Directive from the Galactic Game Master
Under the command of Joel, the esteemed galactic game master, a directive has been issued, urging players to prioritize the liberation of the Automaton-occupied planet Troost. This comes in response to alarming intelligence suggesting an imminent Automaton offensive dubbed "The Reclamation." To counter this threat, Operation Swift Disassembly has been launched, aiming for the complete eradication of the Automaton forces.
A Rift in Unity
Despite the urgency of the Major Order, a significant segment of the Helldivers player base remains entrenched in their battle against the relentless Terminids. Statistics reveal a stark divide: while approximately 101,000 players have rallied against the Automatons, an equally formidable 87,000 persist in their campaign against the Terminid menace. This schism underscores the inherent preference for familiar adversaries among the player community.
Dissent in the Ranks
Amidst the rallying cries for unity, dissenting voices emerge. Some Helldivers express reluctance to shift their focus, citing a deep-seated preference for battling the familiar foes of the Terminids. "I like killing bugs more," remarks one player, encapsulating the sentiment shared by many. The Automatons' lack of popularity is palpable, with sentiments of disdain and disinterest permeating player discourse.
The Countdown to Victory
With less than three days remaining in the Major Order, the fate of Super Earth hangs in the balance. As efforts intensify on Vandalon IV, progress inches forward, with over four percent of the planet liberated. The success of Operation Swift Disassembly hinges on the collective determination of Helldivers to rise above personal preferences and unite against the looming Automaton threat.
