Malevelon Creek is liberated at last and with sweet liberty came a free cape. But with the ongoing feud between members of the Helldivers 2<\/em> community, is it even worth it to sport this cape in your next mission?<\/p>
The Creeker-Bugdiver discourse has risen since the fall of Ubanea<\/a> and the failure of Phase II’s Operation Swift Disassembly. The Fallen Hero’s Vengeance arrived shortly after the liberation of Malevelon Creek<\/a>. Claims of being kicked while wearing this cape (without proof)<\/a> quickly backfired as the community continued to not only blame Creekers, but also develop frustration at “the idea that someone might be mad<\/a>” about the cape. <\/p>
The Fallen Hero’s Vengeance<\/a> was created in remembrance of those who fell at Malevelon Creek. “Remember the Creek<\/a>” has continued to spread hope amongst the Creekers and hate amongst the group of Helldivers, tired of Malevelon Creek memes. This caused a divide that only exists within the Helldivers subreddit<\/a>. With every post came the OP’s identification mark, stating which group they stood with. What was obvious was the sheer lack of Creekers in these posts<\/a>.<\/p>
Jokes flooded in<\/a> and it was light-hearted at first, a good dig at Creekers incapable of liberating Malevelon Creek within a month of playing on it religiously. Creekers continued to visit the Helldivers 2<\/em>‘s Space Vietnam, all while the Major Order enthusiasts continued to do what the main objective tells them<\/a>. Jokes quickly turned into complaints as these groups were blamed for doing “absolutely nothing useful since release<\/a>.”<\/p>
But for some, the choice to continually visit the Creek over other planets had reasons much more sentimental<\/a> than others. The Creeker community showed a more supportive system than those who continue to rant about their fellow Helldivers. For most, the free cape isn’t a symbolic statement to our fallen Helldivers, but “emergent storytelling<\/a>” created and strengthened by the community…or it’s just a cool looking cape.<\/p>
For new players to Helldivers 2<\/em>, visiting the Helldivers subreddit may be rather surprising<\/a> as you’re expecting a strong community-based game. Play the game how you want, wear the cape if you want, and hopefully the supply lines will be visible soon<\/a>. Then we can finally stop visiting Reddit to figure out how to access a Major Order planet. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
