Helldivers 2 Players Failed the Last Major Order, and Now ‘The Second Galactic Battle’ Has Begun

“After 5 days of intense decommissioning of Automatons into scrap metallic to be used in superior anti-tank mines, the Helldivers got here 78% in direction of the acknowledged purpose of 2 billion lifeless bots,” the message reads. “Because of this the new stratagem will proceed to elude the Helldiver arsenal for now…”

It’s maybe no shock to see this Major Order failed, given Arrowhead had warned it had fastened a bug that induced a earlier Major Order to kill 2 billion bugs to be accomplished too shortly. The Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem will clearly be launched in time, however what’s fascinating is what comes subsequent in the Galactic Battle.

Dungeon Grasp Joel, who pulls the meta-narrative strings from inside the bowels of Arrowhead headquarters, seems to have a shock up his sleeve. The remainder of Tremendous Earth’s assertion says the struggle has now escalated into what’s known as The Second Galactic Battle, and that each one battle main up up to now “was merely an elaborate particular operation.”

And right here’s a really fascinating line, already being picked aside by the Helldivers neighborhood: “New recruits are being educated to bolster the ranks of SEAF, and the Helldivers are tasked with guarding these coaching amenities so that every recruit will be given their rigorous 72 hour fundamental coaching.”

It might be nothing, however some gamers are speculating that it is a tease for the arrival of NPC squads. Maybe an upcoming Stratagem will name in a four-person staff who drop down onto the battlefield to assist out till they, inevitably, chunk the mud.

Right here’s the remainder of the assertion in full:

“The struggle now escalates into what’s formally known as ‘The Second Galactic Battle.’ All battle main as much as this was merely an elaborate particular operation. New recruits are being educated to bolster the ranks of SEAF, and the Helldivers are tasked with guarding these coaching amenities so that every recruit will be given their rigorous 72 hour fundamental coaching.”

Helldivers 2 is the fastest-selling PlayStation sport of all time, promoting an astonishing 12 million copies in simply 12 weeks. Nevertheless it’s had a bumpy trip since popping out earlier this yr, with Arrowhead butting heads with Sony over PSN account linking. This week, Arrowhead stated it plans to roll again adjustments to patrols and spawn charges, admitting the PSN controversy had diverted its consideration away from gameplay tweaks.
