I have this weird feeling, it feels too easy.... The bots are planning something, they want us to feel a small sense of Victory.. and make a grand comeback with force alongside the Illuminate

[bplup]

My last mission on Durgen was an extermination mission. We had dismantled every bot and were scouring the area for samples. There, dutifully slumped over a pointless machine gun emplacement was the last bot on the map. He too was liberated with extreme prejudice. Upon extracting there was nothing left to liberate. No bots left to fight. I think about that robot and his machine gun, maybe the last of his kind- and I truly fully feel great.

[player-won]

After the Automaton's Durgen fell they were 650, 000 active HellDivers in the galaxy

[Ricflaireofastora]

The funniest thing about the "mission accomplished" thing is that we know they'll be back. George W. Bush vibes 🤣🤣

[lejenddairy]

Someone else pointed this out on another video but the automaton name plate is moved up on the map now. The nameplate is closer to cyberstan now.

[avranjones]

Remember, Arrowhead's CEO said in a interview with Operator Drewski that the game was heavily inspire by the Iraq war. There was a "Mission Accomplished" moment in that war

[Nartanek]

I was part of the force at Durgen when it ended, hell i was on the ground when the planet was liberated. They can't stop democracy! For Super Earth!

[stevenperry]

I foresee the automatons returning in the NW quadrant to include Cyberstan, thus allowing the Illuminate to come in the S/SW area. With Cyberstan held, I also foresee new cyborg/automaton variants making the faction even more challenging.

[ghostlygeralt]

I've played Halo Reach and I'm not relaxed thinking we've secured the Galactic Frontier for a moment

[Quan-gotta_go]

the bots coming back don’t have to be different it could have ben the ones we just defeated was a scout force and the people they where contacting in deep space was another army there main army we still haven’t seen a flag ship for the bots so there returns could be there main force actually showing up with some new bots and there spawn ramp up for a lil

[Iluvantir]

I'd imagine there'll be a surprise assault by the Automatons where they take Cyberstan itself, and the Illuminate coming in same time. I can't see them just doing a cold restart yet- although that IS the standard thing they did back in 1st game when the Helldivers actually beat the threats.

[vizualwarrior]

The theory of these current bots being the sons/daughters of the ORIGINAL Cyborgs (from the first game, since they weren’t bots) would then work with this. They bring back the Cyborgs. Then the Cyborgs eventually come back with reinforcements of illuminate faction

[prebenkul]

We literally got a new major order the moment we got every planets liberated. So yes its bug time! But yeah, we prob wont get a new faction until the new warbond. Theres also the fact that, yes we've liberated the sectors around super earth, that doesn't mean there doesn't exist any more automatons, they are just outside the map. So we will most likely explore further because humanity is greedy. I'm guessing we will have more world maps, because the game is meant to last years, not a couple of months lol.

[verdanteridium]

So, based off of HD1, a faction was only eliminated once their homeworld was liberated. Notably, the Automaton Homeworld hasn't been liberated - specifically we don't know where it is in lore.

This means they will return, and the next set of MO's regarding them will be about finding that planet.

Then we get to fight Night City if everyone was Adam Smasher.

Its going to be strange, missing the big red on the galactic map. Its time to burn some bugs.

[theexchipmunk]

The words "Mission Acomplished" do not assure me at all.

[hansoncrack]

I am sure I am not the only person out there that feels bummed more than victorious at the automatons defeat. I used to hate fighting them, but as skills improved they became my preferential challenge. For now they are gone so its back to bugs. I think its great how the community pulled together and roasted the projected completion time on the major order.

[ArshikaTowers]

I think the Reclamation was a distraction. We pushed them back, out of the galaxy, and while we were so focused on pushing them back, they flanked us and skipped taking planets and are going directly to Super Earth. I believe when the Automatons resurface, they will be surrounding Super Earth.

The automatons are thinking entities, with strategy, tactics, and a unifying goal amongst them all.

Also, the possibility that the Illumanit could be working with the Bots; so that would be the big change. The bots are going to be the same, but we will have to contend with the Illumanit along with the bots pushing deep into the galaxy toward Super Earth.

[Matthew-oetb]

Super Earth farms the bugs for spaceship fuel. We have just been fighting them to get them back on their farms, and there will be no eradicating them.

[lucienmoolman]

If it is going to be like Helldivers 1 then the bots will likely be out until the galactic war is reset by us wiping out the bugs too or super earth getting taken over. Though it is so early into the galactic war that I doubt this is the last time we'll see them again...

[snoopwillpac]

On the communication wheel they should add "Run" and "Stay Together"
