The Menkent line has been established.
Helldivers have valiantly defended Lesath and Menkent for days, and for the time being, have halted the main advance of the Automaton assault. SEAF and civilian laborers are hard at work fortifying these planets against further incursion, and forward operations have been set up on Vernen Wells to support nearby defensive operations in the sector.
However, the Automaton war machine refuses to relent, and they are now attempting to circumvent the Helldiver defenses by wrestling full control of the path to the west via the planet Marfark. It has come to our attention that the bot fabricators, also known as “Factory Striders” are being used to push a hole through the Helldiver line. Focusing their entire effort towards a single planet, the bot offensive on Marfark is sure to be fierce, and our forces will no doubt struggle to hold this critical planet positioned on the flank of our defensive line. The enemy must not be allowed to gain any momentum - this offensive must be arrested, whatever the cost.
Bruh I’ve been playing helldive and they’re all over the place
Yeah I usually run into one or two per session now. They’re really cool to fight! They feel dangerous and hard to kill. I like em!
I’ve found the walking barrage is pretty reliable surprisingly. You can also two shot them with a quasar or eat by hitting the emblems on the sides.
