Helldivers 2 factions.

Malevelon Creek, Helldivers 2's most infamous Automaton planet, has sadly fallen to the robotic forces.

For weeks now, Helldivers 2 players have been banging on about a planet they've dubbed "space Vietnam," which succinctly captures just how harrowing the planet is. It's in Automaton-controlled space, and is basically a battlefield straight from hell, with some of the hardest missions in the entire game against the infamously horrible robotic forces.
