Today in Helldivers 2 - Super Earth State of Affairs

The never-ending Galactic War in Helldivers 2 rages on. Different planets are under attack daily by the frustratingly hard-to-take-down Automatons and the satisfyingly squishy Terminids. Both personal and major orders periodically pour in, forcing each and every Helldiver to stay on their toes lest the never-ending stream of bugs and bots overtake an unsuspecting region. Battles are often won, but some have also inevitably been lost.

That's just a sneak peek of the daily goings-on in Helldivers 2. Unfortunately, with so much happening in the Sol System, it can be hard to track the latest changes, like which planets and sectors are being bombarded by the game's pesky combatants. But don't fret; we're here to tell you the latest news on the frontlines so you can stay updated — even if you're taking a break from your intergalactic wartime efforts. And no, we won't tell General Brasch about your little hiatus.

Which Planets Are Under Attack in Helldivers 2?

• None

No planets are currently under attack. Unfortunately, the previous Terminid attack on Estanu saw the extraterrestrial creepy-crawlies grab hold of the frosty, moss-covered planet. Now, Helldivers are attempting to liberate it again from the enemy's slimy, sharp talons, and, so far, corps efforts are holding strong with the planet already progressing towards freedom once again.

PREDICTION: N/A

What Is the Current Major Order in Helldivers 2?

The latest Major Order in Helldivers 2 is to free three planets currently overrun with Terminids: Hellmire, Crimsica, and Estanu. At present, only Estanu has been liberated, a mere few hours after the objective began. Alas, Hellmire and Crimsica aren't faring all too well, as the former is only at a measly 0.01%, while the latter is at 37.8%.

Luckily, there's plenty of time until this Major Order ends; every Helldiver worldwide still has over one day to complete the task at hand. If not, all three planets will become a breeding ground for the acid-spewing, Sol System pests and it'll become even harder to boot them out of each area.

PREDICTION: VICTORY

What Was the Previous Major Order in Helldivers 2?

The previous Major Order from the higher-ups was to liberate all Automaton-held planets: Maia, Durgen, and Tibit. Congratulations are in order, Helldivers. All three garrisons on the previously mentioned planets have been successfully freed from the clutches of their nightmarish robot overlords.

Durgen, Maia, and Tibit are all under Super Earth control, so you won't be able to, nor is there any need to, land on these planets to liberate or defend them — for now, at least.

If you haven't claimed your Medals for Maia, Tibit, and Durgen's successful liberations, now would be the best time to do so. But the fight isn't over yet. The latest Major Order has arrived, so keep celebrations to a minimum. If we're to completely defend the Sol System from would-be attackers, each and every Helldiver will need to band together before it's too late. 

RESULT: VICTORY

Which Planets Are Close to Being Liberated in Helldivers 2?

• Estanu

Fori Prime was close to being liberated but has since been cut off due to the ongoing campaigns in Estanu and Crimsica. As such, liberation continues to fall. Fortunately, the road to liberty on Estanu is slowly inching nearer to the finish line, ever since being included in the latest Major Order (see above). Conversely, neighboring planet Crimsica hasn't fared any better, as the red-tinted planet practically hasn't shown any liberation progress. The same can almost be said for Hellmire, though it is starting to pick up a bit since it was at 0.043% yesterday to now being at 0.1%.
