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

Do you want the good news or the bad news? Let’s start with the good because, well, we need a win. So, Helldivers 2 managed to wipe out over two billion Illuminate, which is epic in a chaotic, space-war kind of way. But, and here’s the kicker, Eagleopolis? Yeah, it still fell. Bummer, right?

So here’s the scene: tons of Helldivers diving (literally) into battle, trying to save one of Super Earth’s mega cities. It’s like this desperate mission with everyone, I dunno, hoping for some huge save. But nope, the city still turned to rubble. So, if you’re feeling down, maybe hug your SEAF buddy or watch a clip of a Leviathan surf. It’s weirdly calming. Or not.

Oh, remember that earlier defense against the Illuminate after the Heart of Democracy update? It seemed hopeful, right? Like, two and a half billion Illuminate down – sounds good, huh? But nope, Arrowhead hit us with a rough update: “Eagleopolis is now a ruin, its shopping centers like ghostly warnings.” Talk about a mood.

One down, six to go. The battle rages on, you know? There’s progress in this crazy fight. Destroying the Illuminate fleet sounds way too epic, but maybe not impossible, or maybe I’m just overly optimistic. Anyway, where was I?

Oh right, back to Arrowhead’s latest: Illuminate’s strength is cut to 49%. Still, six Mega Cities stand. The Helldivers are digging in, partnered with SEAF allies, fighting like there’s no tomorrow. It’s like a non-stop, defend-everything-at-any-cost scenario. The Mega Cities are counting on them, real intense stuff.

The new mission? Something about successful extractions against the Illuminate 20 million times. Serious numbers, right? And all this to avenge Eagleopolis. People are probably ranting about it or posting fan art with odd SEAF-affection over on reddit.
