New Helldivers 2 Major Order seems suspiciously easy

The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order has gone live, after spending a week fighting the Terminids it is once again back to the Automatons. But this time it will be worth it as the jungle biome is now available for the robots too.

The Helldivers 2 Community Manager Baskinator took to the official Discord server to announce the next Major Order saying,

“The planet X-45 is home to a lost Advanced Weapons Lab from the First Galactic War, buried underneath rubble and abandoned due to dangerously high radiation levels across the planet. The Lab was working on development of a powerful interplanetary battle station. Now, with radiation levels abated to completely safe levels, excavation and recovery of the Lab’s work can begin, which would allow the eventual construction of this battle station.

However, the Automatons have become aware of X-45’s importance, possibly through malicious and deceitful cyber attacks. They have launched an opportunistic assault to rout our cut-off forces in the Ymir Sector. On High Command’s orders, SEAF Forces have begun amassing on Aesir Pass. Soon, we will be ready to initiate a push to break through the Automaton line and relieve our cut off forces.

Until then, the Automaton assault may be slowed, but will be extremely difficult to stop altogether. It is imperative that X-45 be held until the plans for the battle station are recovered. If they fall into the Automatons’ actuators, the results could be disastrous.”

Unusually, this Major Order consists of just one planet to defend from the Automatons, which seems suspiciously easy considering the five-day time limit that we’ve got to complete it. As of writing, X-45 had already been 25% defended, meaning it should be completed in a matter of hours. But the most exciting part of this Major Order is that X-45 is a jungle planet, the same as Gacrux.

After having experienced the jungle biome against the Terminids it will be interesting to see whether it is a good location to fight the Automatons. It works well for the Terminids but I’m not sure that it will translate as well to fighting robots. But only time will tell.
