Helldivers 2's Democratic Super Weapon Now Fully Operational

You may fire when ready

by Khayl Adam 8am

Helldivers 2's Death Star-esque Democracy Space Station is now fully operational, ready to deliver cosmic amounts of destruction to both bug and bot. This vaunted "Weapon of Mass Liberation" has already successfully been used to destroy "a small moon" and awaits new firing solutions.

Super-patriots will be able to cast their vote from the Galactic Map, determining its location and which "Tactical Actions" it should take in a democratic fashion. There are currently three Tactical Actions that can be employed. Planetary Bombardment will unleash "nonstop orbital bombardments", granting planetwide artillery support. Eagle Storm will deploy a swarm of Eagle fighters, able to provide "periodic Eagle airstrikes during missions". Finally, an Orbital Blockade will prevent enemy spacecraft from leaving a planet's atmosphere, preventing further incursions into the systems surrounding Super Earth.

What do you think of the Democracy Space Station? Does it sound like it could swing the eternal conflict one way or the other? Let us know in the comments section below.

Shoot dem buggies

@BiosNova you mean, liberate them? We liberate terminids from their non-democratic existence and we spill oil of the freedom hating automatons.

remember people, HD2 is an EA game, Early Access.
It is not feature full and we are all testing.
As we progress through the story, new game mechanics are being introduced, old ones ironed out. This cycle of galactic war and its story will see us feature full at the end - maybe xmas 2026?
Sony will be able to make a call then weather they want to publish the game for the next (NVidia based) XBOX. Once the game is feature full and out of EA. At full price, not $40.

@TheDudeElDuderino I choose to not remember any of that. Seems redundant now I'm playing it.

Cant blow up a planet..... pathetic....
The empire could destroy whole planets, and that was nearly 50 years ago.....
I would have expected at least an environmentally friendly method of destroying whole planets, if not entire solar systems by now!

@TheDudeElDuderino What nonsense 😂No it isn't. It's an ever changing live service shooter like Destiny, The Division etc. Sony don't allow early access/game previews to be released on their ecosystem. Helldivers 1 still gets updates/has an ongoing war.

@TheDudeElDuderino They never claimed it was an early access game so no it isn't.

@Smash41 Small point, but there have been some select Early Access games on PlayStation. Palworld is early access. Temtem was also on PSN in EA before it reached 1.0. I'm sure there have been a few others.

Just played two missions through the orbital bombardment. Absolutely hellish 😂 That's the most I've died/laughed in a single mission since launch.
