What happens if we lose Super Earth in Helldivers 2? ›

The galaxy map can either result in total victory for Super Earth by liberating every planet from every hostile faction, or total defeat from one of the factions conquering Super Earth. In either case the galaxy map gets wiped clean and resets into a new war with different initial borders.

According to the information provided by a decrypted message from the official Helldivers Twitter account, the Automatons are descendants of the Cyborgs fought in the first game, created to continue fighting against Super Earth and one day liberate the Cyborgs from their unwarranted enslavement on Cyberstan.

As you sit in your starship between missions, you're able to look out across the horizon of the world you're orbiting. There, you'll see dozens, sometimes hundreds of other Helldiver ships, each representing another real-life player nearby.

The planet orbits in the habitable zone of its star and has an equilibrium temperature of 234 K (−39 °C). It was discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2023; according to the authors of the discovery paper, it is the first TESS discovery in the conservative habitable zone.

Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system ...

some of them ended in defeat, and super earth was destroyed. Humanity kept on, and found another place to call super earth.

Plot. Helldivers 2 is set a century after the triumph of "Super Earth", a self-described managed democracy, over the Cyborgs, Bugs, and Illuminate during the events of the first game. It is discovered that, upon death, the Terminids produce a unique and highly valuable resource known as E-710.

E-710 — or Element 710 — is a fossil fuel produced by decomposing bugs and insects. It is also "OIL" when read upside down, which Super Earth needs to fuel its invasions to win the galactic war. This is also another reason why players need to control supply lines in Helldivers 2.

Setting. Helldivers 2 takes place in a science fiction universe, in which humanity is now united under the "managed democracy" of Super Earth. The Helldivers are elite soldiers sent by Super Earth to fight the Galactic War and protect the planet and humanity from various alien and foreign threats.

The Eagle Fighter is the NPC piloting the Eagle and provides tactical support in the form of all Eagle Stratagems. Her call sign is Eagle 1.

HELLDIVERS™ 2. Helldivers 2 Motto: Fix one thing, make everything else worse.

Astronomers have discovered a “super-Earth,” or a world larger than our planet, orbiting a star about 137 light-years away. A second planet, thought to be the size of Earth, may also be orbiting the same star. The super-Earth exoplanet, known as TOI-715b, orbits a red dwarf star that is cooler and smaller than our sun.

The Illuminate have not been confirmed as being added to the game officially by developers Arrowhead. While the community seems very certain they'll show up, nobody on the creative team has actually said that they will be the third of the Helldivers 2 factions.

The idea of a Counter-Earth waned after the heliocentric model of the solar system became widely accepted from the 16th century. In the contemporary world, "Counter-Earth" usually refers to a hypothetical planet with an orbit as Burch described, on the other side of the "Central fire"—i.e. the Sun.

Helldivers 2 game director Johan Pilestedt has recently responded to a query on Twitter about what the Helldivers really know when they sign up to fight an intergalactic war. Pilestedt shoots down one common theory - that the Helldivers aren't exactly human, but are instead clones repeatedly reborn for the battlefield.
