Helldivers 2 Heads to Cyberstan as Automatons Build a Planet-Killer
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Helldivers 2 players are heading to Cyberstan to stop the Automatons from building a stolen planet-killing space station, backed by newly added tanks and heavy weapons.
The galactic war for democracy is escalating in a familiar direction, as Connor Makar reports for Eurogamer. The Automatons have successfully stolen blueprints for Super Earth's Star of Peace space station. Now, the robotic faction is working on an unauthorized, planet-destroying replica. This high-stakes narrative pivot has sent players rushing back to Cyberstan, the iconic home planet from the original Helldivers, to shut down the project before it goes online.
Community number-crunching suggests the current push might be an uphill battle. Tracking via the Helldivers 2 subreddit shows that player reserves are depleting rapidly, raising questions about whether the community can secure victory without some gentle steering from game master Joel. Fortunately, Arrowhead is dropping some serious hardware into the theater of war just in time. The latest update introduces multi-person tanks alongside a fresh premium warbond featuring the LAS-16 trident and a massive melee hammer for frontline brawlers.
This update hits right as Sony brings Helldivers 2 to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, opening the floodgates for a fresh wave of recruits. As cross-platform squads jump into the fray with new vehicles and loadouts, the community-driven narrative continues to prove why live service games thrive on these shared, cinematic moments. Whether the Helldivers can pull off a miracle defense of Cyberstan remains to be seen, but the road to victory is going to require every ounce of coordination the player base can muster.
