We're seemingly into the final stages of Helldivers 2's Democracy Space Station saga, thank Super Earth. That said, the latest Major Order's another of the ones that are designed to test players on the the bot and bug fronts, so you might not be in for an easy ride, even if the bug killing part is sorted pretty rapidly.
Since late September, Helldivers 2 players have been exterting a lot of effort to get a big space station - one that sounds like it should have a big impact on Galactiv War gameplay - built via their Major Orders. Following the conclusion of the latest mission, Arrowhead's suggested the "final phase" of construction is here, and folks are speculating about how long a phase it might be.
The dominion of hated Super Earth threatens to expand afresh as Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt toys openly with the prospect of Helldivers 2 cross-over games, beginning with tabletop wargame Trench Crusade and extending to, well, take your pick. Arrowhead's appetite for other licenses appears insatiable. It's the kind of sheer expansionism you'd expect from Earth's loathsome regime, whose "managed democracy" propaganda continues to enthrall thousands of hapless disposable imperialists. Pilestedt even wants to make a Fifth Element game! Milla Jovovich is spinning in her grave. Milla Jovovich isn't dead, you say? Well, that's good news at least.
Look, pretty much everyone loves Helldivers 2, even if things have looked a bit shaky on that front on a few occasions this year, and sometimes the best way to show that is by demanding Arrowhead fill it with crossovers. We're not talking about official crossovers, and Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt's just run down his personal list of ones that might be cool in theory, in addition to saying a thing about the possibility of big PVE battles.
It's Helldivers 2 patch time, and right off the bat, I'm sad to reveal that this latest one - unlike last week's update - doesn't include a fish being sent to the great beyond. Feel free to vent your disappoinment for a couple of minutes before reading on.
