Helldivers 2offers a variety of locations and set pieces that make for amazing artwork when viewed independently. Thankfully, consoles now allow players to take screenshots with a simple button press. This enables situational and accidental art pieces to be formed with ease.
In the mindset of battle or just reaching your objective, there are always opportunities to snap a quick screenshot. Some are better than others, a scale that is determined by how cinematic the scene is. One picture snapped a couple of days ago might be one of the best to ever come from the game so far.

The image comes from Reddit user 0bsidianBlack, which they shared on the r/Helldivers subreddit. They say the person who took the photo dubbed it ‘The Last Automaton’. A very fitting name, going by the image.
We can see a lone figure, an Automaton, standing atop a dune with nothing and no one around it. As far as screenshots from games go, this one is right up there, given the context of the war right now.

Players have been successful atpushing back the Automaton forcesover the past few weeks. This is a major achievement, as this front of the war was being ignored with more players choosing to fight Terminids to bots.
However, with the Automaton missions now coming to an end, the screenshot taken by the Redditor emphasizes the effect the Helldivers have had on the bot population.

The presence of a new enemy faction will help keep things interesting for Helldivers fans. The game is incredibly popular even now, but no doubt some fans are wondering when a substantial update with new content will be added. After all, that’s one of the major draws of live-service titles.
It will be interesting to see how the developers introduce the Illuminates to the game, if they are coming at all. As the most advanced and intelligent foes in the Helldivers universe, they will pose a significant threat to Super Earth’s expansion plans.
