Helldivers 2 players have strong feelings about the planets they are fighting to defend in the game ongoing galactic war. First there was Malevelon Creek, which became an infamous hotspot for gamers after being dubbed “Robot Vietnam” due to its flame-breathing robots, jungle environment, and significant difficulty. Despite the fact that I described it as a miserable nightmare, players developed a certain sentimental attachment to the planet, and its many subsequent ups and downs provided great dramatic material, not to mention material that the community could turn into memes. Malevelon Creek became a celebrated site, and developers eventually gave it one Vacation. Now players have developed an intense relationship with another planet, but things couldn’t be more different.
You see, Helldivers 2 Players fucking hate Hellmire.
There has never been a shittier planet. Think of the worst place in the world, multiply it a few times and add some of your least favorite people, and you still wouldn’t come close to the anger people feel towards Hellmire. Hellmire is located exactly on the other side of the galaxy from Malevelon Creek, which couldn’t better encapsulate the vast difference in players’ attitudes towards the two. But do you know what they have in common? Fire.
Hellmire is a planet held by the beetle-like terminids, and you’d think they’d given up or died out just by looking at it. Hellmire is unlike most planets plagued by firestorms, which literally make the surface look like a visualization of hell. Sure, it honors its namesake, but could it be less annoying? It’s not bad enough that in operations with high difficulty and overwhelming odds, I usually end up going to Hellmire Beetles emerge from all sorts of holes on the planet, but I also have to worry about not catching fire on a world whose quite The deal is the endless flames that scorch him.
Places like Hellmire are particularly jarring because a balance change (something that urgently needs to be repaired) recently made
There is currently a major contract that advances the defense of multiple planets across the galaxy. Hellmire is one of them, and when I checked the exemption status today, the number was slim. It was such a pathetic number (almost as sad as the number of players currently actively playing on Hellmire) that I don’t even want to repeat it here. In comparison, another planet in the same system was well on its way to freedom and enjoyed a healthy concentration of players. Now it is Hell diver There have been occasional requests on Reddit to get in touch directly “Vitrifying” the planet. to…solve the problem of his liberation?…
According to the community “Nobody wants Hellmire
Hellmire’s persistence seems to be the purpose of the planet, but it also feels like the mood of the players, which is also the case sour has apparently settled on Hellmire as his latest target in recent months. That, and it must suck to eat insects and keep causing tornadoes. Maybe we’ll see Hellmire fall completely, or maybe we’ll see Arrowhead adapt to the community’s feelings and turn away from it for a time. Hopefully the studio repairs the fire damage to fully contain this whole side of the equation. I’m begging you, Arrowhead. My harvest is burning.
