So, here’s the thing – do you prefer diving into the good bits or the doom and gloom? Well, let’s kick off with the cheerful stuff. Helldivers 2, through all its chaos, did a pretty bang-up job of cleaning house, taking out a mind-boggling two billion Illuminate. That’s like… a lot, right? Though, bad news: it hasn’t really stopped Eagleopolis from crumbling down around us. Go figure.

And you’d think, with throngs of Helldivers jumping in to fend off these relentless Illuminate, that things might’ve turned out differently. But nope. Eagleopolis, one of those big, fancy Mega Cities (we’re talking seven in total) on Super Earth? Toast. I mean, grab your SEAF buddy and maybe watch a Leviathan surf clip. It might help the heartbreak. Or not. Who knows.

Now, rewind a bit. When the whole defense saga of Super Earth started, it felt – I don’t know – oddly uplifting? We welcomed this Heart of Democracy update and bam, before you knew it, 2.5 billion Illuminate were history. Felt good, right? But Arrowhead, the studio with all the dramatic flair, chimed in, spilling the beans: “Eagleopolis, once the grand old bastion of Managed Democracy, is now just… ruins.” Yikes, talk about a vibe killer.

So yeah, down goes one Mega City. Six more are hanging in there though – fingers crossed. Our side’s made some dent, at least, inching towards either snuffing out that Illuminate fleet or scaring them off. Baby steps, as they say.

Now, let’s talk numbers. The Illuminate bunch? They’re at 49% strength, supposedly. Still leaves quite a bit to handle. Those Helldivers need to keep grinding it out with their SEAF comrades, holding strong to protect what’s left of Super Earth. It’s like an endless grind, but hey, every Mega City matters. Once we lose ‘em, they’re gone for good. No do-overs, apparently.

So, here’s the deal with the latest directive – yeah, you caught me, it’s kind of a slog. The goal is to hit successful mission extractions, like, 20 million times. Helps weaken that massive invisible enemy health bar, I guess? And gives us a chance to get back at them for Eagleopolis. Always gotta have that angle, right? Meanwhile, over on the Helldivers subreddit, folks are… well, let’s just say they’re overly dedicated to their SEAF buddies in ways that might raise a few eyebrows.

Are we shedding tears over Eagleopolis? Let me know what you think down below. Or just share your SEAF fan art. That works too.
