On Thursday, Helldivers 2 received a new feature. big order To free a specific planet from the automaton, Tien Kwan. reason? This is a planet that produces mechs, and the reward for successful release is the release of a large number of mechs into the wider game.
This order was issued 21 hours ago, and as of this writing, players are less than 5% free from unlocking these mechs, with over 120,000 healers as we speak. Divers are taking the fight, which is over two-thirds of the live player base.
All of this is a perfect example of why Helldivers 2 is so successful. Because in other games, a mech would simply be patched with a new update, whereas a large community event could write it into the story. Like this, and it’s great.
I’ve talked before about how much I hate most community events in games. Because events always feel inevitable to complete and it’s just like watching a clock. If a player is about to fail, sometimes all you have to do is move the goalposts to keep the game from failing.
Now, as we’ve already seen in Helldiver 2; can Failure. Players have been asked to liberate planets before, but they were simply overrun by automatons and those planets collapsed. I doubt they won’t be able to unlock the mech unless he does some GM nonsense at the last minute, but I’m willing to bet on Arrowhead. will do We’ve let them fail, even if it means delaying the mech’s release. The idea that the GM (reportedly a man named Joel) personally pulls the strings of the galactic war is the linchpin in holding everything together. Not knowing what’s going to happen next is what makes this game so engaging week after week. It’s the wild west.
By the time you read this, mechs will probably have been sprinkled throughout the game and unlocked on a regular basis, seemingly at random, but will likely become more widely available in the future. While players can enjoy the fruits of their labor, other strategies, weapons, and new enemy races will also be introduced, so expect them all to be woven into the weekly story at some point. Masu. How long will “Let’s spread democracy!” last? The storyline doesn’t need much change to keep players hooked, but so far it seems pretty good.
