- One of the toughest planets to fight on in Helldivers 2 is Malevelon Creek, an Automaton-controlled world with dark and hazy blue skies, dense jungles, and deep bodies of water.
- It's been lovingly dubbed "Robot Vietnam" by the game's community, with a few dozen thousand dedicated players often battling the bots for control of it at any given moment.
- On Tuesday night, it fully fell to the Automatons, resulting in widespread shock and sadness from Helldivers 2 players on social media. For a time, a retreat issue was ordered that made the planet inaccessible.
- Early this morning, though, a new front on Malevelon Creek emerged, giving Helldivers determined to liberate it an opportunity to begin a counter-offensive that's now ongoing.
