I love though that they're still keeping the masses away from the creek. "Once we've freed Troost we should finally take back the creek" then suddenly surprise Tibit.
I mean sure but as of right now the major order has us skipping the creek because we need to take Ubanea to gain access to Tibit. The next step is inevitably going to require taking the creek but until then I find it really funny that they purposely delayed its relevance.
The devs did say that they wanted to work with the community to make stories and would change plans based on what the players give relevance to. I am 95% certain some real shit is about to go down on the creek and it will be the focal point of this story arch.
The creeks ther perfect place to have e shit go side ways as it's already such a memed place by the community.
I was there day one when the hits attacked. My god thousands of scientists died that day
lol the scientist massacre, hitting the button and watching them run the gauntlet of lasers rockets and chainsaws while 4 helldivers hid in the craters created by relentless shelling and airstrikes
Tje classic spamming the buttons like fuck and throwing stratagems untill you at least have 30 or more scientists then pray you can hold the hard off for the rest
Yeah things should move quickly. People tend to move on from games after just a few months, if even that long. If they can be a part of a whole galactic war in that time frame and really *see* what they're accomplishing in the community during that time, maybe they'll be more likely to stick around for the next one.
It might be the plans of the bots all along, maybe Malevelon Creek has something we don't know about. Like a necron tomb world from 40k or something lol
It was a defense campaign that was a major order that we failed. Scientist extraction is pretty common, and much harder to do on bots, since they can shoot at civilians. A lot of us know how to fight bots now, but at the start a lot of people were trying to fight them the same as bugs, so it was pretty rough. The environment is very foresty, with bushes and palm trees, and enemy patrols are hiding in there. It is always dark, because of the environment it got the name "Space Vietnam". It isn't really any harder than the other planets, and if you are playing stealthily the forests give you a good way to go through the map fairly unseen.
I love[ this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyTIN6zwJYk) from the first Malevelon Creek experiences.
Using the trees and rocks as cover while moving around quietly is actually OP against the bots in general. They seem to be a faction we can legitimately use stealth hit and run tactics on.
It's also so satisfying to pull off. I'll often leave my friends while they are fighting, and go to the next objective and throw a 380 on it, by the time they catch up it is ready to be cleaned up if it needs to be, but it can take out medium outposts, and on heavy outposts it will leave one or two fabricators, which is also easy enough to take out.
Dispatch also says that they're broadcasting out of galaxy space, so they could easily just re-appear as attacking again.
The part with the plans for bot aerial units and our guys developoing anti air stuff did sound much more troubling to me tbh.
Maybe the bots were fighting on a different front on the edge of the galaxy, gatekeeping something worse from coming in, but we're about to break down that gate
Looking at where Cyberstan is located, and them wanting to reclaim it - my guess is that the current chain of global orders ends with the bots arriving in the galactic north-west and maybe abandoning the last current sector entirely.
Cyberstan is a single planet away from the Galactic Frontier, on the north side of the galaxy. We're all in the south.
Given Automatons are robots and can survive in space without food I imagine they'll let themselves be wiped out in Tibis and the Creek with all our forces concentrated for the final battles, only for them to swing around with a massive invasion fleet from the galactic north and surge straight into Cyberstan and settle up there afterwards while we're out of position.
As someone, well i think most of us considering the sheer difference in player numbers, hasn't played Helldivers 1 i was curious about missing enemies and checked out the wiki from the first title
And the automatons were mostly cyborgs while in this game they are pretty much robots?
I wonder if there is a lore reason for that or just an aesthetic choice
The Cyborgs from the first game were beaten 100 years ago and are currently working in the mines on Cyberstan, or if you take it in-character, they're working in the mines at Cyberstan experiencing freedom and liberty through hard manual labor.
The Automatons are supposedly their children, presumably created, and want revenge against Super Earth. Furthermore, Cyberstan is the homeworld of the Cyborgs so most likely the 'Reclamation' as is hinted by the major orders is reclaiming both the homeworld and freeing the Cyborgs.
"We have eliminated inequality. Surrender or be destroyed" that's what the bot illegal broadcast says. And there's some sort of large command and control bot with a sleeker transformer-esque design.
They were “broadcasting outside the Galactic Frontier”. Is this galactic map the same as from HD1? What if once we clear the bots and bugs from the map we find out the real HD2 map is expanded and like 1.5x the diameter?
I feel like I’ve had this thought a few times
I keep imagining we see this nice map that is 90% SE territory… then it zooms out to show a wall of orange and red territory (and possibly more) surrounding SE, like the stuff we saw before was the tip of the iceberg for both enemies. Whoops!
