Helldivers 2 veterans, brace yourselves for a potential return to Malevelon Creek. Reports suggest that the Automatons are launching a fresh assault in the Severin Sector, positioning the infamous ‘Robot Vietnam’ under siege once more.
Experienced players from last year’s release are no strangers to the horrors of Malevelon Creek. The dense foliage and relentless Automaton skirmishes turned this locale into one of the galaxy’s most formidable territories. Despite our heroic defense efforts, it eventually fell to the machines.
The community’s bond with Malevelon Creek is so strong that Arrowhead‘s CEO, Johan Pilestedt, commented on the collective ‘obsession’ with it. Now, the prospect of returning looms on the horizon.
A recent Major Order failure has allowed the Automatons to reclaim the Severin Sector, compounded by a black hole threatening Super Earth. A new mission order might soon send us back into the thick of battle.
The community is deeply invested in the narrative of Malevelon Creek. One redditor shares mixed emotions: ‘A part of me is in fear as I was there, but another part of me wants to go back.’ In response, another writes, ‘A part of me never left.’ This virtual camaraderie is one of the game’s most endearing features, encouraging players to build a shared imaginary universe.
Imaginative speculations abound, including a redditor’s intriguing thought: ‘Imagine if they reach it and it changes from a jungle to like a post forest fire jungle. Then maybe we have a mission order to restore it to its former glory.’ Such evolution in the game’s landscape could offer thrilling new challenges.
It is clear that the Major Orders system, along with the endgame, could use reinvigoration, a sentiment echoed by the developers currently addressing these challenges.
