TheHelldiverscommunity has had a rough time lately, and the community just failed a third Major Order. But things may be turning around. A new Major Order has arrived, and victory means anew dual-autocannon ExosuitforHelldivers 2players. And they only have to liberate a single Automaton planet.
What could go wrong?
The news was announced by the development team following the end of the recent Major Order. Players weren’t able to rack up the 3 billion enemy kills needed, so one could say that the MO to follow feels like a reprieve: Liberate the planet Varylia 5 to halt the Automaton “Petafactory,” and you will earn the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit. Mechsshould be better now, so don’t worry.
MAJOR ORDER: Surveillance has uncovered an Automaton “Petafactory”; its only purpose to mass-produce heartless weapons of war.Liberate it and we can convert it to produce en masse the dual-Autocannon EXO-49 EMANCIPATOR EXOSUIT.pic.twitter.com/r2yZeCvY2D
NewHelldivers 2mech to bust out the big guns — two of them
Two autocannons are always better than one, and that’s precisely what the new mech can bring theHelldivers 2community — so long as they can complete the latest task. Compared to dusting more than 3.14 billion foes, however, liberating one Automaton planet should be easier than pi. The planet itself, Varylia 5 (located in the Trigon sector), is already available for dives. You won’t need to liberate other planets to free upthe supply line; the fight begins today.
Successfully completing the Major Order awards the EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit, the first new mechsince March. Equipped with two autocannons, the mech is ideal for taking out heaviessuch as the Bile Titan, but it can also deal plenty of damage to enemy spawners, dropships, and other destructible targets.
As a fan of the autocannon, this pleases me (and so does that Personal Order). The MO will also award you with 50 Warbond Medals, which should come in handy if you haven’t gotten everything out ofthe latest Warbond.
The Major Order ends in five days, which should be more than enough time to clear a planet of bots. Fans on Reddit seem excited. Following theCEO’s moveto the development side of things, with luck, this could be the start of a much-needed rebound.
