Helldivers 2 Players Need To Kill 2.5 Billion Aliens To Defend Super Earth, And That's Just The Start
Super Earth is under siege
No pressure! Whereas players have become accustomed to fighting on far-off alien battlefields, Super Earth's cities present an all-new challenge. In addition to skyscrapers blocking sightlines and helping to hide new flying enemy types, Super Earth's civilian population, and its armed forces, now find themselves in the crossfire between Helldivers and the invading aliens. Players will need to be careful not to cause too many civilian casualties.
The Helldivers, however, aren't alone. Squads of Super Earth Armed Forces can be found in Mega Cities providing support. While they will fight the Illuminate on their own, they can also be ordered by players to help provide backup. That will be handy for clearing a path toward the new Planetary Defense Cannon objectives, which players will manually control in order to take down Illuminate Overships.
What will happen should Super Earth fall? That's unclear, but Arrowhead has certainly raised the stakes. The battle for Super Earth will consist of multiple Major Orders for the game's playerbase to complete, as a deadly tug-o-war begins for control of each Mega City. The current Major Order, to kill 2.5 billion Illuminate, is set to end in two days. No doubt even more alien blood will need to be spilled after that, as the war for Super Earth rages on.
Heart of Democracy is just the latest update for Helldivers 2, and it's one that goes hand-in-hand with another recent update that improved the game's Superstore shop and added a new weapon-upgrade system.
As for what's next for Arrowhead, the Helldivers studio recently said it would be self-funding its next game but would be open to working with PlayStation again for its next project.
