In an in-game message to gamers at present, Arrowhead Video games has revealed that cheaters brief circuited Helldivers 2’s newest Main Order. The studio has given out its supposed reward to all non-cheating gamers, and in typical Helldivers style, couched the entire thing in Tremendous Earth-appropriate phrases inside the fiction.
“Tremendous Earth Excessive Command has detected a big batch of counterfeit samples inside the supply of the final Main Order,” the message reads. “As is customary, Medals have been awarded to all Helldivers who honorably carried out their duties, and those submitting false samples have had their pet fish summarily executed.
“Laboratories all throughout Tremendous Earth house are trying to filter out the false samples, however the anticipated scientific advances to fight the unfold of the gloom have decreased considerably. Because of this, worlds close to the gloom have begun resettlement protocols.”
The Main Order to gather tens of millions of samples of Terminid matter was set to run for 4 days, with some gamers complaining of the problem of the project. After two thirds of the targets had been completed and dusted inside a couple of hours, although, it was clear that one thing was amiss. It is unclear precisely how this was achieved, however regardless of boasting anti-cheat software program, there are many hackers within the co-op Helldivers 2, a few of whom even promote their companies digging up unreleased autos, activating god mode, or simply skipping the grind for different gamers. Unique5673 on the Helldivers subreddit factors to recognized “pattern duplication cheats” as a possible perpetrator.
Although Helldivers 2’s anticheat was unable to stop this case, Arrowhead can presumably manually examine the outcomes of the Main Order and single out gamers who had been clearly dishonest. As for the sport’s ongoing story, whereas gamers acquired the Main Order’s reward, issues appear like they will proceed as if the Main Order had failed.
This disruption is consistent with a number of the extra restive conduct we have seen from the Helldivers 2 participant base in current weeks: some even intentionally ignored a earlier Main Order to protest a flamethrower getting nerfed, and the subreddit is rife with complaints (and a few messages of admiration) about so-called “Chaosdivers.” Regardless of the legitimacy of their complaints, I respect how Arrowhead stored issues transferring ahead with out lacking a beat on Helldivers 2’s reactive, emergent storytelling. Now a second of silence for all of the fish that suffered due to this boondoggle.
