Helldivers 2 players have suffered a defeat in the recent defense against the Illuminates. This loss has triggered the release of a major update titled “Heart of Democracy.” For the first time since the game`s launch, this update transforms Super Earth, the very heart of the Helldivers galaxy, into a full-scale battlefield.
Now, players are tasked with fighting for every city, liberating the streets of Super Earth. To aid the Helldivers on location, defensive towers and AI squads have been introduced. These AI soldiers can operate autonomously or join up with players in combat. Special attention will need to be paid to protecting civilians and avoiding friendly fire.
Players can also make use of the weapon customization system introduced last week and the new arsenal available through the “Masters of Ceremony” warbond. The ultimate outcome of this battle remains uncertain. However, if Super Earth falls, the future of Helldivers 2 itself will be placed in jeopardy.
