Victory for Helldivers 2 Players: Over 500 Comment Salute After Defeating the Squids and Saving Super Earth

Well, it’s a wrap—sort of. For like, ten minutes, maybe? Helldivers 2 just wrapped up its latest skirmish over Super Earth. The Helldivers came out on top, sending the Illuminate packing. But who knows for how long?

Okay, so let’s forget about that translation hiccup that caused some folks to have a bit of a meltdown in the reviews. And yeah, there were those quirky bugs and the squids—let’s not get into the specifics. Time to crack some celebratory drinks, maybe compose a totally-not-creepy love letter to Super Earth. Because why not?

Anyway—or maybe I should say, where was I? Ah yes, the final showdown saw two of seven mega cities still standing—Equality-on-Sea and Prosperity City. Sounds pretty epic, right?

“The Illuminate have hoofed it out of Super Earth,” says Arrowhead in a victory note. They proudly proclaim, “The Heart of Democracy has been protected.” Celebrate good times, come on, ’cause Federation gave the green light for street parties. I guess you can get wild, just don’t expect processing to be speedy after we lost ADMINCEN 02. Bureaucracy is still a thing.

The Illuminate’s retreat wasn’t exactly a clean exit. Apparently, they made some frantic FTL jumps from the Super Earth’s orbit. Places like New Haven, Pilen V, and Widow’s Harbor got a little crispy. They’ve basically hit stealth mode—playing hard to get, but we’ll track those guys down.

So, yeah. Ever wonder what happens next? Maybe another foe will stroll in, looking for trouble like someone who had one too many at the local dive. Who knows?

For now, it’s party time. Noticed the game’s subreddit lately? It’s like a digital block party. Threads popping up all over with folks either living it up or scratching their heads, wondering what happens now. There’s even this massive Super Earth salute GIF train that’s got, like, 550 comments and counting. It’s wild. I chuckled at how that sounds as I type it.

What are you doing to celebrate this big win, and where do you hope Helldivers 2’s next galactic showdown takes us? Spill the beans in the comments!
