Despite Helldivers 2 Players Defeating 2.5 Billion Squids for an Opening Victory, Eagleopolis Falls, Leaving Six Mega Cities to Defend in the Battle for Super Earth

Sure, here’s a more human version for you:

So, here’s the thing. Do you wanna hear the good stuff or the not-so-good stuff first? Whatever, let’s just dive in. So, Helldivers 2, right? They got a big win by taking down over two billion of those Illuminate… creatures? Anyway, that’s the highlight. But here’s the kicker: Eagleopolis still went down. Yeah, I know, pretty brutal.

It’s like, all these Helldivers showed up, more than we’ve ever seen since, I don’t know, sometime last spring? Anyway, they threw themselves into the fight against these fresh Illuminate baddies. But man, it wasn’t enough to save one of those big cities, Super Earth’s Mega Cities or whatever. Didn’t expect that, did you? But hey, maybe hug your SEAF buddy, if that helps. And if you really need a pick-me-up, watch someone surf a Leviathan. Trust me, it’s a vibe.

Oh, remember the previous mission? That initial defense when the Illuminate started invading? Yeah, that one, with the Heart of Democracy update. Things looked peachy. They wanted to take out 2.5 billion Illuminate and, surprisingly, they did it. But then… nada. “Nope,” said Arrowhead. They gave us this update, right? Like, Eagleopolis is down. It was this big deal, a stronghold of Managed Democracy, and now it’s just a bunch of tattered shopping centers. Sounds like a bad warning poster, doesn’t it?

Here’s the rundown: Seven Mega Cities on Super Earth, and we’re down by one. Still, long road ahead. There’s some progress in whittling down that Illuminate fleet — or maybe they’ll just pack up and leave.

Arrowhead said, oh so dramatically, “Illuminate Fleet Strength is at 49% now.” Six Mega Cities standing. The Helldivers gotta bunker down with their SEAF buddies. Basically, fight around the clock and keep those cities intact. Once a city falls, well, no going back. Tough break, right?

So, the new goal? Something wild, like striking against the Illuminate 20 million times. Imagine that. Hit that fleet’s health bar right where it hurts. Plus, avenge Eagleopolis. I bet folks on Reddit are losing it. But let’s be real, they’re probably more caught up in posting fan art of those SEAF troopers. Some of it’s getting kinda weird… but hey, fandoms, you know?

Are you getting emotional about Eagleopolis? Give us a shout below, or don’t. No pressure.
