As you may know, Helldivers 2<\/a> players are being thrust into a new frontier of robotic warfare, as new defense missions have been added to the game alongside a community-wide call to action<\/a>. However, while these warriors for liberty had previously been scoring win after win on the galactic map, this recent hurdle is proving troublesome.\n<\/p>\n

The reason why is simple. Rather than take out a certain number of robots, or destroy various buildings in the name of democracy, these new defense missions require players to evacuate 30 scientists from a human colony. This starts off easy enough, however soon waves upon waves of Automatons swarm the base, making the process a whole lot more difficult.\n<\/p>\n

There’s also somewhat of a learning curve. Unlike other missions, landing close to the objective is a good idea, as landing too far out can waste valuable evacuation time. Second, fresh recruits may not know where the scientists are located, or how to actually prompt them to leave their bunkers and rush to the escape shuttle. All this results in progress slowing, and more robots rushing you.\n<\/p>\n
