A bit harsh, but sometimes that’s what it takes.
In an in-game message to players today, Arrowhead Games has revealed that cheaters short circuited Helldivers 2’s latest Major Order. The studio has given out its intended reward to all non-cheating players, and in typical Helldivers fashion, couched the whole thing in Super Earth-appropriate terms within the fiction.
“Super Earth High Command has detected a large batch of counterfeit samples within the delivery of the last Major Order”, the message reads. “As is customary, Medals have been awarded to all Helldivers who honorably performed their duties, and the ones submitting false samples have had their pet fish summarily executed.
“Laboratories all across Super Earth space are attempting to filter out the false samples, but the expected scientific advances to combat the spread of the gloom have decreased significantly.
