Helldivers 2 Bullies Players To Pick Between Two New Stratagems
Arrowhead Game Studios has enjoyed handing down some tough and consequential major orders for the Helldivers 2 community to beat, but its latest might be one of its thorniest yet.

Helldivers 2 Players Could Take Out The Robots For Good
Helldivers 2 players are used to things not going their way, so the last few days have been pretty odd.
