Helldivers Players Close to Wiping Out Automatons Once and For All

• Operation Swift Disassembly calls for the annihilation of the Automatons in Helldivers 2 by Monday.

• The Automatons now only control 3 planets, down from many just a month ago.

• Players came close to wiping them out after liberating Malevelon Creek.

• The first Helldivers allowed players to eliminate factions for weeks before resetting.

• Signs of a new faction, the Illuminate, appearing suggest the Automatons' end is near.
