In a very not-so-shocking turn of events, the Automatons make a hectic return merely two days after being “defeated” in Helldivers 2.
Now, it isn’t much of a curveball, as many players assumed there was no way that this swarm of bugs and bots was going down so easily. Over the weekend, many players thought that they really had taken the fleet down, and pushed forces of Terminids back into their hidey holes for the final time. Today, we learn that this was a ruse, as the initial vanguard was just a blip on the radar for the insanely massive Automaton fleet now heading our way.
Somehow, the Automatons returned.As suspected all along, the previous Bot force was merely a vanguard. A massive fleet has now begun an assault of Cyberstan and the surrounding planets. Helldivers, hold back this unprovoked invasion. The fight continues! pic.twitter.com/2DzEued7mm

In a recent tweet from the developers, it was revealed that as fans suspected, the Bot Force we initially defeated was not the majority of the enemy, and a massive fleet is assaulting Cyberstan and its surrounding planets. It’s now up to use once again to take them down and hold them back from completely destroying the world around us.
According to a Reddit thread, players are already getting a new notification upon logging in that shows a new Major Order stating “Succeed in the Defence of at least 5 planets” with a percentage within the order to show progress.
A lot of the fans of Helldivers 2 are actually stoked about the very anticipated return of the bots, as some make jokes that “Bots are back on the Menu.” This speculation on the inevitable return of the foul creatures and Bots began a few days ago as fans completed their final missions, though some thought just maybe there would be an even larger curveball at play here.
