Helldivers 2 players have spent the bulk of the year dodging every chance they've had to unlock the MD-17 Antiš -Tašnk Mine Stratagem, and it seems ol' Game Master Joel has had enough. The game's latest Major Order is making a threat: complete it or you're getting saddled with those mines.
"High Command has ordered an Efficacy Review of the currently available Mine Stratagems," as the Major Order, which the devs posted to , explains. "The Helldivers are ordered to kill or dismantle the targeted number oź©µf Liberty's enemies. If the targeted number is not reached, High Command will specially authorize the urgent addition of Anti-Tank Mines to the Helldiversą± ' repertoire."
from players it certainly sounds like the deck is stacked toward everybody getting the mines - but it's not impossible that players will be able to rally for those kills and stymie this Stratagem one more time.This all goes back to April, when anoāther Major Order asked players to choose between liberating two differź¦¦ent planets, with either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher awarded depending on their choice. Obviously, the rocket launcher won out. Then, in June, players were asked to choose between theą¶£ mines and saving a bunch of Super Earth children. Again, the kids won the day.
Now the community just has to ask itself if it really hates the idea of the mines so much that it's willing to actively fight against getting them with no other incentives on the line. We'll find out the answer in just a few days. around when the ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Helldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom update goes active.
