"Helldivers 2 Community Unites to Liberate Planets, Build Oil Farms, and Confront Threats"

TL;DR
Over 250,000 Helldivers 2 players have successfully completed a Major Order to liberate planets from the Automatons, leading to a new directive to clear the way for E-710 farms by battling bugs on three planets. With the Automatons defeated, players are now focused on the bug front, but whispers of an upcoming counteroffensive and the potential reintroduction of the Illuminate faction from the first Helldivers game are stirring speculation. Additionally, new gear and content are set to be released, and the game supports cross-platform play between PS5 and PC.
