In what’s turning into a rather remarkable protest, Helldivers 2 players are continuing to let the game’s Automatons get closer and closer to Super Earth in the game’s galactic war. It seems part of the fun folks are having at this point is trying to imagine how Arrowhead and game master J.O.E.L might react if indeed the fighting does reach the divers’ home planet.
As we reported yesterday, the inclusion of some nerfs to fire damage in the Escalation of Freedom update’s changes well and the resulting discourse as to whether Arrowhead’s going in the right direction when it comes to its tweaks is what’s triggered this rebellion o sorts from players. I say rebellion of sorts, because it looks like the community’s still on course to complete the game’s latest Major Order.
As of writing, despite the fact the bot front isn’t too far from Super Earth, with the planet Curia currently being the closest world to Super Earth that’s seemingly been all but abandoned to the automatons’ metal mitts, the current Major Order is still looking on track to succeed.