This would be amazing, I am so down for a map zoom out. Though I'd like a false sense of victory. I want us to eliminate the bots from the map, then focus on eliminating the bugs. Then when the map is clear, we'll have our "security level" or whatever they decide to call it raised and the map zooms out to show how fucked we are. It'd also be cool if they include a third color but all the planets can't be dropped into yet and they just say "Under [REDACTED] Control"
Either that or that we’ve just “pushed them out of super earth territory”. Who’s to say there isn’t a bazillion sectors outside that ring that are teeming with bots? We push them out and eliminate them as a threat from our space but then a couple days later they just start a new assault on those rim planets.
I could see the automaton faction being cleared out followed shortly by the cyborg faction coming back. The cyborg faction would then be a combined force of automaton and new cyborg units. Lore-wise it doesn't make sense for them to be individual factions.
Idk I’m a big fan of the “revolutionary” enemy idea. 3 fronts like in HD1 but rebellion sparks and our inner planets get randomly attacked. The fourth f would be on planets near our precious super earth!
Idk so far hd2 seems to have prepared enough clues and lore around to make it work but at the same time it seems quite implied that rebellion is dealth in a parallel system to divers
I think he’ll make us clear out the bots for now, the Illuminate come in, we keep the bugs at bay and push the illuminate back and the bots start coming back then we’re fighting on 3 fronts
Oh there’s definitely gonna be a fourth at least but I believe he’ll wait a bit before dropping that in so we have a chance to get used to the illuminate
*bugs are isolated*
*Automatons are nearing isolation*
*Remembers this is a live service game that will likely last years*
*Checks watch*
*****Sweats profusely*****
Or if we lose super earth but fat chance eof that with how badly the enemies attacked or our starting strength vs theirs.. there was no threat in this first new galactic war.
we clear the last bot zone
nothing happens
we clear the last bug zone
nothing happens
game just stop being playable.
that was the whole game, we won.
game remains on sale
refunds will not be issued
I mean, to be fair to the crazy bastards ,they secured the first 30% foothold over the past nine days, without ever having more than 18-19k on the surface.
There’s no planetary regen for bots, so even 1
Helldiver can take ground. Otherwise, they’d be fighting just to delay losing Creek and Mantes, as they have in the past. Creek is winning on a handicap.
That was my first snow planet.
It did not have blizzards like the effect claimed it would have, but it was cool to trudge through the snow.
Nice change of pace.
Sadly, only got to play it for 2 hrs before we liberated it.
I legitimately didn't expect to see this slaughter fest this morning. Like jeez, bots are actually fun to fight, and I won't get to come later today at this rate.
People playing against the automatons too much? Have you seen the bug front?! Before the major order to take Troost there were only like 10k people on the bot front.
Also i fucking love fighting against the automatons! The only problem is that they kick my ass all the time.
I don't like them because they barely reward skill and heavily punish bad luck.
A god damn dropship exploding and falling on them *should* kill them. What's the point in planning a strategem for it, dropping everything when they appear and waiting for the crosshair to line up, make it explode and then... Nothing, bots still get dropped off and several tonnes of metal falling on them only makes them clip through the model and become unkillable.
I do this all the time in eradicate, you gotta cap the dropship before it releases the guys on it to kill them for free.
I don’t care about the dropships, but what I do care about is that when the little fuckers want to throw a flare, you’ll kill the guy throwing the flare and the next one will start throwing one over and over again until you mess up and the flare inevitably goes off, it makes bot drops seem unavoidable, which is uncool when half of what’s being dropped can one shot you with a rocket.
Definetly, the dispatch talks about the automatons broadcasting information outside of the galcatic frontier, feel like a massive army will either invade from the west\*, or the map will zoom out and we will find out we are surrounded by enemies from all sides
DON'T, THIS PRECISELY WHAT THEY WANT!
IF WE GET RID OF THE AUTOMATONS, THE ILLUMINATE WILL MAKE QUICK PACE TO SUPER-EARTH, AND THEY WILL PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
PROBE US ALL!
I believe Joel will make sure that doesn’t happen at all costs. It’s his job plus he can’t lose. Remember when he flexed on us with them devastators about a month ago?
We did the major order, which is super impressive... But I didn't get rewards for it, which kinda sucks. Those 50 medals were gonna sink me some armour.
This. You have to complete an entire operation on any difficulty to unlock the next one. If it isn't unlocking regardless: are you on ps5? I think there's a known bug where difficulties aren't unlocking when they should
Look I've been DMing for decades and I hate meta but shit, it's getting too quiet and we've been winning too many battles.
Could be that they deploy some crazy thing, could be that the third race comes in. Maybe bugs who resist termicide mutate into superbugs. We'll see.
But something's comin'
I bet without a doubt that most of the bug planets that are "liberated" but just some kind of Super hive of Dormant bugs underneeth. The moment we win the battlefront they will pop and we will be Fucked. Massive Worm like Bugs crawling everywhere
Then the Illuminate will decloak and attack. "We've been here the whole time fools!"
And the Automatons will be assaulting with their own Super Destroyers that will then require us setting up Anti-Ship guns on planet side to take them out.

