Helldivers 2 players might be in a spot of trouble, as they suspect they've sighted massive cloaked warships above Automaton-based worlds.
Following a new Major Order, Helldivers 2 players have been going big on Malevelon Creek, to the point where they liberated the hellish world in just a few hours. It's not all good news, though - according to the images below, Helldivers 2 players think they've spotted what appear to be gigantic shrouded warships in the atmosphere above Automaton worlds like Malevelon Creek.
The first and second images are arguably the most convincing of the bunch, showing strange cloaked objects high above the hapless Helldivers, carving out menacing figures against the atmosphere.
"I've seen two just now," chimes in the player below, further providing pretty convincing evidence about the whole debacle. "I thought they were bugged super destroyers at first, then I saw a super destroyer next to it and considering these are probably much further away, they're massive," another adds. One player hypothesizes that we might even be boarding Automaton ships like these, but that's a lot of wishful thinking.
Some players aren't convinced, though. "It just looks like a low poly LOD of a destroyer that is incorrectly getting loaded into the scene much closer than it should be," writes one player, and another agrees that it's likely the "correct and boring answer" for the entire situation. Despite the admittedly convincing evidence, we could simply be looking at a minor technical error.
Elsewhere, Helldivers 2's new Quasar Cannon Stratagem is a huge hit among players, and you can tell it's popular because developer Arrowhead Game Studios has already had to step in to nerf the huge weapon.

Now that’s what I call a bug hunt! It took Helldivers 2 players less than 24 hours to complete its latest Major Order: to kill two billion Terminids.
The new Helldivers 2 Major Order was smashed through in under a day, but some players are concerned the game wasn't tracking Terminid kills correctly.
The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order is live, and it simply tasks Super Earth's soldiers with squishing two billion Terminids in right around six days.
The last few days have been rough for Helldivers 2 players, to say the least. As the weekend began, we were hit with a new Major Order – halt the Automaton advance and hold the Menkent line, maintaining complete control over Menkent and Lesath in the process. It's just two planets, so simple enough, right?
After accidentally tweeting out a message in binary code asking about some "Karl," Helldivers 2's developer has denied that the message was an "illegal Automaton broadcast."
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.
There's only good news in the world of Helldivers 2 today following the successful completion of Operation Swift Disassembly, the recent Major Order to crush the Automatons in Arrowhead's popular multiplayer game. Not only is the galaxy free once more, but all Helldivers have received a special gift in the form of a minute-long break inclusive of the time it takes to read the announcement. Congratulations, folks; you earned it.
Helldivers 2 players are fearing for the worst as their progress in liberating three Automaton-held planets for the latest Major Order is flatlining.
This week, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead released a new cape, free to all players, to mark what it’s called 'Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.' Now, a subset of the game’s community is threatening to teamkill players who wear it, seemingly because they don’t like the focus on Malevelon Creek itself.
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has given all players a new cape to celebrate what it’s called 'Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.'
Helldivers 2 has a brand new cape to offer players in memory of their fallen comrades, and an accompanying 'Malevelon Creek Memorial Day' to commemorate those lost in the battle to take the infamous planet.
Helldiver's 2's latest, most relentless campaign continues as «Operation Swift Disassembly» develops. This time, the mission objective is nothing less than the complete eradication of the Automatons for good. And while the war is still far from over, lovers of liberty can sleep soundly tonight, comforted by the joyous news that Malevelon Creek is finally free of the machine menace.
