The recent Escalation of Freedom update kicked off Arc 2 in the Helldivers 2 Galactic War, and things are already picking up as the new mysterious Gloom looms over the galaxy as yellow gas is helping the Terminids expand their territory. But, we can’t allow that to happen and it is more important than ever to serve sweet Liber-tea to every enemy that stands in the way of democracy. To do that, it is time to jump into the latest Major Order, which will see players take on both the Automatons and Terminids.
The latest Major Order was a success, with players liberating the new Socoro III planet, while facing the new Terminids such as the Impaler and Spore Charger . “This latest unnatural slew of Termind abominations has been quelled by the intrepid Helldivers. Even the re-emergence of the Impaler could not diminish the Helldivers’ fervor for duty.
However, a new and more potent threat has emerged, one which defies conventional combat. The interstellar spore cloud has continued to grow. It now encompasses several star systems, and is growing more every day.
This unnatural phenomenon has been named The Gloom. Efforts are underway to determine the source and nature of this threat. Analysis of spores from Socorro III show a genetic connection to samples from The Gloom, indicating that it may have been the source of these new Terminds.
The expansion of the cloud will likely spread these new Termind variants to other planets within its vicinity.” Super Earth then gave Helldive.
