Helldivers 2 players are already complaining about the difficulty and the recent leaks will make them curl up and cower behind the terror of a new threat. These leakers probably regretted getting the inside information and being the bearer of bad news for the gaming community.

Curiosity can get the best of a person; this is one situation where the leakers probably wish not to be burdened with this knowledge. The Second Galactic War is about to get tougher now that new enemy types are coming and will roll over the players like ants under a boot.

Helldivers 2 Players Are About to Get Steamrolled by New Enemies

The gaming community is about to regret asking for more enemy types in Helldivers 2.

There are creative players in the community who were able to come up with bizarre ideas like combining automatons and hulks into one ultimate nightmare for Helldivers 2. The player envisioned an omnipotent enemy that would give the players a run for their money. It seems like the director and the rest of the developers saw this concept and dialed it up to an eleven in the latest leak involving automaton tanks.

The gaming community once goaded Joel, the game master, and demanded a much more harrowing experience and this new enemy type seems to be the perfect response. The leaks feature concepts and designs for an automaton and tank monstrosity that will destroy the players into oblivion.

The developers are struggling to keep the game afloat and supply the community with new content like enemy types which is why it is time for the Illuminate to make their first appearance but it seems like the players will already have their hands full with this new horror. Arrowhead Game Studios needs to step up its game and give the community something to look forward to.

The Automaton Tank Will Probably Break the Spirits of Helldivers 2 Players

Players will now think twice before tangling with an automaton in Helldivers 2.

The developers recently released a new patch and the gaming community is less than enthused with what it has to offer. The community is upset that the patch failed to address more pressing issues like the slow reload time but managed to tweak certain stratagems with buffs and nerfs.

Director Johan Pilestedt posted earlier and hyped up the patch and teased something about new and old enemy factions coming into play. Perhaps this was his perfect segue to introduce a new variation of automatons combined with tanks for players to face.

New enemy types will encourage players to identify their weaknesses and find other ways to defeat them. It is a perfect opportunity to test out stratagems and players were able to determine that Shriekers have poor eyesight which made smoke bombs and sneaking by unscathed and undetected a more viable option. Perhaps players will exert the same effort for the automaton tanks.

It can be terrifying to come face to face with a powerful enemy not knowing the best approach on how to best handle them. Players will have to use all the tools in their arsenal and work together to take these abominations down.
