Helldivers 2's new Illuminate Galactic Emergency update has arrived with new enemy types, weapon customization, and a terrifying fleet headed right for Super Earth

Helldivers 2.

The worst has come to pass in Helldivers 2 in the new Galactic Emergency update, my fellow democracy defenders. After months of hard fighting to stop the Illuminate's planet-destroying Meridian Wormhole and a Discord-based ARG that saw players bring a satellite station online, they were confronted with the unthinkable on its live feed: the sight of countless Illuminate ships surging through the Singularity, immediately placing Super Earth and several of her inner colonies under threat.

As per the latest Major Order, all Helldivers are immediately ordered to contest the advance of the invasion fleet by defending the planets Widow's Harbor, Pilen V, and New Haven for as long as they possibly can. Tragically, though, it's a hold that's doomed to fail; Super Earth High Command warns that "all 3 planets will fall" based on defense projections, and that all we can do is bleed as much of the fleet's strength as possible in this fighting retreat.
