The worst nightmare of all those who fight for Managed Democracy has been made a grim reality.

Despite the valiant efforts of our Helldivers to push back the fleet, the Illuminate have reached Super Earth. Now they are swarming our cities, terrorizing citizens, and destroying our infrastructure. It's time to rise up and take arms and fight for the precious foundations and soil of Democracy manifest. Helldivers, return to our planet and defend what is rightfully ours.


Super Earth… our home

The urban sprawl of Super Earth is the site of the conflict. Fight among the towering skyscrapers and crowded streets of our home turf as the Illuminate rain down destruction all around you.

Inside the city biomes, you will tackle operations and work to liberate cities together, having a significant impact on planetary campaigns.

Repel the invasion

The Helldivers are tasked with a new objective: to repel the Illuminate invasion by gaining ground over the squids as they fight to control areas where the fleet is landing. It won't be a walk in the park, divers. Like a game of intergalactic tug-of-war, you will struggle against the incoming forces, gaining and losing control quickly.


Arm the cannons

Even in the face of such danger, we are not helpless, and all is not lost. The might of Super Earth's arsenal lies hidden beneath our peaceful, democratic streets. With your help, we must activate our Planetary Defense Cannons and take down the Illuminate fleet in a grand show of power.


Call for backup

It's all hands on deck as you encounter SEAF troops who will help join the fight to defend our Freedom. These small squads will fight enemies on their own, or they can be ordered to follow Helldivers and provide temporary backup as you navigate toward objectives. Salute and lead them on the path to victory, divers!


Protect citizens

However, you must also be aware of the many civilians still roaming the streets, fearing for their lives. They may be panicked, Helldivers, but it is your sworn duty to keep them safe and they look to you as the ultimate protectors of liberty. Remember: any civilian lives lost from friendly fire will be punished.


Prepare for the fight

Last week, we released a powerful primary weapon customization system and expanded surplus options to fight against the Illuminate as they emerged from the singularity. Now that you have learned the tactics of these new squid troops–like the Crescent Overseer and the hulking Fleshmob–you must master these tools to continue the fight on Super Earth. Use every available resource, divers, and decimate their forces!

Our major update, Heart of Democracy, is now live. Helldivers, to your hellpods immediately! Citizens, enlistment centers will remain open for recruitment.

The battle for Super Earth has begun.

Looks and runs great on the PC. Not sure what this is in reference too.
In the last pages of the ot people were saying that the perf on pc got worse and worse lately.

IDK then. I can only go off my buddy on his i7 and 9070XT. Runs like glass with everything maxed in 4K, consistently 80+ FPS (over 120+ with frame-gen). Caps it at 90 in the settings and is as smooth as silk.

I still haven't gone in to see the 3rd enemy type. I haven't played it since right after they added a vehicle I think. I forget now. People I was playing with moved on. I wanna get back in though.

I tried when they released them, and they honestly felt worse than both insects and bots but they expanded them so now they probably feel different.

It definitely doesn't run great. I get frequent drops to 40fps regardless of settings on a 3080 12700k and 32GB. The game crashes frequently too, sometimes restarting the PC. It does look awesome though.
 
Is this the part where you say you have a 4090/5090 64GB DDR5 and a 9950X3D? Because my rig is no slouch and runs almost every other game I have almost flawlessly. On PC this game is a bit of a pain and it's kind of widely known at this point.
Nope, mentioned above from my buddy's rig. He will once in a while get bumped, as will I (on PS5), that's a server thing. But as far as performance, no issues.

Same when he had his 2080Ti prior. Had to have settings lowered compared to his now 9070XT, naturally, but ran it well. I wonder if the recent nVidia driver issues are having a play now, since I read they are affecting more than just the 5xxx Series.
