The current status of HELLDIVERS 2, the GALACTIC War Map and Major Orders
Helldivers 2 can be classified as a live-service online third person shooter, although it is not limited to seasonal updates or a light narrative. It follows a real-time campaign, where players work together to fight the Galactic War at the center of the game and advance the plot. We’ve compiled everything you need to know before playing.
We recommend that players follow on the official social media pages. These channels may provide a sneak peek at upcoming events and reveal bits of information.
Helldivers 2 doesn’t have a live-service season (at least, not yet) despite the existence of free and paid battle passes. Arrowhead’s newest game is popular because of how the storyline develops in real time and the way updates can be integrated with the missions and operations that Super Earth Helldivers try to accomplish. Helldivers 2 isn’t complicated in terms of its mission structure, but the story and system that hold it together are.
The Galactic Map of Helldivers 2
Each player in Helldivers 2 has their own huge ship which acts as the base of operation. You can customise your soldier’s appearance, add new equipment and weapons, improve the stratagems, or upgrade the ship.
It’s easy to overlook, since it is located in the middle of the area that you can enter, right next to the Democracy Officer, who will not shut up. You’ll receive the galactic map as soon as it is activated.
To date, Helldivers only have to fight two factions of enemies: Automatons and Terminids. The community is noticing a few teases about the Illuminate – a new faction from Helldivers 1.
The galactic conflict is shaped by this, as troops are directed to Automaton- and Terminid controlled sectors. Super Earth can launch a massive offensive. Often, however, the human race is fighting to survive and repelling enemy attacks against previously colonised planets. All of it is unpredictable, and is tied to Arrowhead’s secretive plans and the ‘gamemaster’ who throws curveballs at us.
The game allows you to select from several sectors, each with their own planet. If you drop on an active but calm planet, it may not be possible to help the most urgent orders. But every Helldiver who is active will always be welcome.
No matter what its specific characteristics or environmental conditions are (pay attention), each active planet will display a percentage liberation, which represents the state of Super Earth’s surface soldiers. The progression of the bars on these screens is usually linear, and cannot be slowed down. However, there are times when enemy forces have taken control, forcing all Helldivers active to focus their efforts and double-down.
This view shows updated information such as: Helldivers Active, Total Enemies Killed, Helldivers Killed, Bullets Fired. You’ll also get an overview of the environment and any environmental hazards (if they exist), all of which will affect how difficult the mission you are about to undertake is.
You can also choose to view the sectors or the mission views. This is where you will decide on how difficult the missions are. It allows you to tweak enemy numbers, their advanced level, damage dealt, whether the game gets more intense and, most importantly, what progress you add to your ‘liberation bars’ after each successful mission.
