In Helldivers 2′s ongoing battle for spreading managed democracy across the galaxy, players believed they had gained the upper hand against the Automaton faction. Little did they know, all of what transpired till now was just the start.
With numerous territories reclaimed and victory seemingly within reach, many thought the fight against the robotic menace was nearing its end. However, recent developments have shattered this illusion, and players are unsure of what’s coming next.
Helldivers 2 Players Shocked as the Automatons Aren’t Done Yet
Just when it appeared that the Automatons of Helldivers 2 had been defeated, they’ve returned with a more menacing energy than ever before. As of late, any player that logs into the game is met with a bone-chilling message that leaves no room for doubt:
HIGH PRIORITY BROADCAST. ALL UNITS TO LIBCON 1
FEDERATION UNDER ATTACK. MULTIPLE PLANETS HAVE FALLENA massive Automaton Invasion Fleet, comprising tens of thousands of warships, arrived from GTL jump to the Valdis Sector and overran nearly every planet in just hours. Attacks on communications networks delayed warning until now. SEAF reserves are scrambling. All Helldivers are called to deploy immediately to the defense.
This Fleet dwarfs the Automaton armies destroyed in Operation Swift Disassembly. As we predicted from the start, they were merely a vanguard. This is the Automatons’ true force. Where the Automatons hid this fleet and what their true intentions are – those questions must be answered later. The Reclamation has begun.
The gravity of this situation for Helldivers can’t be understated.
The sudden onslaught of the Automaton Invasion Fleet has caught the Super Earth democratic force off guard, with multiple planets falling under the relentless assault in just a matter of hours.
What Does This Mean for Helldivers Everywhere?
For Helldivers, this is a huge setback and a dire threat to their accomplishments, reclaiming so many different Automaton territories.
The Automatons, thought to have been on the brink of defeat, have revealed the true extent of their power and resources. The idea that they were simply a vanguard now seems like a grim reality as their full force descends upon the galaxy.
The Super Earth Armed Forces (SEAF) are now mobilizing their reserves and have issued a call to arms for all Helldivers. If you were planning on joining the fight, now’s a good time as ever!
After all of this, one thing remains certain: the battle for managed democracy in Helldivers 2 is far from over. While we thought the Automatons were done and we only had the bugs to worry about, all of us were proved wrong. There’s also the matter of the dreaded Illuminate faction joining the fight at anytime.
