- The Galactic War keeps Helldivers 2 interesting, although many players avoid the Automatons due to a perceived higher difficulty.
A gamer online has shown off a hilarious clip from Helldivers 2 that shows exactly why the Automatons are struggling in the Galactic War. Although the Automatons are typically seen as more difficult than the Terminids in Helldivers 2, this clip shows that they aren’t always perfect enemies.
The Galactic War in Helldivers 2 is the ongoing struggle for the Helldivers to reclaim control of the galaxy from the Automatons and the Terminids. Players can choose which of the two factions to face off against, although there’s no doubt that the Terminids are the more popular choice at the moment. Arrowhead Game Studios is still trying to find a solid difficulty balance between the two, and using Major Orders in Helldivers 2 to convince players to fight the Automaton threat. This clip shows that in certain situations, the Automatons may not be the huge threat they seem to be.
Redditor RogueTaco shared the amazing clip, which begins with two Automaton bot drops coming in at the same time. One is dropping a tank, but rather than finding a clear landing zone, it instead launches it right into the other ship. This causes an enormous explosion, killing everyone involved and making the Helldivers’ lives much easier. While using Stratagems in Helldivers 2 is usually the most efficient way to make a big bang, this is a great alternative for players who are able to reproduce this, although that would likely be difficult to achieve consistently.

Helldivers 2 features a unique brand of chaos that gamers have immediately warmed to. As a result, there have already been a ton of hilarious clips that showcase how chaotic things can get on the battlefield. Players are figuring out exactly what is possible in the game, with some funny results. Recently, one Helldivers 2 player discovered a great way to troll toxic teammates, offering gamers a great solution to one of the game’s biggest problems.
The ongoing success of Helldivers 2 is one of the most pleasant gaming surprises of 2024 so far. Arrowhead Game Studios created an amazing title, and gamers have rewarded the developer with a runaway success, dwarfing the original game. To its credit, Arrowhead Game Studios has done a great job at rising to the occasion, continuing to keep the game fresh with frequent updates and bug fixes. Server capacity issues threatened the early momentum of Helldivers 2, but those days now feel like a distant memory. Hopefully, this level of support from the studio continues well into the future.
