«With the bots eradicated and the bugs contained, the galaxy is free once more.»
The official Helldivers Twitter account has announced that players’ latest operation was a success, with the forces of Super Earth wiping out an entire enemy faction. The Automatons were cornered to a few holdout worlds days ago and defeated for good today, which begs the question: where does the game go now, sans an entire enemy type?
«You did it, Helldivers,» Arrowhead declared. «Operation Swift Disassembly was a success! With the bots eradicated and bugs contained, the galaxy is free once more.»
It’s an incredibly bold move for a live game, even the famously elastic and reactive Helldivers 2, whose wartime plot twists and surprise gear upgrades are masterminded by a shadowy GM known only as Joel.
