Listen, listen to me, you need to hear this, man. I was there. As the battle for Malevelon Creek raged, the communities of Mort and Helldivers 2 tasted sweet victory and painful defeat in the space of 24 hours.
Yeah, right after everyone in the trenches got really pissed off at some farmers they thought might be hurting the war effort, right before we got all the lost money back. We know we have to keep pushing into the galaxy, liberating it in the name of Super-Earth, trying to end this fucking galactic war, man.

I was there, man, when Malifron Creek—that jungle-covered, robot-crowded planet we call “Robot Vietnam”—falls after hours of struggle, man.There I was, watching a clip of the moment the Helldiver 2 subreddit lost all hope, watch tweets and meme Roll over from the battered soldiers who were just struggling to hold on in that hell.
I saw the notification, man. When the planet liberation indicator drops to 0%, I see the retreat command appear simultaneously with the words “Planet Lost”. When our fellow citizens, like user UntrustedAlly, are unceremoniously kicked off the surface like fleas on a dog, I whisper, “fallen, but not forgotten.” I swear we’ll come back and fight hardertake back our planet, man.
I’d been there a few hours before, in the thick of it, having just taken full control of the planet Mott and successfully defended it without any sacrifice of our own blood, sweat, and tears. I yelled on Reddit and kissed my comrades. When one user wrote: “The blood we shed for Mott forged an everlasting bond between me and my steadfast brothers and sisters. Our stand symbolizes the unyielding shield of justice and freedom. Damn…I Love democracy.”
I thought it would last forever, but it didn’t. Because the conflicts in Helldivers 2 are ever-changing, ever-evolving, designed to challenge us and push us to our limits to get what we crave, even if the rewards seem a little meager compared to the sacrifices involved.
I knew we’d be back, once we finished the meme on the mechanic we were all invested and now Arrow has resolved the server issues.
I don’t know what the future holds for us as we try to get the best Hellraiser 2 campaign and major orders possible, but I’ve heard that if you check out this feature you can tell how great this game is . Assuming its trajectory mirrors the first helldivers, it could be farther out.
