Helldivers 2’s Machinery of Oppression update is tasking Super Earth’s finest with conquering the “dark heart of socialism” and so far, things are not going well.
The second phase of the invasion of the Automaton homeworld of Cyberstan tasks Helldivers with slaying 700 million Automaton forces in the next day or so in order to clear the way for a full-scale invasion. That part is going well enough, with players as of writing having already defeated well over 270 million Automatons.
It’s the other part of the operation that is looking dicey. As part of the invasion, the entire Helldivers 2 community collectively has 200 million lives in order to conquer Cyberstan. Just a few hours after the update went live, the community has already lost more than half of that number, with around 94 million lives remaining currently.
As detailed in a blog post from developer Arrowhead Studios, the invasion of Cyberstan is a “great risk” and “every death will be counted.” If the reinforcement counter should reach zero, the battle will be lost.
“Helldivers, we cannot lose to this renewed Cyborg threat,” the blog reads. “Your objectives must be completed while ensuring maximal lifespans for all divers.
