We celebrated too soon: Helldivers 2 players spot massive cloaked gunships in the skies above Automaton planets

Whatever you do, don’t look up. Following today’s triumphant victory at Malevelon Creek, Helldivers players are making alarming discoveries on Automaton planets. Lurking in the skies are what appear to be massive, cloaked gunships lying in wait. In wait for what? I’m terrified to find out.

The development first reached my desk via Redditor infinity_cube, who published screenshots showing several angles of the anomaly. It’s extremely easy to miss when you’re running around shooting robots, but if you look closely, the shapes come into focus. Users Firestorm_361 and Spartas72 got even better looks at the objects, with their camouflage occluding against the rings of a far-off planet.
