Helldivers 2 has a great metagame layered over all the bug- and bot-blasting: The Galactic War, which sees players defending and liberating planets in a dev-controlled campaign. The whole thing has this fun air of mystique to it at the moment—can you actually cut off supply lines? Are the devs making it hard on purpose? Are the bots secretly being controlled by Hatsune Miku? Okay, I made that last one up.
One theory has been particularly thorny—the insistence that farmers are ruining everything. For the uninitiated, a popular way to grind medals has emerged during the Helldivers' current war against the automatons. Step one: Find an "Eradicate Automaton Forces" mission. Step two: Blitz your way through it. Step three: Grab your medals and bounce. We don't recommend that last part ourselves, but it hasn't stopped people from taking the warpath of least resistance.
