Helldivers 2’s Galactic War Effort Undermined by Bug

We all know that bugs represent an existential threat to the future of Super Earth and, by extension, to the players of Arrowhead’s excellent Helldivers 2. However, the ongoing Galactic War effort is being undermined by one more treacherous than most. This makes determining precisely how much Liberty has been spread recently tricky and doubtless will impact morale.

That’s according to a communique from the Game Master, Joel, who announced the news on the game’s official Discord server: “Helldivers! We’re aware of an issue with the Galactic War not tracking your effective spread of Liberty properly. We are investigating this urgently and will keep you posted as soon as we understand the issue and have a fix to communicate to you. Thanks very much for your patience while we squash some software bugs.”

As reported by The Loadout, this could take the form of missing Medals from operation completions or Major Order payouts failing to register. Progression problems have surfaced before and perhaps still linger, potentially the work of Automaton wreckers and saboteurs. No time frame has been given for a fix, but we’ll update you when the situation changes.