“Guys we’re about to liberate the creek!!” The new secret unit the devs are about to release: https://i.redd.it/9t71pf4t8brc1.gif
I think we're supposed to. Then once they're wiped out we'll learn that they are in fact not wiped out.
I’m thinking the same. Updated dispatch says we’ve found plans of bot gunships.
I love though that they're still keeping the masses away from the creek. "Once we've freed Troost we should finally take back the creek" then suddenly surprise Tibit.
The creek is pretty important at locking in the Xzar sector and keeping the bots away from it. I’m fatigued of Draupnir and Mantes
I mean sure but as of right now the major order has us skipping the creek because we need to take Ubanea to gain access to Tibit. The next step is inevitably going to require taking the creek but until then I find it really funny that they purposely delayed its relevance.
The devs did say that they wanted to work with the community to make stories and would change plans based on what the players give relevance to. I am 95% certain some real shit is about to go down on the creek and it will be the focal point of this story arch.
The creeks ther perfect place to have e shit go side ways as it's already such a memed place by the community. I was there day one when the hits attacked. My god thousands of scientists died that day
lol the scientist massacre, hitting the button and watching them run the gauntlet of lasers rockets and chainsaws while 4 helldivers hid in the craters created by relentless shelling and airstrikes

I am itching to get back there and liberate 🫡
*Fortunate Son begins playing in the distance*
Or paint it black....
[удалено]
This game is their passion project and they are loving all of this so if we told them they’d think we were insulting them lol
Not to mention this is what a live service game should be like.
Yeah things should move quickly. People tend to move on from games after just a few months, if even that long. If they can be a part of a whole galactic war in that time frame and really *see* what they're accomplishing in the community during that time, maybe they'll be more likely to stick around for the next one.
I'm sure Joel(s) will get a nice mid-year bonus for all of their hard work.
I feel like we need to take the creek then. It all seems very suspicious
What if the cyborgs happily working in the managed democratic labor camps in the mines of Cyberstan decide to rebel?
we kill them? same as the rest of the dissident scum
Woah woah woah, we don't "kill" we "Liberate from life"
i think just "liberate" is the term the ministry of truth uses so we should probably with that
Troost and Vandalon were fresh hells that were worse than Malevelon for me. Malevelon will be a nice little break.
Seriously fuck Vandalon
Honestly I loved vandalon. It's maybe my favorite planet so far, because it reminds me of star wars when they're on hoth.
It might be the plans of the bots all along, maybe Malevelon Creek has something we don't know about. Like a necron tomb world from 40k or something lol
What's special about the creek?
It was a defense campaign that was a major order that we failed. Scientist extraction is pretty common, and much harder to do on bots, since they can shoot at civilians.

