Helldivers 2 players challenge Arrowhead’s tactics by allowing bots to advance, but remain on course in the current MO

Helldivers 2 players are currently engaged in a unique protest within the game, allowing the Automatons to advance closer to Super Earth in the galactic war. This protest stems from recent changes in the game’s Escalation of Freedom update, particularly nerfs to fire damage, which have sparked debate among players about the direction Arrowhead is taking with its tweaks.

Despite the Automatons‘ proximity to Super Earth, the community is still actively working towards completing the game’s latest Major Order. Players are simultaneously liberating other planets while intentionally allowing the Automatons to progress towards the most crucial planet in the game. The outcome of this protest remains uncertain, with players speculating on what might happen if the Automatons reach Super Earth.

Some players believe that Arrowhead may not have a fully developed Super Earth biome prepared and may halt the Automatons‘ advance or introduce a different storyline if they reach the planet. Others predict a splash screen indicating the fall of Super Earth without actual combat on the planet itself, citing the game’s limitations in urban environments. This protest presents a significant challenge for game master J.O.E.L, who must find a way to surprise players and alter the war’s narrative.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the protest, players are intrigued by the potential outcomes and eagerly await Arrowhead’s response. The studio has a history of incorporating player feedback and meme-driven events into the game, leading many to believe that they will find a creative way to address the protest within the game’s storyline.

As the protest continues to unfold, players are encouraged to share their thoughts on what might happen if the Automatons reach Super Earth. The Helldivers community remains engaged and curious to see how Arrowhead will navigate this unexpected turn of events.
