Players defeated an entire enemy faction in Helldivers 2

Players defeated the entire Automaton robot enemy faction in Helldivers 2, making Operation Swift Disassembly a success. Now, with one of the game‘s two enemy factions wiped from the galactic map, players are wondering what developer Arrowhead game Studios has in store for them.

Last week, a major new order called Operation Swift Disassembly was given to the Helldivers, tasking Super-Earth’s best soldiers with wiping out the Automaton Legion. A few days later, the Automata are no more and Operation Swift Disassembly is complete. The studio congratulated players with the following message on X (formerly Twitter), and while it looks great on the surface, many are wary of what Arrowhead might have planned next.

“You did it, Helldivers. Operation Swift Disassembly was a success! With the robots eradicated and the bugs contained, the galaxy is free again.”

Of course, the galaxy is free…for now. If you’ve been playing Helldivers 2 since launch, you know that players are likely just days away from a new galactic horror, the re-emergence of Automaton, or something even more terrifying. Of course, there’s the funniest timeline where it just means Helldivers 2 is over and Arrowhead is shutting down the servers, as many have joked online, but with this much momentum for the game it doesn’t there’s no chance, it’s the end.
