Helldivers 2 has launched a new Major Order targeting the Automatons invading Malevelon Creek. This update has ignited debates between hardcore and casual players on optimal strategies. Some players focus on meticulous plans using the game’s supply line feature, while others adopt a straightforward approach by following the majority to critical planets like Mort, Ingmar, and Draupnir. Despite the supply line feature now being part of the game, there's criticism that Arrowhead, the developer, could have better communicated its importance. This strategic division could affect the overall success of the mission.
