With the current Major Order looking all but complete, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 player🍃s are attempting to rally their fellow soldiers to the fight on Mantes. The issue, though, is that plenty of people don't fancy the fight against the Automatons.

The current Major Order in Helldivers 2 commands players to liberate Zagon Prime and Fori Prime against the Terminid hordes. Despite this, some players are attempting to draw others away from the actual Major Order and help liberate planets like Mantes, w♉hich have continually come under threat from the deadly Automaton forces. 

Just below, you can see a smattering of popular posts on the Helldivers 2 subredditꦬ that have all surfaced over the past 24 hours. The posts att☂empt to highlight that Super Earth's forces are losing the fight on Mantes. If they lose the planet entirely to the Automatons, the entire Xzar sector might actually fall, setting the Galactic War effort back in a big way.

Drawing playe🐭rs to Mantes is turning out to be a really difficult task. The post below, for example, explains that developer Arrowhead is well aware that most players don't like fighting the bots. That's why we've only seen one Major Order against the bots to date. Even then, it took mechs being dangled in front of players for the Major Order on Tien Kwan to succeed.

There are all sorts of responses in the comments explaining why players hate fighting the Automatons. One player claims a bot drop ship can withstand 12 shots from an Autocannon, and letting a drop-ship descend on a planet an🌺d unleash a horde of chainsaw-wielding Autom🎀atons is pretty frustrating, especially when you've shot the ship a dozen times. 

The post below, meanwhile, trie🌳s to reason with players reluctant to fight the bots by imparting some great knowledge. The player says to ditch aspects like the Guard Dogs and shotguns, and instead go for the Shield backpack option and the Liberator Penetrator for a better shot at handling the hordes. A cܫommenter adds that an Eagle Airstrike can supposedly kill the feared Hulks in just one hit.

Not everyone is keen to see the continuing trend of soldiers rallying troops to other plants. A case and point is the post below, which reads: "MY BROTHER IN FREEDOM: THEY'RE PLAYING THE GAME, NOT ON REDDIT. SHUT UP." It's a little harsh, sure, but you can't really argue with the fact that the vast majority of Helldivers 2 players aren't trawling the game's subreddit every day. They're simply playing the game and doing what they're told by Game Master Joel to complete𓄧 the Major Orders. 

We saw it earlier this month, with fans worried that the obses൲sion with recapturing the in🌠famous Malevelon Creek might derail the war effort, with Ustotu and Draupnir 🌺nee🍌ding attention at that moment.

Whether you want to head over to Mantes or not, you'd do well to keep an eye on . The player-driven website updates the Galactic War effort across multiple planets at once, so you can see which planets are in danger of being lost, and which could really do with a helping hand from players. Good luck to the players on Mantes - thꦬey'll need it.

As Helldivers 2 players call for an extension to the latest Major Order following tracking errors and game crashes, others say losing the battle is part of winning the war
