The Helldivers 2 community is very friendly and welcoming. Since launch, Arrowhead Game Studios players have been joining in, making it possible for other players to buy the game.
But there are times when things go too far and the conspiracy theories make players lose their minds speculating about the origin of certain enemies. One player has posted a new theory on 4chan about how the Automatons are secretly humans that are being controlled by them and why they are so aggressive on the battlefield.
A new theory has players thinking about Automatons in Helldivers 2
Arrowhead Game Studios has really made one of the more popular games in years, with an incredible active community always ready to face a new threat. The players will do almost anything to finish the mission and deliver some democracy throughout the galaxy. Some global missions made players unite to liberate a specific planet to unlock a new world upgrade like the Exo-Patriot suit.
Helldivers 2 has also generated a very active fandom that lately has been making a lot of conspiracy theories about the origin of some popular enemies in the game.
A 4chan user went viral for posting a theory that describes how the Automatons are players being controlled again; they will kill another player without knowing, which is why they are so aggressive. This user stated that the players could also be aware of this, but they haven’t said anything about it.
A community that will make any kind of story have better lore
This post was reposted as a meme, and the user also mentioned that some players have found body piles near Automaton bases, making this theory even more possible than before.
The community is very fast at jumping into a new theory, even if it has no real evidence that it is true. Past allegations that fans made about flying bugs ended up being true; this is part of the dynamic between the studio and the fans.
With one of the few communities that really has an active relationship with the studio, which goes back and forth all the time. This feature is one of the things that makes the game even greater; without this relationship, the title could not improve that fast. Helldivers 2 stays at the top with more than 200,000 concurrent players every day on Steam, and the player base keeps growing with each new day.
The game constantly upgrades its content. The announcement of the Warbond aims to introduce players to new weapons for the purpose of destroying enemies and promoting democracy. Fans are conjecturing about the potential addition of a new enemy to the game in the near future. The studio has not mentioned anything about it. Helldivers 2 players will keep waiting for new things to be added.
