“What gives?”: Helldivers 2’s Community Needs to Reevaluate as It’s in Danger of Messing up the War Effort

This is a piece of cake, and the community is not reacting.

The Helldivers 2 community has proven several times before that it is up to the task against any new Major Order objective that Arrowhead Game Studios has thrown at the players. But it seems that the fire is burning low, and the players are not as active as previous times.

The current global goal is to destroy 2,000,000,000 bots in the Automaton region of the galaxy. Players are not fighting against these robots enough, as only 70% of the total goal has been completed. A Reddit user is encouraging players to engage in combat in order to earn a new stratagem.

The Helldivers 2 Democracy Is at Risk

Arrowhead Game Studios has always bet on the community’s ability to release new content by setting global objectives to unlock it. In previous goals, the players have achieved the goal of liberating an entire planet, resulting in the launch of the mech or Exo-Patriot suit. Every other global mission has been completed with outstanding collaboration from the entire community of players.

The current objective is as simple as eliminating a total of two billion bots from the Automaton army. Some fans of the game are very angry with other players because the goal has not even reached almost 70% of the total.

40% of helldivers active on bugs…

Reddit user Content_Guest_6802 has made a passively aggressive post in the official subreddit, alarming the players to go and help complete this new Major Order.

The Community Has to Wake Up

This Reddit user even encourages the players, saying that it is not necessary to play level 9 missions; it is only about destroying every kind of Automaton possible. This post quickly went viral, and it seems that a part of the community really wants a new stratagem to use. Other users are talking about how the reward is not what players who primarily fight against bugs want, so that is another issue.

With a little more than 20 hours to complete the objective, it seems that Anti-Tank Mine is not what the community wants to unlock, so it will not fight against the bots as it should. According to the user in the discussion, only half of the total player base of the game moves between fronts to complete the Major Orders that will unlock new content for the entire community. It is rare that players are active in this.

The Major Orders could be really important or be minor rewards, but they always encourage the community to make new efforts to defeat certain kinds of enemies. It will likely complete the goal, but it is advancing slowly because the reward doesn’t seem that significant. A new stratagem can always be a good thing to try in battle; there is a proposal that players can find for this in particular.
