In all places I’m going, Malevelon Creek follows. It’s in each different Helldivers-related publish I see on Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok. Once I first performed Helldivers 2, the sport was synonymous with this picture of troopers in some barren desert laying waste to killer bugs. Now? Now all I see is that rattling jungle and people godforsaken robots.
Because the days it was first dubbed “Robotic Vietnam” due to its jungle-like environs and traumatizing issue, Malevelon Creek has risen in stature to grow to be Helldivers 2’s most well-known battleground. In honor of that meteoric rise, and the immense narrative that gamers have managed to spin across the planet, Arrowhead Recreation Studios has decreed that as we speak, April 3, 2024, is “Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.” No, you didn’t learn that flawed: Tremendous-Earth has permitted a day in remembrance of the numerous sacrifices Helldivers 2 gamers have made for the Creek. As a further gesture to commemorate those that paid the last word value, gamers will obtain a particular cape they will don to recollect their fallen brethren. Now if they might simply give us double XP as some type of hazard pay, I’d be comfortable as a clam.
Malevelon Creek has had a hell of a journey since its early days as a throwaway joke. Gamers merely refused to surrender on it, though profitable mission completions not often affected the planet’s liberation meter. Some gamers, who’ve taken the bit a lot additional than I ever would, principally stay there, solely taking missions on Malevelon Creek and adopting the title “Creek Crawlers.” These gamers took it the toughest when the forces of Tremendous-Earth misplaced Malevelon to the Automatons, however they had been additionally those who instantly doubled down when one other offensive was launched on the planet.
The Creek was locked on this brutal back-and-forth for a very long time when earlier this week, gamers lastly took a decisive win and freed the planet for the primary time ever. It was a sight to behold, however the victory celebrations had been quick lived. Quickly afterwards, cloaked ships appeared over Automaton-held planets and throughout the day, the robots deployed gunships and large walkers as revenge. First the bugs began flying and now this? You simply know Arrowhead is gearing as much as deploy that third enemy faction to throw some salt within the wound.
So suffice to say, the least Tremendous-Earth might do is host a celebration for its beleaguered forces and throw some capes their method. They’ve received it actual unhealthy down there.
