Helldivers 2's latest patch, 01.000.300, dropped yesterday. It introduced sweeping balancing changes to the game and announced in-universe that the previously placid Terminids had broken free of their humane enclosures. While these once-captive sources of E-710 (which Socialists will suggest is just «oil» spelt backwards) run rampant, the Helldivers community debates whether developer Arrowhead may have introduced a fun nerf.
Super Earth Demands Helldivers 2 Players Slaughter 2 Billion Terminids | Push Square
19.04.2024 - 05:33 / pushsquare.com
Helldivers 2 players have been issued a new directive as the Galactic War effort again devolves into a grinding stalemate. The Automatons have deployed increasing numbers of Factory Striders to break the impasse, but for now, the line holds. To amass the necessary fuel to fire a Super Earth counterattack, billions of Terminids must die to acquire enough of that sweet, sweet oil E-710.
The exact method through which E-710 is harvested remains a closely held SEAF secret, but suffice it to say that stockpiling and controlling the critical resource is now more important than ever. The bugs have been relatively quiet since the end of the first phase of the current Autamaton conflict. A significant population were retired to humane enclosures, pumped full of nutrients under close supervision, and should thus be quickly culled.
Automatons back AT-AT again
How optimistic are you about the current state of the Helldivers 2 Galactic War effort? How much E-710 have you managed to contribute to the greater effort? Put in a patriotic double shift in the comments section below.

Oh so that wasn't actually a joke from a meme I saw, that was actually real lol
They should have made it 10 billion, we'll hit that goal in one day if we haven't already. Can't wait for the new faction, I think they'll announce it at the rumored showcase/ state of play.
My share right now is 300+
Aaand its done.
@Americansamurai1 I was playing last night with deadonfred and it was at 89% completion. I expect those filthy tyranids to have been culled when I get home from work later on...FOR DEMOCRACY..

Here's hoping it won't be received as tragically as Firaxis' excellent Marvel's Midnight Suns when it hits on 29th May on PS5 and PS4.
