Helldivers 2: New Major Order Issued as Terminid Bugs Threaten Veld
Latest Update: Veld Liberated in Record Time, Bugs Spread to Heeth and Angel’s Venture
The Helldivers 2 community is gearing up for another intense battle as a surprise infestation of Terminid bugs has spread across the planet of Veld in the Orion Sector. With the threat of the bugs spreading further, players must unite to liberate Veld before it’s too late.
Background
Helldivers 2’s Galactic War is a massive metagame where players fight against Terminid bugs and Automaton robots to gain control over planets and sectors in the galaxy. Veld, a planet remarkably similar to the fan-favorite Automaton planet Malevelon Creek, has recently been overrun by the Terminid bugs, posing a significant danger to the galaxy.
Major Order: Mission Critical
In response to the infestation, a Major Order has been issued, urging the Helldivers community to unite their forces and liberate Veld. The clock is ticking, as the operation must be completed by Monday morning. Success in this mission will earn every player 45 Warbond Medals, valuable rewards to be used with Helldivers 2’s battle passes.
New Update: Bugs Spreading Risking Further Outbreak
News has just come in that Helldivers 2’s community showcased their strength and determination by swiftly liberating Veld in a little over 24 hours. However, the fight is far from over. The Terminid bugs have now surfaced on neighboring planets Heeth and Angel’s Venture, posing a new threat. Helldivers must ensure the bugs are eradicated from both worlds before the expiry of the latest Major Order next Thursday morning.
This campaign brings a new twist. Not only do the missions aim to free the planets, but the community must also maintain control over them, actively preventing any new outbreaks from occurring throughout the week. As support, Joel the Game Master, who possesses god-like power, has granted everyone a temporary bonus Eagle Napalm Strike stratagem to aid in the field.
Challenges Await: Familiar Terrain
Veld’s terrain presents formidable challenges, reminiscent of Malevelon Creek’s notorious difficulty. The planet’s dark and hazy blue lighting, along with its dense jungle vegetation, hinder movement and visibility, making it even tougher to combat the infestation. However, with the community’s dedication and skill, Veld was successfully liberated in a remarkably short time, fueled by the unwavering efforts of nearly 250,000 Helldivers in the battle.
Consequences of Failure
Veld’s proximity to Super Earth makes its liberation paramount. If the bugs are not contained within the four-day time frame, there is a risk of them spreading to other nearby Orion worlds, including Angel’s Venture, Heeth, and even to planets in the Celeste Sector like Slif and Moradesh. The proximity of the infestation to our home planet adds a sense of urgency to the mission, showcasing the ironic reality that humanity has inadvertently created this problem due to its relation with the Terminids.
Joel, the Game Master, Sets the Stage
The recent discovery of Joel, the Game Master, who controls many aspects of the Galactic War, has attracted attention. Joel is responsible for selecting both Major Orders and personal missions for players. In addition, he exerts influence over the progression and direction of the war. With his strategic choices, he ensures that the conflict in the Galactic War becomes even more intricate and sophisticated over time, guaranteeing a captivating experience for the Helldivers 2 community.
Continued Development and Cross-Platform Power
Helldivers 2 has seen a series of successes following its explosive launch. Server capacity issues have been overcome, allowing the developers to focus on improving and expanding the game. Upcoming additions, such as the colossal armored mechs showcased in the “Report for Duty” trailer and leaked gameplay on Reddit, have further heightened excitement within the community. An official roadmap is expected soon, promising continued growth and excitement in the Helldivers 2 universe.
Helldivers 2 is now available for PS5 and PC, priced at $39.99. It has already been recognized as one of the best PC games of the year. Cross-platform play between PS5 and PC ensures that players can engage in thrilling cooperative action, regardless of their platform of choice.
