Did you hear the news? The Automatons are all gone<\/a>. Yep, the Helldivers 2 community defeated them\u2014they're scrapped, cooked, never coming back (according to Super Earth). We all suspect a story twist will bring them back eventually, but for now, half of the game's enemies are really unavailable to fight.<\/p>\n

Except, the Helldivers 2 galaxy map still says there are thousands <\/em>of divers active on the recently liberated Automaon planets in the Severin system. What gives?<\/p>\n

As one of those players still able to fight bots, I barely know myself, but I can confirm the map isn't lying. Some players are still able to access Maia and other Automaton planets, as shared<\/a> by several<\/a> Reddit users in the last 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“IT DOESN'T END TILL I SAY IT DOES,” wrote user fulfilled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We're still fighting 'em on Maia! SEND DUDES,” said Suvaius<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If I hadn't seen it for myself, I'd just assume these people were sharing old screenshots, but it's true: there are divers out there hunting down the last survivors of the robot army. Unfortunately, that means the parades on Super Earth celebrating the “full eradication”<\/a> of the Automatons are premature.<\/p>\n

I think it has something to do with players returning to Helldivers 2 who haven't played in several days. The last time I played solo was a few days ago. I was in the middle of a campaign on the robot planet Maia, so when I logged in today my ship was still in orbit there and able to select a campaign.<\/p>\n

The mission loaded normally and then there I was, surrounded by Automatons as if the war never ended. Of course, if I wanted to keep up my robo lingering, I probably shouldn't have solo dove into a level 7 mission without a shield backpack. The bots tore through my five lives in record time, then I was back on my ship. This time I wasn't able to pick another campaign, officially ending my extended stay on the Automaton front.<\/p>\n

Hey guys… im still fighting the bots<\/a> from r\/Helldivers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
