I remember him teaching me how to dodge the chargers, taking down bile titans with the railgun, etc. We faced the hordes of the Automaton scourge together and blew up more Terminid holes than I can count.”

My 20 year old battle brother passed away 3 years ago. To this day, I still see his username on Discord, Steam, and other platforms and fondly remember the many good gaming memories we shared,” adding, “I will talk to the team about how to remember one of the fallen.” . As my grandmother used to say: ‘Grief is for those who are still alive.'”
An example that has demonstrated the strong connection that has been created within the Helldivers 2 community, which may end up inspiring an emotional tribute that will keep this player alive within the title itself.
Players have abandoned the campaign against automatons because they think it is frustrating and unfair
In Helldivers 2, players must divide their fight to fight against two enemy groups simultaneously, Terminids and Automata, both factions being totally different in their functioning and, apparently, in difficulty, which makes players not feel comfortable facing the legion of robots, but against that of insects, and everything indicates that the reason is balance, since automatons are much more deadly than insects.
The automatons are characterized by having a greater ease of killing during the fight, because the shots, rockets and blows are more accurate and deadly, which has generated frustration among the players, who find that these missions result in a spiral of constant death where they respawn and die too quickly. This frustration has been reflected in discussions on platforms like Reddit, where players express their desire to avoid planets dominated by automatons.
