Helldivers 2 Players Struggle To Beat Objectives Due To Bug And Bot Divide
Key Takeaways
- Some Helldivers players refuse to take part in major orders, only sticking to either bot or bug planets.
- This divide between ‘botdivers’ and ‘bugdivers’ is causing some frustrations, especially during the final push of a major order.
- Right now, players need to try and liberate Gacrux, but seem to be struggling to get enough boots on the ground.
Some members of the Helldivers 2 community can be put into one of two camps: botdivers or bugdivers. This refers to those who only fight Automatons and Terminids respectively, rather than actually going where the mission is.
For some time, bugdivers were probably the most complained about community among Helldivers 2 players, as many seemed to find fighting Terminids more manageable than Automatons. Then, it was the botdivers’ turn, as a ridiculous amount of players made it their personal mission to hold a single planet, Malevelon Creek. Now, we find ourselves in a similar position, as it seems players are struggling to pull in enough numbers to stop the bugs.
Helldivers 2 Players Are Begging Botdivers To Help Against The Bugs
The latest major order has seen players sent to Gacrux, to try and liberate the planet from the Terminids. However, even in the final hours of the major order being active, it seems that many are opting to play on entirely different planets instead.
In the replies, some share their reasoning for ignoring the major order. While some just prefer to fight bots instead, not really knowing what they’re doing against bugs, others just don’t like Gacrux specifically. Of course, that isn’t stopping those who focus on major orders from encouraging everyone to put aside their grievances and just try to make this final push work.
Despite all this, the divide probably isn’t anywhere near as bad as the one that emerged during the peak of Malevelon Creek mania. The botdivers who hyperfocused on this planet earned themselves a title of their own, the Creekers, as they ignored major orders for weeks just to keep the Creek safe – much to the frustration of everyone else.
