Operation “Capitalized Industry” has Super Earth’s finest marching toward victory with the kind of efficiency that would make High Command shed a proud tear.
The current Helldivers 2 Major Order launched just days ago, tasking the galaxy’s most expendable heroes with crushing Automaton mining operations on Mintoria. Four days remain on the timer, yet the community has already bulldozed through Clasa and Zefia with shocking competence.
The bots clearly underestimated humanity’s capacity for organized violence when they decided to pilfer Super Earth’s revolutionary subsurface mining technology. Their “secretive” operations on Mintoria are about to become very public executions, courtesy of managed democracy’s finest patriots.
Mintoria’s Liberation Proceeds With Surprising Competence
Helldivers have stormed through the prerequisite planets quite fast. Clasa fell first, cutting off Demiurg from its supply lines like a proper military encirclement should work. Zefia followed suit, clearing the path to Mintoria’s precious “Ultramafic Mines” where those mechanical thieves have been strip-mining Super Earth’s stolen tech.
The Democracy Space Station currently hovers in Mintoria’s orbit, providing the standard Operational Support package that every patriot deserves. This grants active divers a 10% boost to campaign impact, plus a nice-to-have 35% reduction to Exosuit cooldown times. The current Tactical Action sweetens the deal with Orbital 380mm HE Barrage access for everyone.
The overall liberation progress of the planet sits at 12% as of writing, though two key settlements are in place to accelerate the operation:
The community’s enthusiasm for fighting bots instead of those nightmare Rupture Strain bugs has clearly injected fresh energy into the war effort.
One concerning detail lurks beneath this success, though: Hellmire remains untouched on the Terminid front. Since defending Outpost Alpha is one of the primary objectives in this Major Order, we can expect some unwelcome surprises from the bug side soon.
Strategic Opportunity Splits the Helldivers 2 Blob Like Democracy Intended
High Command dropped a Strategic Opportunity yesterday that immediately achieved what every military strategist dreams of: dividing enemy attention between multiple objectives. The “jolly workhands of our weapons manufacturers” requested materials for anti-Gloom productivity increases, presenting Helldivers with a delicious choice between Exosuit parts and Orbital munitions.
Valyria 5 houses the original Emancipator Exosuit factory with underground storage bunkers potentially stuffed with mechanical freedom dispensers. Meanwhile, Choepessa IV offers “exploded and unexploded ordnance from the first Galactic War,” perfect for repurposing into orbital firepower.
The community chose predictably: approximately 23% of the active playerbase diverted to Choepessa IV for those explosive toys, while 40% continued hammering Mintoria’s liberation progress.
All in all, this latest Strategic Opportunity has succeeded brilliantly in its true purpose: keeping Helldivers spread thin across multiple fronts. Some call it tactical flexibility; others recognize it as managed democracy’s finest population control mechanism.
The remaining percentage presumably wandered off to fight squids somewhere, because that’s just how the galactic war works these days.
What’s your prediction for Operation Capitalized Industry’s finale? Will those sneaky Terminids finally assault Hellmire? Let us know in the comments below.
