The new update “Machinery of Oppression” from Helldivers 2 is causing a surge of players again, but the new operation is not easy.
What kind of update is this? The new update Machinery of Oppression brought some new enemies to Helldivers 2 with the cyborgs. The new mission of the brave soldiers from Übererde is to conquer the home world of the Automatons. But on Cyberstan, as the home world is called, the cyborgs and robots are not just waiting for their rescue.
Here you can see the trailer for the new update:
Great challenge on Cyberstan
How does the fight go on Cyberstan? Many of the players who logged back into Helldivers 2 specifically for the new epic battle were eagerly awaited by the new enemies. The over 170,000 players on Steam, who, according to SteamDB, jumped into the fight on Tuesday evening, probably failed right away.
Despite the many players who are rushing into the enemies in Cyberstan, the campaign there is still at the very beginning. No major breakthrough was achieved within the first day, which is probably mainly due to the strong resistance of the enemies.
The Reddit forum of Helldivers 2 is full of memes and posts complaining about both the unfairly strong enemies and the noob re-entrants. One veteran expressed his frustration in his post on Reddit. He complains: “It’s the damn enemy headquarters. Pull up your damn pants!”
The half-serious outburst of the worthy warrior from Übererde attracts many sensible comments discussing whether the new event really is too difficult or if appearances are deceiving.
Are the enemies really that strong? Yes, the new enemies on Cyberstan are indeed strong, but not impossible to defeat. Veterans explain that now on the home world of the Automatons there is finally a real challenge: “Honestly, I like this a lot. I have always wanted to experience the true taste of the Automatons. It’s so exciting and exhilarating!” writes Reddit user ChronoMonarch.
But the new Vox Engine, a heavily armed tank with multiple cannons that moves slowly and relentlessly through the levels, causes trouble. Reddit user usernames_are_pain writes: “My ONLY criticism is that you lose when you get a double or triple Vox Engine bot drop somewhere you actually have to be. Best to extract. Otherwise, it’s great […].”
Helldivers 2 offers many different difficulty levels to choose from. If it’s too difficult on Cyberstan, it’s no shame to have fun in a lower mode. So far, the fans of Helldivers 2 have not seen any surprises, but they might still be lurking as they push further on Cyberstan: Fans are sure: The developers of Helldivers 2 are hiding something again with the big update
