Helldivers 2's intergalactic conflict continues to rage on, and an opportunity to secure something truly decisive has arisen. Having recently saved stranded and sick children and succeeded in sucking an entire planet into a black hole, the latest Major Order directs players to defend the planet of X45, where plans for a "powerful interplanetary battle station" have been unearthed.
Over on Reddit, players are preparing to take the plunge, warily noting Super Earth's assurances that "radiation levels abated to completely safe levels" before diving in (thanks, VG247). The Automatons are aware of these plans and have launched an assault on the Ymir sector, so Helldivers must dig in until SEAF forces can be deployed in sufficient numbers to secure the site.
With player numbers naturally receding, now would be a good time for developer Arrowhead to pull out the big guns, and it doesn't get much bigger than an interplanetary battle station. If successful, how this asset could be used remains to be seen. Could it be a new type of stratagem, perhaps, or (pie in the sky) be used to guard routes on the Galactic War map?
How has your war been progressing? Are you still booting up Helldivers 2? If you've taken some extended shore leave, what would it take to draw you back? Let us know in the comments section below.

Had it a couple of months and play once a week if the boys’ schedule allows for it. Doing our patriotic duty and playing on July 4th here in the US of A.
Would be nice if they increased the resources max. I'm maxed out on everything and bought everything in the war bonds lol
It would be nice if they bring new faction and mode/s ...or something different....... It's time....
It would be nice if I knew what in the heck Helldivers articles like this even mean in gaming terms rather than in-universe lingo.
Like, does this mean a new map?
New enemies?
Does this change how the game is played?
New cosmetics?
Or is this all just people playing the same thing over and over again until certain telemetric data from matches reaches a set level (e.g. kill count, matches won, etc) for their world objective to be met?
@GamingFan4Lyf
The game has major orders and personal orders. The major order usually relates to the story and is a community-wide goal. For example, there may be a major order to liberate a planet for whatever reason. Sometimes, the reason is to get a new strategem (a weapon or ability you can call upon like an air strike or a defensive turret). Other times, that major order exists simply to unfold a bit more of the story or set an event up.
Every time you successfully complete a mission, you liberate the planet a fraction of a percentage. When the planet is fully liberated, it means it's fully in Super Earth's control.
A personal order is a personal goal. Sometimes, that is something like getting 100 kills with a machine gun.
It's an incredible game. Hopefully, I helped with some of your questions.
I hope this battle station is more effective than the Menkent Line of defenses we established. Those defenses were overrun almost immediately and didn't do a thing.
Recently re-downloaded this, it’s such a blast
Haven't dived since the recent Game now more Fun Patch, but this sounds interesting
