Time should fly once you’re having enjoyable. Or at the very least once you’re defending Tremendous Earth from an enormous Illuminate invasio. Helldivers 2‘s statecraft main order is the “closing section” of the battle for the divers’ dwelling planet that is been raging because the Heart of Democracy update dropped on Could 20.
I need to admit, I assumed the Galactic Struggle twist that is introduced the biggest number of Helldivers again to the sport of any replace it is gotten to this point would final a bit longer than three MOs. Then once more, that is Helldivers 2 – the conflict ain’t anyplace near over whereas there are nonetheless troops on the march and enemies to surf on.
To start with, the final main order, which expired earlier right this moment, was a correct heartbreaker. After casually killing 2.5 billion Illuminate within the first stage of Tremendous Earth’s protection, gamers weren’t fairly capable of efficiently extract from missions in opposition to the Illuminate 20 million occasions. They bought damn close, although.
So, with that, whereas the divers have worn the Illuminate fleet’s energy right down to an estimated “24% of its authentic working energy”, solely 4 of Tremendous Earth’s seven Mega Cities are left standing. Yep, two extra have joined the brilliantly-named Eagleopolis as smouldering wrecks.
Cue Arrowhead’s statecraft order, which declares the third section of Tremendous Earth’s protection to be the ultimate one. “Excessive Command anticipates an all-out assault to take the ultimate 4 Mega Cities,” the studio wrote, “The Illuminate have spent a century getting ready for this invasion; they are going to maintain again nothing. What has come earlier than was the preamble; that is the endgame…The Helldivers have their orders: HOLD Tremendous Earth.”
So as to try this, gamers’ll have to dig in on Tremendous Earth in opposition to the squids, whereas additionally scrapping 200 million Automatons to allow them to deliver the Democracy Area Station again on-line to help that first bit. As of writing, practically 98 million bots have already been bashed in because the order debuted this morning.
People are seemingly going all out, little question buoyed by the actual fact right this moment’s little Helldivers 2 patch – 01.003.003 – made a very talked-about change to the Strengthened Epaulettes passive that comes with the armour units from the lately deployed Masters of Ceremony Warbond. In addition to making your limbs much less more likely to snap like twigs, you may now be capable to reload your major weapon 30% sooner and do 50% extra melee harm when rocking the Parade Commander and Honorary Guard units.
Cue celebrations on Reddit.
