Several weeks after being defeated on Wernen Falls, Helldivers 2 players are fighting a losing battle on Aesir Pass. If the fans lose, SEAF will withdraw their support, which might lead to a failed Major Order. As of the time of writing this article, players have around 12 hours left and the clock is ticking.
A New Mission Devastates the Helldivers
Traditional-Agent108 pointed out: “We will lose Aesir Pass’s SEAF bonus at this rate. We can worry about the bug line later, but we can’t lose this bonus”. And they were right, only around 20% of active players were on Aesir Pass. The rest of the players were mostly on Acamar IV or Phact Bay. If this trend continues, all hope for Aesir Pass will be lost.
Another player, StannisLivesOn explained why Aesir Pass wasn’t defended more successfully. They said: “Most of the game’s players don’t even have Reddit or Discord accounts, and don’t know that they’re accomplishing jack s**t”. This fan also offered some solace to the stressed-out fans. They shared: “Also, it’s not like we can actually lose the war. If we ever hit a string of bad defeats, Joel will throw us a bone. This is how we got the training facilities in the first place”.
While Joel does help out occasionally, some fans pointed out that they lost wars in Helldivers 1 and the devs didn’t interfere. Managed-Democracy stated: “We definitely lost wars in HD1. But if we’re to lose, the devs won’t want the reason to be that they failed to adequately provide critical information in the game, forcing players to rely on social media”. This provided comfort to some fans.
Why Aren’t the Fans Fighting on Aesir Pass?
Several players revealed the reason why the mission on Aesir Pass was going poorly. They are the same reasons why fans don’t like fighting Automatons. ViceyThaShizzle complained: “They must know that bot defenses always fail because half the missions are broken. So the fact they keep throwing these defenses on us without fixing the issue first is basically a big f**k you”.
Sors_Numine confirmed: “Tried to help, but the game crashed after 38 minutes of fighting in a hell dive mission. I’m done for a bit”. Another player, xenoremi, testified: “Same! It all started when I called in my recoilless rifle and the ammo backpack for it turned into a purple question mark, so I had no AT weapon. To make things worse, the same thing happened with my autocannon sentry. And then my game crashed”.
Nonetheless, the players are calling for their fellow soldiers to endure and fight the bots for as long as they can. If you can join them, please do. After all, it’s for the greater good, the SEAF boost means a lot while fighting the bugs for the Major Order. For Super Earth!