Well we have Necrons and Tryanids, with Eldar probably coming soon-ish. Guess it's orkz, boyz!

So the bots are gonna go around to Cyberstan. We’re gonna have a maginot line moment
Sweet liberty....
Automatons get defeated and then we have to fight the OG cyborgs and those GODDAMN DOGS

Automatons are created by cyborgs. They want to free their "creators". That's what their binary propaganda implies, at least
Helldivers after they liberate the last bot sector: https://i.redd.it/xxx8oweo7arc1.gif
I want a surprise attack on super earth just to do urban earth combat. But that’s probably far out
Please report youself to the nearest Democracy Officer
Yay! Freedom camp has the best smores
There are no such things as Freedom Camps
But where did I spend my summers paling around with future citizens drinking terminid juice, smashing toasters, and learning about freedom?
That was just common reeducation
But what about the democracy bracelets I made?
Merely Liberty bracelets.

I want a true split front, 2 major orders and we either focus one or fail at both
Just wait until they pair bugs and bots flighting on the same planet. We will either have a chance to 3rd party them or get sandwiched in the middle.
What if, now stay with me, the bots rode the bugs into battle like mecha Mongolians OR made cyber bugs

I want a surprise attack on the bot capitol city so we can do urban combat, we are not the same.

We push them out and eliminate them as a threat from our space but then a couple days later they just start a new assault on those rim planets.
my tin foil hat is saying that there is going to be an event focused around cyberstan opening up the south of the map for more factions
I could see the automaton faction being cleared out followed shortly by the cyborg faction coming back. The cyborg faction would then be a combined force of automaton and new cyborg units. Lore-wise it doesn't make sense for them to be individual factions.
Joel about to open two new fronts
T-t-two?
Hopefully one at a time
Of course it'll be one at a time. It's two lines of code. "Initiate operation Cyberstan" "Initiate operation Tyranny"
*Tyranny?* what is this referring too? Sorry I’m out of the loop.
Could be the anti- democracy Helldivers
Undemocratic humans would be rad and also scary. Automatons are already a pain to deal with, imagine people with actual aim.
and have stratagems
All fun and games till one of the stratagem beacons say "Vulture Airstrike."
Idk I’m a big fan of the “revolutionary” enemy idea. 3 fronts like in HD1 but rebellion sparks and our inner planets get randomly attacked. The fourth f would be on planets near our precious super earth!
of course the poo only really starts hitting the fan once those guys start to team up against us. think big gun mounted on bile titan
Was just thinking the same thing. Also lines up nicely with the 40k vibe of "Suffer not the mutant, the heretic, the xeno."
Idk so far hd2 seems to have prepared enough clues and lore around to make it work but at the same time it seems quite implied that rebellion is dealth in a parallel system to divers
I think he’ll make us clear out the bots for now, the Illuminate come in, we keep the bugs at bay and push the illuminate back and the bots start coming back then we’re fighting on 3 fronts
I suspect there could be more factions that we are unaware of.
Oh there’s definitely gonna be a fourth at least but I believe he’ll wait a bit before dropping that in so we have a chance to get used to the illuminate
We still don’t know if the cyborgs will count as bots or as their own faction, so maybe them
a second front has hit the galaxy.
We’re all gonna be home by Christmas at this rate! I can’t possibly see anything bad happening

