Helldivers 2 devs are adjusting Automaton citizen evac missions "in the near future" because they're "$€@!£X@&! impossible on higher difficulty levels"

Helldivers 2 players, rejoice. Arrowhead has confirmed that it'll soon be making adjustments to the citizen evacuation missions on Automaton-infested planets, because, simply put, they're "$€@!£X@&! impossible on higher difficulty levels."

These evacuation missions are incredibly hard on the more intense difficulty settings, but are a key part in being able to succeed in defense campaigns required to complete certain Major Orders, like the recent one which challenged players to defend a whopping 10 planets. Although we were successful on this occasion, you can understand the constant dread of being tasked with defending Automaton-occupied planets when it can feel so difficult to succeed in a mission in the first place, never mind win enough overall to complete a Major Order. Not much is more stressful for a Super Earth citizen than protecting a group of helpless civilians from an onslaught of gunfire and angry bots, after all. Thankfully though, changes are finally on the way.
