[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63323, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/helldivers-ii']Helldivers 2[/URL]’s ongoing meta-narrative took another twist this week after players failed the last Major Order and thus failed to unlock a promised new Stratagem. The explosive PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2s-latest-major-order-kill-2-billion-automatons-to-unlock-a-new-stratagem']had set the community a stiff challenge[/URL]: kill 2 billion Automatons in five days and the Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem would unlock. But despite players’ best efforts, Helldivers came 78% towards the stated goal, and in an in-universe Galactic War update from Super Earth High Command posted to [URL='https://discord.com/channels/1102970375731691612/1205167948646449253/1240332898456830122']the Helldivers Discord[/URL], Arrowhead signaled it would hold the the Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem back — for now. “After five days of intense decommissioning of Automatons into scrap metal for use in advanced anti-tank mines, the Helldivers came 78% towards the stated goal of 2 billion dead bots,” the message reads. “This means that the new stratagem will continue to elude the Helldiver arsenal for now…” It’s perhaps no surprise to see this Major Order failed, given Arrowhead had warned it had fixed a bug that caused a previous Major Order to kill 2 billion bugs to be completed too quickly.
