Occasionally, Helldivers 2 updates its Major Orders, calling for participation in large-scale operations involving the entire community. One such task is mastering the art of winning Defend Campaigns in Helldivers 2 to reap the rewards.
How to Win Major Order Defend Campaigns Against Automatons
Conquering a Major Order Defend Campaign against the Automatons in Helldivers 2 is no easy feat. Facing a relentless onslaught from both Terminids and armed Automatons can be overwhelming.
Your objective is clear: safeguard scientists and ensure the safe evacuation of civilians while repelling an unending horde of Automatons. The cowardly Automatons have launched assaults on Super Earth planets, targeting civilian outposts and facilities, leaving us as the sole force capable of thwarting this robotic army.
To emerge victorious, you’ll need firepower. Equip potent Strategems such as the Guard Dog Rover, Eagle Airstrike, and various Sentry Turrets to fortify crucial chokepoints.
Tips for Beating Back the Automatons
Defeating the Automatons and securing victory in the Defend Campaign is best achieved with a team of Helldivers armed with top-tier equipment and Stratagems. Divide your party into defensive and civilian protection roles, ideally working in pairs for better efficiency.
Focus on securing the central evacuation building, placing turrets strategically near the entrance ramps to fend off Automatons attempting to breach. Utilize Recoilless Rifles to destroy Automaton Dropships before they unload their payload. Alternatively, deploy an Orbital EMS Strike intermittently to temporarily halt Automaton advances, allowing for a brief respite to regroup and reload.
