Helldivers 2 has introduced the newest twist in its galactic struggle, and it is one that may have Helldivers dashing in en masse. The planet below assault by the Automatons is Tien Kwan, a reputation that will likely be acquainted to any liberty-loving patriot who noticed Arrowhead’s mech tease just a few days in the past: Yep, that is the place the place they make mechs.
Now, the query of why an Automaton would possibly need an exosuit is simply the kind of commie response I might count on from somebody who is not presently diving into Tien Kwan at a charge of knots. Make no mistake that if these robots pay money for extra robotic bits they will most likely be comforted or one thing, and such shall not be tolerated.
That is the sort of state of affairs the place one title goes to be on each participant’s lips: Joel. The Helldivers 2 recreation grasp is watching over the sport’s meta-structure for moments corresponding to this, and irrespective of what number of troopers Tremendous Earth sends, the Automatons will not be happening simply: the entire job is guaranteeing that the stay service facet does not really feel like most each different recreation.

Despite the fact that the sport has solely been out for just a few weeks, the Tien Kwan liberation follows on from one of many recreation’s first nice emergent moments. The liberation of Veld noticed an absolute flood of gamers, stung by collectively failing the earlier main order, swarming that planet as quickly because the order to take action was given. The opening hours made it appear like this was going to be a cakewalk. Then somebody fiddled with some dials and issues bought very sophisticated and messy.
Helldivers 2 has come completely roaring out of the gate, and exhibits no indicators of slowing down. The sport simply acquired its first main stability patch, which confirmed Arrowhead is not scared to go in with the nerfhammer the place it is wanted (and wow, can these chaingun gamers moan about it). And in different metagame information, there’s an much more intriguing prospect: some gamers assume Arrowhead’s been ‘leaking’ unreleased components into random video games.
