Malevelon Creek is burned into the memory of every true Super Earth patriot. Helldivers 2's dingy jungle planet became known as 'Robot Vietnam' as players banded together in their thousands to defend it from a massive Automaton assault. It was the first time the Helldivers 2 community picked up the game's live-service meta-narrative and ran with it, earning themselves the nickname 'Creekers' and a commemorative cape designed by developer Arrowhead to memorialise the event.
Now, the grizzled veterans of the creek are spinning up Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower in their Hellpods' holotape decks, steeling themselves for a return to this infamous battlefield. Having failed Super Earth's most recent major order, the Helldivers are currently being pushed back by the Automaton Incineration Corps—robot units that specialise in dealing fiery death to humanity. According to Arrowhead's most recent in-game update, the next target of the machines is "old industrial assets in the Severin Sector, where the Automatons first emerged."
