I swear, at this point, developer Arrowhead Games is probably (as my British friends would say) taking the piss.Helldivers 2players are once more given a Major Order that could reward them the Anti-Tank Mine Stratagem. The catch? It’s either that or saving a hospital full of sick kids.
The new MO wasrevealed earlier todayfollowing the successful capture of some high-level intel. For the third time, Helldivers must choose to liberate one of two planets with the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem as a potential reward. On the first occasion, players picked the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. There werea few regrets. Divers lost their second chance for the mines afterfailing to dismantle 2 billion Automatons.
Now, Arrowhead is offering up the mines again in a laughably wicked way: Save the mines or the kids, but not both. Did I mention the hospital is named ‘Super Citizen Anne’s Hospital For Very Sick Children’? I feel like I should point that out.
MAJOR ORDER: Helldivers, a difficult decision lies ahead. Will you save the trapped survivors on Vernen Wells or the raw ingredients for the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines on Marfark?pic.twitter.com/U6wiK48YH2
Helldivers 2players are handed the trolley lever
The communityhas respondedas well as you think. Thankfully, it seems like many Helldivers are on the side ofsaving the kids. I mean, the war has taken a heavy toll and we can usefresh recruits. Some players also suggest saving the hospital to keep up the streak of never letting Arrowhead deliver the mines. Hell, the Major Order certainly does feel like Arrowhead is already gleefully in on the gag.
But not everyone wants to be the hero in a Super Earth propaganda film. I have spotted a few players voting for the mines, as anyone can tell you that having more ways to blow up bugs and bots is always a good thing. I’m interested to see how the pendulum will swing during this fun moral dilemma.
Regardless of which path is chosen, we do at least know how some playerswill respond.
