Finish Them! Bot Plot Prompts Helldivers Campaign to Liberate Automaton Homeworlds | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

An encrypted message has come down from Super Earth High Command (developer Arrowhead Game Studios), ordering all available Helldivers 2 players to immediately embark on a «defensive annihilation» campaign against the Automatons' homeworlds. It's all or nothing; the objective this time is to destroy the murderous machines once and for all.

Operation Swift Disassembly, as the campaign is being called, will have several phases, each critical to overall success. More information will be provided on a need-to-know basis. The motivational material provided below should be informative enough to get you on your way to the next battlefield, a world called Troost.

Information extracted from captive bots suggests the barely-sentient machines are plotting something called «The Reclamation,» an invasion into Super Earth space on a never-before-seen scale. So, a pre-emptive strike was deemed necessary. The first phase has already begun, with waves of heroic Helldivers landing on Troost to secure the deep-space comms array and gain vital intel on the enemy.

Forget 3 Body Problem, we have a multiple-Joel situation

me and my nephew were on level 4 difficulty on a bot world and we barely escaped with our lives.

@AdamNovice I've been playing this a hell of a lot and my fellow helldiver who was leading us into battle decided to tackle the automatons on extreme..it lived up to the billing and I think it could possibly be the quickest defeat I've suffered. Bloody good laugh though.

@Northern_munkey I shudder to think what Helldiver difficulty is