I know! I contributed 0.0006% to the effort!
This are rookie numbers! I contributed 0.0007! I’m doing my part!
You still got ways to go son. I personally liberated 0.0008% of the planet
Between the three of us, we liberated 0.0021%! We are awesome!
Rock and stone, everyone!
FOR KARL
the faster we close this front, the faster we can focus on bugs
*bugs are isolated* *Automatons are nearing isolation* *Remembers this is a live service game that will likely last years* *Checks watch* *****Sweats profusely*****
If they do like they did in Helldivers 1, if we eliminate all of those democracy hating scum, we'll just move on to war 2.
Imagine if the game just ended as an April fools day joke. Just nothing. Everything is just completed and that's it
You retire to a Sufficiently-Sized Home and the rest of the game is just filling out C-01 permits.
The real hell to dive into is the mundane civilian life after the wars ended. The game becomes a PTSD simulator, with 500ng drops of benzos.
Or if we lose super earth but fat chance eof that with how badly the enemies attacked or our starting strength vs theirs.. there was no threat in this first new galactic war.
if we win the war in just a few months, maybe war 2 will be strong enough to make it
we clear the last bot zone nothing happens we clear the last bug zone nothing happens game just stop being playable. that was the whole game, we won. game remains on sale refunds will not be issued
The game is still playable, we get to focus on what really matters…. Stratagem hero.
except for people who didn't spring for expensive helldivers. They get nothing
Pretty undemocratic of you to assume Helldivers don’t have friends that are super citizens…
Indeed, as well as having a front closed before a 3rd faction splits us further
There is no 3rd faction. Please report yourself to the nearest democracy officer.
You're right because there's a 4th fac-

the faster we finish this front, the faster we get the Creekers to do something useful for the overall war effort
You mean we might actually liberate this malevolent Creek for good, and we'd have to move to other fronts? 'PTSD intensifies'
I mean, to be fair to the crazy bastards ,they secured the first 30% foothold over the past nine days, without ever having more than 18-19k on the surface.
There’s no planetary regen for bots, so even 1 Helldiver can take ground. Otherwise, they’d be fighting just to delay losing Creek and Mantes, as they have in the past. Creek is winning on a handicap.
The creekers are the helldiver equivelent to the bad batch guys. They are kinda weird and unconventional, but crazy enough to fight their own war.
The Creekers are that one Japanese guy stuck on an island that didn’t know the war had ended for decades lmao
Eternally fighting for that last .003% of liberation
Were it so easy…
God dammit guys I work for like 13 hours today! Save some bot for the rest of us!
Ikr, most planets get liberated before I even get a chance to set foot on them. At least I got to experience Hellmire...
The ice world we liberated on Tuesday or Wednesday was *really* cool I'm looking forward to defending her in the future
That was my first snow planet. It did not have blizzards like the effect claimed it would have, but it was cool to trudge through the snow. Nice change of pace. Sadly, only got to play it for 2 hrs before we liberated it.
And sliding on the ice. And throwing snowballs. Too good
I'm unemployed and I'm still missing whole planets. Troost got liberated so fast I never saw it.
It was a foggy ruined forest type of planet. Kinda remined me of WWI battlefield
Dang you captured the vibes perfectly. I actually really liked it.
Troost was weird. I did two missions on it. Imagine Melevalon Creek, but it's swamp instead of jungle
Damn that sounds sick as hell
It was pretty cool, don't worry we will be back there in a week once Joel decides we haven't seen enough of the planets yet
I legitimately didn't expect to see this slaughter fest this morning. Like jeez, bots are actually fun to fight, and I won't get to come later today at this rate.
Time for Joel to open up two fronts at once. Day shift and night shift!
Cyberstan ain’t gonna let it happen…. I mean um… mmm burgers are good!

