Super Earth Command punishes Helldivers 2 players for failing a critical mission by unlocking a brand-new weapon for them to use in combat.
Helldivers 2 players have failed to accomplish their latest crucial mission for Super Earth Command, and have received a brand-new weapon as “punishment.” The unusual reward continues in the comedic tradition of developer Arrowhead Game Studios’ interactions with the Helldivers 2 player community.
Since the blockbuster launch of Helldivers 2 early in 2024, developer Arrowhead has maintained close and often humorous ties with the game’s players, using the game’s “Galactic War” campaign system to further the in-game fiction that every Helldivers 2 player is a soldier of Super Earth, the game’s satirical fascist “democracy.” Using “Major Order” missions to channel player activity to specific points around the map, Arrowhead and its staff give Helldivers 2 players the impression of participating in a massive, never-ending war against Super Earth’s alien enemies.
