The next step in Helldivers 2’s ongoing Galactic War is here, and it’s just about the most straightforward yet: kill bugs. Lots of bugs.

It all comes back to Malevelon Creek. Helldivers 2 players smashed the latest major order, and now a new one's come in to shut down an Automaton factory on planet Tibit, but we're going to have to punch through some other planets first, and the infamous Malevelon Creek is marked for liberation once again.
Helldivers 2's new Major Order came in earlier today. "OP Swift Disassembly, Phase 2: Reduce Non-Sentient Combatant Production," the in-game order reads. "Intel analysis have identified the planet Tibit as the most significant producer of illegal Automaton combatants. Liberating this planet would significantly replenish decommissioned socialists. It would also limit further theft of the planet's natural resources from future generations of inarguably sentient humans."
The truncated mission message adds: "We have identified the most significant source of Automaton combatant production. Liberation of this planet will severely impact the enemy's force replenishment capacity."
Tibit is at the end of a chain of planets in the western front, with the two active war theaters being Malevelon Creek and Ubanea for the time being. Malevelon Creek has been quietly simmering away ever since players begrudgingly lost it to the Automaton surge, and the folks at developer Arrowhead have even leaned into the meme and publicly urged players to return to the fight.

At the time of writing, there are about – let me just double-check this – 69 hours left to finish this 45-medal Major Order. Thanks to its supportive faction of devotees, Malevelon Creek is already 43% liberated, with some 54,729 Helldivers deployed. Ubanea, the other planet in the immediate liberation chain, has 84,396 Helldivers on the ground and is 24% liberated. Tibit itself isn't available yet, and I'm assuming we'll have to take at least these two planets, if not a fourth on the way, to unlock it. It's time, Helldivers. The creek must be freed once and for all.
Helldivers 2 probably wouldn't exist without Nintendo as its director says the Mario maker is "the reason why I became a game dev."

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?
A new Helldivers 2 patch fixes plenty of in-game crashes, after developer Arrowhead had to recommend players let the game "rest" this past weekend due to persistent crashes.

Congratulations, folks; you earned it.
The developers behind Helldivers 2 didn't expect many players to join the assault on the Automatons, but surprisingly, a whopping 70% of the player base joined the fight for tyrannical democracy.
Helldivers 2 players are fearing for the worst as their progress in liberating three Automaton-held planets for the latest Major Order is flatlining.
The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order has commenced, and it's bad news for the Automatons. Game Master Joel demands we liberate three worlds controlled by the bucket heads in just three days.
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.

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.

Just when you think the Helldivers 2 Automaton warfront can't get any worse, the bots bring not one, but two new menaces to the battlefield. As flying Gunships shred players from the skies, new machine walkers called Factory Striders are also flattening democracy enthusiasts down on the ground.
