[Helldivers 2] The Battle for the Forge Begins
8After days of brutal combat, Tarsh has been liberated—a victory paid for in starvation, mass desertions, and the “democratic executions” of entire SEAF units. With rations dwindling and morale nonexistent, the Bot Front held the line while Super Earth funneled fresh-faced recruits and propaganda to the Bug Front instead. But there’s no time to celebrate.
The Deep Mantle Forge on Claorell must be retaken before the Automatons use it to build something even worse than the Jet Brigade. Rumors are spreading again—talk of an Assault Walker, armed with twin railguns and armored like a mobile fortress. Maybe it’s another illegal broadcast. Maybe it’s real. Either way, we don’t have the luxury of waiting.
Meanwhile, Super Earth “coincidentally” triggered a 9.4 magnitude earthquake that decimated the Terminid hive on Veld. Joel calls it tectonic activity. The rest of us call it a strategic nuclear tantrum.
The Bugdivers are scattered, distracted, and celebrated for doing nothing.
The Botdivers are starving, bleeding, and told to do everything.
The unspoken civil war is real—and if the DSS moves to the Bug Front, we may lose Claorell for good.
Get in, grab your MG-43, and remember: Victory is mandatory. Rations are not.
