The last few days have been rough for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 players, to say the least. As the weekend began, we were hit with a new Major Order – halt the Automaton advance and hold the Menkent line, mai🎉ntaining complete control over Menkent and Lesath in the process. It's just two planets, so simple enough, right?

Well, things haven't been as straightforward as we'd have hoped. As the hard-working Helldivers of Reddit have documented, players have been desperately fighting nonstop as planets have gone from bein🍸g under attack to liberaꦫted to filled with Automatons once more in what's felt like an endless battle of oil-spilling destruction. Just 22 hours ago, Menkent was showing as 0.2% liberated, as even after it'd initially been captured, it still had to be defended.

Now, though, thanks to Super Earth's strongest, liberty-loving defenders, with less than 20 hours left on the clock, both Menkent and Lesath are showing as 100% liberated. After all we've been through, this is a very promising situation to be in. 

"It’s over. The fire tornadoes ♏can’t hurt you anymore," one re🐓lieved Helldiver .

"Legit proud of y'all. I thought it was over. We were all upset about having toౠ do Menkent twice but it's done now," another.

Then again, no doub𓆏t troubled by the painful Menkent situation that unfolded yesterday, some are that the situation could change yet again since galactic Game Master Joel still has so much time to cause problems on pur𒈔pose and give us even more to deal with. Needless to say, we probably shouldn't be resting on our laurels just yet, but it's looking far more likely that we'll get those hard-earned medals than it was before. 

Last week, Helldivers 2 added a bunch more ship module upgrades, which can be unlocked now. Be sure to check out our guide to all Helldivers 2 ship modules and what they do for the details.
