Overview
Newly introduced weapons in Helldivers 2 necessitate acquiring hundreds of medals, leading Daniel to run the Automaton Defense mission as a farming strategy.
The Automaton Defense mission kill requirement increased from 150 to 500, demanding active engagement alongside defensive sentries such as Rocket Sentries, EMS Mortars, and regular mortars positioned on bunker structures.
Daniel faced matchmaking delays, stratagem-limiting debuffs, mech restrictions, and team complications, resulting in the squad wiping out roughly 100 kills short of finishing the mission.
