Helldivers 2 Heart of Democracy marks a dire situation for players in-game: the Illuminate invasion has arrived on Super Earth. These nefarious entities are dismantling infrastructure in the cities and terrorizing the citizens. The fight is no longer out there, with the clarion call having been rung: Helldivers are to beeline to Super Earth and repel the Illuminate.
The major update also saw an accompanying Helldivers 2 patch notes that added crash fixes.
Helldivers 2 Heart of Democracy Sees the Fight Come Home
As mentioned above, Helldivers 2 currently sees the Illuminate invasion wreaking havoc on Super Earth with the Heart of Democracy update going live. The city and its urban landscape are now the battleground. This means there will be citizens on the streets as you fight the enemy. So, exercise caution so that innocents aren’t caught in the crossfire. Any civilian death because of friendly fire will have repercussions.

The main goal is to repel the Illuminate invasion, with Helldivers tasked to activate the Planetary Defense Cannons lying underneath the streets of Super Earth. The SEAF troops are helping out players in this battle as NPCs. They can also be told to provide temporary backup to Helldivers as you take down objectives.
Helldivers 2’s updates emerge as one of the major reasons behind the game’s sustained popularity and player count. As the fight for Super Earth begins, we are sure droves of Helldivers will jump in to fight the invasion. The community has communicated and rallied every time such tragedies have unfolded (the Malevelon Creek war and the Battle of Calypso come to mind), and this time will certainly be no different.
