In Helldivers 2, players are on the brink of erasing all Automatons from the map, but new intel suggests potential threats beyond known space, possibly more Automatons or a looming invasion by the Illuminate. Despite the imminent victory, the game's future holds the likelihood of a large-scale invasion and the introduction of Aerial Gunships, requiring players to prepare for upcoming challenges.
Helldivers 2 players are currently engaged in a major order to crush the Automatons in one of the last two remaining sectors, with the potential threat of a large-scale attack known as "The Reclamation" looming. The Automatons' target is Cyberstan, the ancestral homeworld of the Cyborgs, which could lead to a significant shift in the war effort and the emergence of new Cyborg units. This development comes as the game has seen a lull in activity due to the clearing of 98% of sectors, signaling an imminent and much-needed change in the game's dynamics.
Japanese robotics company Jizai has developed a robotic limb contraption called "Arms" that can give the wearer extra sets of arms, similar to Marvel's Doctor Octopus. The system was designed to enable social interaction between multiple wearers and explore possible interactions between digital cyborgs in a cyborg society. Inspired by a 1963 short story, the team found that their bodies could precisely sense the attachment/detachment of arms, and they especially felt a strong impact when detaching or reducing the number of robotic arms worn.
