After less than two months since launch, Helldivers 2 players know how difficult it is to spread democracy, especially with the Automaton army. The Malevelon Creek battle was an inflection point for the Helldivers 2 community, and thanks to winning it and progressing to Tien Kwan, all players can now use an Exo-Patriot mech suit.

New orders from the Super Earth as a Major Order have been given to all the Helldivers; the target is in the Trigon Sector, and the operation is called “Swift Disassembly.” This is to prevent massive attacks from the Automatons and to make a proactive strike. 

Players Are Not Sure About Choosing the Automaton Mission 

Automatons are not the preferred enemy from Helldivers 2 players.

One of the key features in Helldivers 2 is that, at the moment, it has two principal enemies in the galaxy: the Terminid bugs and the Automatons. Most players, especially those at lower levels, prefer to battle against bugs because it is easier.

Every planet has an occupation rate set by the enemy, and the Terminid rate has dropped enormously compared to the Automatons. The last time all players collaborated in destroying the automatons was in the Tien Kwan battle that liberated the Exo-Patriot factory and provided the possibility of having a mech. 

In a new major order message, the Ministry of Intelligence has given Helldivers 2 players the mission called “Swift Disassembly,” which consists of destroying Automaton forces in the Trigon Sector. This will be a limited-time event for the live-service game.

Many players are eager to join the fight as a team, but several fans are too afraid to fight the Automaton army. Even in the easiest difficulty, these robots are tough against normal bullets. 

What Will Helldivers 2 Players Choose?

Within the X post on the official Helldivers 2 account, many players replied that they were ready for the battle; others just posted memes about how difficult the fight will be.

The majority of players will be part of the fight because this could mean another breakthrough, like the possibility of using the Exo-Patriot mech suit. This could unlock a new recon vehicle, or a new model of the Exo-Patriot suit, as these are all rumored possibilities.

Helldivers 2 players are waiting for the stratagems to arrive; the recon vehicle and the new Exo-Patriot suit are among the most anticipated items that fans want to test out.

Some other new stratagems have also leaked with no confirmation, however, these new weapons could make a difference. Arrowhead Game Studios has a lot of patience with these things, and the studio likes to wait until the last moment before making announcements.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
