Helldivers 2 Resumes Galactic War After Fixing Game-Breaking Liberation Rate Bug

Developer Arrowhead resolves backend error that disrupted the game's central war mechanic, ensuring players can once again engage in planet liberation missions.

A backend error in Helldivers 2 caused planet liberation rates to skyrocket, temporarily breaking the Galactic War mechanic.
Arrowhead paused the Galactic War to address the issue, halting player contributions to the game's evolving narrative for 24 hours.
The bug, while unintended, accelerated liberation progress in favor of Super Earth but will not be reverted, preserving players' Major Order victories.
The developers have deployed a fix and reassured players that contributions to the Galactic War can now resume as normal.
High Command in the game issued a lore-based explanation, humorously suggesting that reports of anomalies may be due to 'Illuminate mind-influence.'
