It seems we can not go greater than a day or two with out some new Helldivers 2 thriller, because the GM-controlled recreation retains shelling out new stay story content material involving the playerbase as its pawns, intermixed with new additions to the sport on the identical time. It ain’t the traditional patching course of, that’s for positive.
Within the wake of the profitable deployment of Termicide within the Umlaut sector, two contemporary mysteries have emerged.
1. Blue beams at the moment are seen, often, taking pictures down from the sky. They virtually appear to be stratagem calldowns, however as far as we all know, they aren’t that, and gamers are questioning if that is some Automaton ploy and even one thing from a brand new enemy faction on the verge of arriving. Naturally, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has come out to say each that they aren’t actual, and so they can’t harm you.
2. For a quick time period, there was a single participant that was on Cyberstan, an already liberated planet within the Valdis sector. Even when one thing is underneath Tremendous Earth management, you simply can’t…go there, so everyone seems to be questioning who was there and why, with many speculating it was the GM Joel plotting one thing. If this was one other planet, you perhaps may dismiss it as only a bug.
However that is Cyberstan, the homeworld of the Cyborg Nation which has an…fascinating historical past. Right here’s some lore:
“Cyberstan, the Cyborg Nation’s homeworld, is a barren snow-covered wasteland on the galactic fringe. At any time when it’s conquered by Tremendous Earth, the Cyborgs are then “democratized” by power, coerced into the voting cubicles by the specter of dropping their civil rights. Tremendous Earth’s Military Tactical Command invariably stations troops on the planet for a interval of 5 years to “hold the peace and run authorities positions”, after which interval the Cyborgs’ tradition is meant to have transitioned to a “totally democratic” one (by Tremendous Earth requirements). In the meantime, the Tremendous Earth Development Firm (SECC), a authorities contractor, takes over the huge forges and industrial complexes of Cyberstan. Ultimately, inevitably, one other bombing begins this complete cycle anew.”
So, blue beams? Somebody hanging out on Cyberstan? This seems like a set-up for the following main order, and maybe some type of insurrection on the planet. So far as we all know, the Automatons are creations or descendants of Cyborgs, and I ponder if we is likely to be getting totally new Cyborg items, if Cyberstan does find yourself being a plot level.
We’ll most likely know at reset time subsequent week, till then, watch the sky for blue beams and watch Cyberstan for extra Joel sightings, or whoever it’s.
