New Planet in Helldivers 2 Thrills Players, but Thier Humor Is Spoiled by Crashes
The jungles of the planet Gacrux are tempting Helldivers 2 players, but for now, Democracy's defenders must focus on following orders (and ignore Stratagems causing crashes).
Players can now explore the jungles in Helldivers 2. Defenders of Democracy can finally fight in the dense, swampy tropical forests on the planet Gacrux. We could see the planet in the trailer for the new warbonds (Viper Commandos) and the accidental (?) reveal on planet X-45 after the debut of the game's major update (via Reddit).
This is currently the only world where this biome is available. Because it is situated in the Jin Xi sector, this means that those willing to explore the jungle are currently compelled to battle the Terminids. This didn't discourage the players - at the time of publishing this news, more than 8,000 Super Earth soldiers were defending the planet Gacrux.
Gacrux distracts the attention of Helldivers 2 players
In truth, some players aren't thrilled with the developers' sense of timing. Not because of the biome itself: this clearly sparked enthusiasm among players who are discovering its secrets (among others, possibility of climbing a tree). But that's exactly where the problem lies.
Recently, Super Earth forces were tasked with exterminating Terminid populations on other planets. Three of them have already been cleared of bugs, but Nivel 23 and especially Fori Prime still remain in the clutches of aliens.
The second one is less than 70% liberate, and the deadline for carrying out the order is tomorrow. Meanwhile, thousands of Democracy defenders, instead of fighting on Fori Prime, went to Gacrux. Some only get to see the new jungle once, but eventually it may become apparent that even this brief distraction will prevent players from completing the order.
Nevertheless, concerns about MO aren't common. Partly because Joel has delayed the decrease in liberation level on Fori Prime and Nivel 23 (which will make dealing with MO easier), but players are also simply thrilled about the completely new environment (via Reddit). Certainly, the jungle has already been found, for instance, on Malevelon Creek, but this doesn't stop players from being amazed by the tropical forests on Gacrux.
What about the Stratagem Spear, crashes, and the "review bomb cape"?
Less enthusiastic is the fact that despite a recent huge update, the stability of Helldivers 2 leaves much to be desired. The recently "fixed" Stratagem (Spear) is causing problems again, forcing the game to crash. The developers are already investigating the issue, but so far these problems haven't been fixed (via Thomas "Twinbeard" Petersson on Discord).
Side note: Johan Pilestedt, Creative Director of Helldivers 2, confirmed that Arrowhead studio has already prepared a cape commemorating the game's bombardment with negative reviews. Now the team is just waiting for the right moment to make this ornament available to players (via X).
