than failure, but a new Automaton enemy could put Super Earth's latest offensive in jeopardy.

success keeps continuing, and with every Major Order issued by High Command, the game keeps improving. That's not to say it's perfect, however — as one unfortunate mechanic may actually result in the game crashing completely. Though is packed with hours of fun content, the game itself can sometimes be buggy, which is not that surprising considering it was just released in February. One unfortunate bug, however, may ruin a squad's fun completely.

added its first new Terminid enemy to the game, but they are more dangerous when players least expect them. has introduced a welcome update trend of releasing new content consistently and often as the result of player actions. This has kept players on their toes for updates at any time, but also kept retention and support for the game. The game is set to recieve a new Warbond every month as well, so it would seem that available Helldiving equipment will continue to evolve alongside new enemies and mission types.

As progresses and sees more updates to both help and harm Helldivers, the Automatons may be about to unleash the worst enemy yet. already has a handful of powerful enemies in both factions, like the Bile Titan or Hulk that strike fear in the hearts of players. Many of these tough enemies are heavily armored units that are not easy to kill but can easily kill Super Earth's Helldivers. Luckily, new weapons and timely balance changes have helped lessen the strain that harder difficulties were causing.

One of the toughest Terminid enemies to fight in is the Bile Titan, but bringing the right grenade makes them easier to kill. has a plethora of heavily armored enemies that are major annoyances for players, and while they rarely spawn at lower levels, they can still heavily complicate missions. On the highest difficulty, Helldive, these enemies often spawn in packs and can easily overwhelm Helldivers, leading to a failed mission.

boasts delightfully intricate gameplay systems, and people are still discovering not-so-hidden mechanics and features to exploit. Some features are relatively intuitive, found naturally by simply completing missions. In the chaos of Terminid and Automaton combat, however, Helldivers are hard-pressed simply to survive from one skirmish to another. In the pandemonium, many of the game’s unique mechanics hide in plain sight – in view but out of focus.

For players having trouble with the overbearing difficulty of 's hardest operations, the game's newest booster could offer an easy solution. As part of 's ongoing battle pass system, the recently added Cutting Edge Warbond has introduced several new weapons, armor pieces, and cosmetics to the game — and, while not every new piece of equipment has proven to be effective in every situation, the Warbond does hold some potent options for high-difficulty missions.

Super Earth's galactic war in never rests and based on some recent clips, the fight is about to become a whole lot more frantic. Following the game's launch, the community has already been spread thin fighting on two separate fronts in an effort to push back the enemy forces of the insectioid aliens known as the Terminids and the deadly robots called the Automatons. If that wasn't challenging enough a third faction is seemingly creeping into but it should be familair to anyone who played the original game.

is already filled with gigantic enemies but one knowledgeable player may have just stumbled upon another huge monster that could be added to the game in a future update. While the ever-popular sequel to the original game brought with it plenty of returning foes, there are a few key players in the galactic war that have yet to make the jump. However, a recent discovery suggests that a powerful type of Terminid that's thus far been missing is actually hiding under players' noses.

As a major part of 's ongoing Galactic War, Major Orders task the entire playerbase with defending or liberating certain planets, sometimes representing significant milestones in the game's overarching narrative. However, with how the mechanics of liberating planets function, Major Orders can sometimes be unexpectedly difficult to complete, even with the majority of the game's active players focusing on contributing to the war effort. Alongside some other notable factors, like the involvement of a GM overlooking the overall progress and advancement of the war, Major Orders can pose a tougher challenge than players might expect.

Although it may be many months away, players should mark October 26 in their calendars now. Historically, this day holds significance within the community, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios is likely to have something in store to celebrate it.