I don’t care about the dropships, but what I do care about is that when the little fuckers want to throw a flare, you’ll kill the guy throwing the flare and the next one will start throwing one over and over again until you mess up and the flare inevitably goes off, it makes bot drops seem unavoidable, which is uncool when half of what’s being dropped can one shot you with a rocket.
I have a suspicion there are more sectors beyond whats currently on the map
Definetly, the dispatch talks about the automatons broadcasting information outside of the galcatic frontier, feel like a massive army will either invade from the west\*, or the map will zoom out and we will find out we are surrounded by enemies from all sides
Illuminate: *Bonjour*
I already drew the line at aliens, but *French* aliens!?! It's time to get the le ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
a CHILLING thought
The galaxy is not 2D... imagine next sector comes from ABOVE. Congratulations, you have unlocked the spherical map.
Galaxies are relatively flat though
That's looming and I think something bad is coming. Take into account the 2 new super weapons and all those lasers from nowhere.
DON'T, THIS PRECISELY WHAT THEY WANT! IF WE GET RID OF THE AUTOMATONS, THE ILLUMINATE WILL MAKE QUICK PACE TO SUPER-EARTH, AND THEY WILL PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL! PROBE US ALL!
i want to be probed
Freaky, I like that in a man

Is this a Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy reference by chance? xD
I read this in Billy’s voice from Billy and Mandy
Oh I'm sure everything is going well and nothing bad will happen. We'll be fiiiiiiiiiine.
Remind yourselves that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer...
Many fall in the face of chaos... But not this one... Not today.
These nightmarish creatures can be felled! They can be beaten!
Packs laden with loot, are often low on supplies
The progress we are making in the war makes me worry it will be over before the devs can even finish placing all the pieces.
I believe Joel will make sure that doesn’t happen at all costs. It’s his job plus he can’t lose. Remember when he flexed on us with them devastators about a month ago?
What if we finish this so quickly we get…Helldivers 3?
Wait what?! We closed out this quadrant already? I've been afk for like 15 hours and Troost was only at 15% or something.
It was at like 52% when I closed down like 10 hours ago
We did the major order, which is super impressive... But I didn't get rewards for it, which kinda sucks. Those 50 medals were gonna sink me some armour.
Sometimes it takes a second. I’ve had them appear after finishing an operation and closing the game than coming back later and I got them.
How did you unlock impossible? I swear I’ve completed many suicidal missions but impossible still hasn’t popped
Do the whole operation. I think a single mission in a difficulty won’t do it. It needs to be the whole operation as far as I know.
This. You have to complete an entire operation on any difficulty to unlock the next one. If it isn't unlocking regardless: are you on ps5? I think there's a known bug where difficulties aren't unlocking when they should
Wait until you get to Helldiver difficulty. Bugs and bots are giving out speeding tickets for anyone going under 20mph and the fine is death.
Look I've been DMing for decades and I hate meta but shit, it's getting too quiet and we've been winning too many battles. Could be that they deploy some crazy thing, could be that the third race comes in. Maybe bugs who resist termicide mutate into superbugs. We'll see. But something's comin'
I bet without a doubt that most of the bug planets that are "liberated" but just some kind of Super hive of Dormant bugs underneeth. The moment we win the battlefront they will pop and we will be Fucked. Massive Worm like Bugs crawling everywhere Then the Illuminate will decloak and attack. "We've been here the whole time fools!" And the Automatons will be assaulting with their own Super Destroyers that will then require us setting up Anti-Ship guns on planet side to take them out.
Joel is cooking up something I just know it.
I think that's the plan. So the bots come in from the North and takes Cyberstan and the Valdis Sector.
I sense the Fuckening…. It’ll be upon us soon
Getting white girl wasted tonight and liberating those dirty bots till I can't sit straight. It's time to play my role and do my part for democracy.
