Helldivers 2 is known for its difficult missions that usually lead players to dangerous planets to clear out waves of enemies or secure some data. However, the most important and time-constrained missions given by Super Earth are the Major Orders, which not only require the whole community to work together but also require them to defeat enemies to liberate planets.

This mission’s details can be seen in the Galactic War Map which shows the liberation progress and also incoming attacks. To make progress in the mission, the whole community bands together and coordinate with each other.

Due to these missions which require players to work together, the game has built a dedicated and passionate community that is always ready to help each other out.

One of the dedicated players, Reddit User TurtleAtom, recently shared a video that showcased how the players have progressed during the two Helldivers 2 galactic wars, in 161 days. This post started a buzz in the community as players are getting nostalgic after seeing the video.

Helldivers 2 has seen its fair share of ups and downs since its initial release in February 2024. The controversy such as Sony’s PSN Account debacle has left a bad taste in many players’ mouths, leading to a rapid decline in the playerbase.

Despite the issues, the game has maintained a decent community that is dedicated and wants to play more. So it is now time for Arrowhead Game Studios to step up and show its commitment by adding diverse content and introducing new weapons/stratagems.

With the recent patches, Arrowhead has already shown that it wants to be more transparent with its players and listen to their feedback. In the end, while players are busy spreading democracy and liberating planets, it is the developer’s job to work their magic and make the player’s harsh journey enjoyable.
