Escalation of Freedom, Helldivers 2’s newest replace, hasn’t gone down effectively with followers, a lot in order that gamers are protesting by letting the Automatons win.
Final week, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead launched one of many recreation’s largest updates shortly, and rapidly gamers felt sad with the nerfs, ensuing within the recreation sliding right down to a combined ranking on Steam. Even Arrowhead’s CEO says a number of the devs themselves are sad with how issues have gone down. And whereas these Steam critiques are clearly a method gamers are expressing their frustration, as noticed by GamesRadar, there’s one other, probably much more drastic tactic being taken up. Evidenced by a preferred put up on the sport’s subreddit, and the unofficial Helldivers 2 galaxy map, many gamers are merely refusing to take down any Automatons, and now the robotic baddies are getting worryingly near Tremendous Earth.

“Although it takes the final drop of my blood, I’ll see the galaxy freed as soon as extra and if I can’t put it aside out of your failure Managed Democracy, then let the galaxy burn!” wrote a consumer in Reddit, clearly nonetheless making an attempt to remain in character as many gamers have down for the reason that recreation launched earlier this yr. One other consumer even notes that gamers refusing to play ensuing within the bots within the bots encroachment in direction of Tremendous Earth is definitely fairly “real looking” due to the nerfs, saying “Sucky weapons and outclassed artilery lose wars! So, we won’t defend Tremendous Earth as a result of our enemies have higher weapons than us and Tremendous Earth can solely produce crap for us to combat with.”
It is clearly unclear if Arrowhead really accounted for the Automatons making it so near Tremendous Earth, and even probably efficiently invading the planet, so we’ll should see how lengthy this goes on for. A hammy rationalization as to why the Helldivers abruptly win most likely will not go down too effectively, so it is a tight line to steadiness – let’s hope the devs handle to take care of gamers’ issues earlier than the battle is over.
