Helldivers 2 throws everything except in the kitchen sink on one planet, and players are still persevering

Hell 2 Having been out for over a year, players are returning to one of its most notorious departments to resist the reinvasion of the automaton. But doing so is a new line, with hellmen around the world opposing the impossible difficulty of rejecting robots.
For those who don't dive, the automaton is one of the enemy factions in Hell 2; a terrifying Skynet-style machine that played a central role in the big game conflict a year ago. The invasion eventually revolved around Malevelon Creek, whose jungle environment and the deadly hail of laser fires led to its nickname of “Robot Vietnam”. Helldivers 2 players struggle hard and lost the earth, Then liberate in a painful turnaround.
This stream becomes a legend in the community of Hells, The corner commemorating victory Sent to the player. Now, a year later The automaton is back There is more firepower and plans to reattack the creek. The main command went out: defend Malevelon Creek in any way necessary.
Helldivers 2 players start to enter the area around Sevrin industry, which is the Galaxy map area where Malevelon Creek is located. Form a defense line. The four planets – Vandalon IV, Ingmar, PöpliIX and Dolph – create a barrier between the invading automata and the path to the creek. PöpliIX was hit hard.
“What do I miss?” asked A user in r/helldiversnoting the sheer chaos that broke out on Pöplix. As of this morning, the planet was at the invasion level of level 40. The automatons descend in the Incineration Corps (special units using flame throwers and combustor ammunition) and the Jet Brigade (special jump group models). The ammunition from the supply pod is Decreased to 50%and then freeze well for transportation interruption, Reduce reinforcements (Rebirth) to three of all operations of Pöpliix.
In short, Pöplix throws everything. As A player said“By protecting a legendary planet, we created another.” But here’s a fun part: Arrow throws everything away from the kitchen sink in Pöpliix, players love it.
“I’ve been playing games since launching, but the struggles about Pöpliix are different,” a Thread says. “Two factors of two robots immediately clash? Absolutely confusing. There is a real bet and a sense of loss – just like the frontline is constantly changing, but everything is still frustrating. It's not only another mission, but it's actually like a war.”
Over time, the slow escalation of power caused an interesting dilemma in hell, and they found themselves increasingly stuck around the corner, resisting the worst odds. Players have been responding, diving into new fronts to try to stick with it.
Pöpliix also saw Arrowhead's system perform well in player input. With the robot winning one hour left, the player manages to implement DSS Eagle Storm. This provides the hellers with the opportunity. The robot front line cannot move forward within 24 hours, which gives players a chance to swing the earth backwards.
The swing and the ensuing ammunition and rebirth restrictions only add more excitement around the boundaries around PöpliIX. Multiple subfactors, limitations, and high levels of enemy invasion lead to a strong speed drop in PöpliIX. Oh, I forgot to mention: there are strong heat warnings and fire tornadoes.
It seems like another legendary clash will take place in Malevelon Creek, but the focus has changed and this invasion has begun a new moment.
“It was the community that made Malevolen Creek the legend of today,” said one poster. “And I believe pöpliix deserves a similar status.” I personally tend to agree with them.
As of this writing, there is still one day, less than 20 hours before the main order ends. Robots can still throw more into the industry, trying to break through the lines created by players and push towards the stream. Either way, it feels like we are seeing a new form of Heller legend before our eyes.
