Helldivers Players Fail First Major Mission Against Tough New Enemies
-
Helldivers 2 players just failed their first major mission order against the tougher Automaton enemies, losing key planets.
-
New escort missions requiring protecting NPCs proved extremely difficult, requiring more strategy and coordination than past objectives.
-
Developers have a live "game master" who introduces story twists and challenges to surprise players.
-
Failure was likely inevitable by design, as the game master responds to players' actions and moves the story forward.
-
Upcoming additions like mechs and new enemies/stories will continue to evolve the sandbox experience.
