Helldivers 2 grunts suspect Illuminate interference as Automaton distractions and a last-minute update contribute to a Major Order failure: "Illuminate is controlling High Command"
It's a major blow in the fig🅺ht to defend Super Earth

Oh dear. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2's big battle for Super Earth kicked off earlier this month as the democracy-hating 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Illuminate invaded our beloved home planet, but apparently no amount of pure, unfiltered patriotism and sweet liberty was enough to 澳洲幸运5开奖号🎃码历史查询:keep eve⛎ryone focused on the task at hand, with the latest Major Order ending in failure.
Last Friday, Helldivers were given their latest, most crucial orders in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码♈历史查询❀:fight against the Illuminate invasion, requiring them to successfully extract from Illuminate missions 20,000,000 times to hold the Mega Cities and hold off our foes. However, despite passing 96% completion, Super Earth's finest didn't manage 💎to secure a victory, and some are convinced that Illuminate interference at High Command is to blame.
Why? Well, while this Illuminate-centric Major Order was ongoing, Helldivers received a separate Major Order diverting them away from Super Earth entirely. It's still ongoing for the next three days, asking soldiers to kill 200,000,000 Automatons in order to secure scrap♒ metal and bring the Democracy Space Station back online. A noble cause, to be clear, but certainly not the priority in the face of protecting – as the latest update calls it – the Heart of Democracy itself.
"DO NOT DEVIATE! At this current pace we will fail the squid order. I repeat DO NOT DEVIATE!" of one desperate Helldiver, begging their comrades not to get distracted. "Focus on Super Earth! They are trying to distract us!" , along with an image proclaiming that "the Illuminate haveꦉ taken over our communications array."
"𒆙Illuminate is controlling High Command," suggested another, sharing a gif of an Illuminate at a computer, sending out the Automaton M♍ajor Order itself.

"THERE WAS NO OFFICIAL DISPATCH IN 𓃲THE DISCORD, OUR COMMS ARE COMPROMISED, FOCUS ON DEFENDING SUPER EARTH," one soldi🏅er frantically urged.
Potential Illuminate sabotage wasn't the only obstacle in the way of the fight for managed democracy, though. Earlier today, little over an hour before the Major Order ended, a hotfix for Helldivers 2 was rolled out with a few bug fixes in tow. While a quick download on PS5, over on🌠 Steam, this came in at over 11GB, forcing some players to sit through an update rather than playing during the final push.

"What a g♚reat time for an update Arrowhead," annoyed Helldiver. "30 mins [until] MO ends and my game crashed and got hit with a 11.4GB update."
"ARROWWHEADDDDDDD," , sharing a sc💦reenshot of them stuck with an hour-long wait to get back i♊nto the game.
"Damn it! I can't support Super Earth right now because my Super Destroyer just started Updating LibertyOS in the middle of a Campaig꧟n," .
Was it all Illuminate interference, or just a genuine hunger to scrap some bots that led to the failure? Whatever the reason, High Command now says that "the chance to strike a mighty blow against our invaders has evaded us," so better l🤡uck next time.
