Helldivers 2 Major Order is INSANE - Scrap 2 BILLION Bots!

Finally an Automaton Major Order (I've been playing for a week)

Till the other countries are able to start playing again and buy the game the war isn't over and that Major order takes priority.

Love fighting bugs (have 50k+ bug kills) but ballistic shield with new SMG, EAT, incindiary impact grenade (which destroys scout walkers) is SOOO much fun at the moment against bots.

Half the playerbase is gone. I don't think it's getting done...

There's a couple problems with this major order. First off, the Factory Strider riding Bile Titan in the room. This is just rekindling the bug stompers vs bot smashers feud. We "killed 2B bugs in 13 hours" with a bugged counter. Now it's the Automaton's turn and there's now a lot of s*it on the table. First on that is there are still missing divers which hurts. Second is that there are still divers who refuse to fight bots. Third is this order has a proper kill counter which is something bot smashers are going to laud over bug stompers to no end. The other major problem with this major order is the reward. We do this and we'll get the anti-tank mine.....You guys (my choice was always the mines) chose the ABRL Diver Killer-12,000 Mk17 V9 and look what that got us. It was bugged on deployment that required an instant patch. It wasn't the anti-air monster everyone assumed it would be and in fact it's hardly present when there are aerial enemies. After that we got the other weapon "rebalancing" that made no sense. We then got the disappointing warbond and I'm looking at this stratagem like, "Is this thing REALLY done or is it just something you want checked off of your list?" Are we going to get something that actually works as intended out of the box or is this going to be dead on arrival garbage that requires a patch to get to work and further "balances" end up nerfing it into obscurity? I'm not saying it's not worth the attempt, there's just a lot more reasons to question the value of completing the order. Play how you will, but with missing divers, Sony being Sony, and a bad recent history with released content from Arrowhead, it's really REALLY hard to get any motivation to actually join this one.

Damn bruh we don't even have half the numbers of players we did when we did the bug one after this Sony stuff

I'm kind of bored not going to lie. That was really looking forward to smashing with the new guns and yet here I am using the old ones still

This Major Order will probably be failed by us as well, I'm playing against bots on level 5 of difficulty and it's a fuckin nightmare. This is how nerfing weapons and strengthening opponents ends. I just don't want to play.

Where was this order when we were fighting for the creek?

I miss fighting bots, much more fun than bugs.

And watch everyone still only fight the bugs :')

AUTOMATONS ARE MY FAVORITE! Way more potential and dynamic variables. See y’all on the frontlines!

Well we lost like 100k divers....

22:25 that's probably where the SSHD was dispensed from (the hard drive thing you have to carry to the objective)

We were about 87 mil out of 2bil before the 5 hour mark. More likely than not, it will take most of the weekend, but finish about 4 day mark.

2:08 That was happening to me last night too. People would either show up properly, be missing on their portrait, or be fading in and out like a ghost.

this might take few days rather than hours

SES Arbiter of Peace, they have me serving in the medical bay until mid tomorrow. I Just recently was granted access to the new warbond... at least the armor looks cool! I'll see yall on the front. My real hope is that these are older versions of the weapon and the MIC gets us the updated models, hope to Liberty.

Without our buds in the countries that you can’t play the game in until they fix it this is going to be quite hard

This game is bugged to hell with this update. I had a defense mission where rockets quit launching so we failed. Game crashes often and the sound is bugged like crazy. Also I had multiple times where I called in a support weapon and it never came down.
