Helldivers 2 Under Siege: Super Earth Faces Illuminate Invasion, Players Adapt & Fight Back
The battle for Super Earth in Helldivers 2 has taken a dire turn. The Illuminate's invasion is in full swing, with players facing new challenges and adapting strategies to survive. From resource shortages to urban warfare, the fight for freedom is more intense than ever.
Initially, Helldivers 2 players grappled with severe resource scarcity. As one Mega City fell, players faced a 50% reduction in ammo and two fewer stims. This forced the community to develop innovative tactics, highlighting the resilience and ingenuity of Helldivers in the face of adversity.
One clever tactic that emerged was the strategic use of laser weapons, which rely on overheating rather than ammunition. As one Reddit user pointed out, managing the heat sink effectively can allow players to "blast all match." While laser weapons have their downsides, like potential self-immolation, they present a viable alternative in ammo-strapped situations.
Other suggested strategies to conserve ammo included utilizing Guard Dog stratagems. These autonomous backpack drones require no ammo, providing continuous support for the player. Some players have also suggested combining these tactics with Arc Throwers or Blitzers, favoring electrical damage as an alternative to fire.
Beyond conserving ammo, players have discovered innovative ways to eliminate powerful enemies. One such method involves using a portable hellbomb to defeat a Leviathan. By strategically placing the hellbomb and calling in a stratagem pod on top of it, players can launch the bomb into the path of the Leviathan, resulting in a spectacular and effective kill.
The fight has now moved to the streets of Super Earth itself with the Heart of Democracy update. Players must now defend urban sprawls against the invading Illuminate, fighting amidst towering skyscrapers and crowded streets. Players are tasked with repelling the invading forces, gaining ground against the Illuminate as they attempt to secure landing areas.
To aid in the defense, the game introduces Planetary Defense Cannons hidden beneath the streets. Activating these cannons is crucial to taking down the Illuminate fleet. Furthermore, players can now call for backup from SEAF troops during missions. Commanding SEAF soldiers to follow and assist in combat enhances tactical options, providing temporary backup as you navigate towards objectives.
The Heart of Democracy update underscores the importance of civilian protection. Players must safeguard panicked civilians while ensuring they do not fall victim to friendly fire and manage your actions carefully, as any civilian lives lost because of a Helldiver will be punished.
With the DSS back online, thanks to the efforts of those scrapping Automatons, ammunition and stims have returned to normal levels. This resurgence provides a renewed opportunity to push back against the Illuminate and reclaim Super Earth from the clutches of tyranny.
The ongoing war in Helldivers 2 is a testament to the community's dedication and adaptability. As players continue to develop new tactics and adapt to evolving challenges, the fight for Super Earth rages on. Will the Helldivers succeed in driving back the Illuminate and restoring freedom to their home? Share your thoughts and strategies in the comments below!
