Arrowhead Recreation Studio’s Helldivers 2 could also be previous its peak reputation, however the co-op multiplayer shooter nonetheless has a really lively group. So lively, in truth, that gamers managed to finish Helldivers 2’s newest Main Order earlier than lots of them acquired to take part.
What occurred with the final Helldivers 2 Main Order?
Yesterday’s Helldivers 2 Main order tasked gamers with killing 100 million of the insectoid Terminids, “ideally utilizing quite a lot of means — to be able to support scientific analysis.” Nonetheless, that process might have been too simple for Tremendous Earth’s strongest troopers, who killed 100 million bugs inside eight hours. Whereas spectacular, this sadly signifies that some gamers didn’t get to take part.
“Guys we simply began how have you ever executed this,” reads one put up on the Helldivers 2 subreddit from when the Main order was “solely” at 86.7%. “BROTHER I JUST GOT ON HOPING TO KILL SOME BUGS WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS ALREADY OVER,” one other person commented in all caps a couple of hours later. “I feel AH underestimated how a lot the group enjoys murdering bugs lol,” one other participant wrote.
That third commenter is perhaps on to one thing. Posts over the previous couple of months some hyperbolic proclamations that Helldivers 2 was dying after updates slowed down. Whereas an exaggeration, the sport’s final main peak on Sunday noticed round 47,100 gamers, based on SteamDB. That’s a great distance from its all-time peak of over 458,700 gamers. It’s doable that Arrowhead Recreation Studios wished the newest Helldivers 2 Main Order to be one thing achievable by a smaller group. If that was the case, nonetheless, the developer might have overcorrected.
