Helldivers 2 Glitch Impacts Galactic War Progress

Every time players drop into battle in Helldivers 2, they participate in a significant role in the expansive Galactic War. This is more than just a statement in the game, as Arrowhead’s game master Joel oversees the epic conflict. However, it seems that a glitch has emerged, causing setbacks for the forces of Super Earth.

Issue Detected in Galactic War Tracking

According to The Loadout, there is a malfunction in how Helldivers 2 tracks Medals and Major Orders within the game. Arrowhead is fully aware of the problem, with Game Master Joel acknowledging the issue on the official Discord server. In a message to players, Joel stated, “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 squish some software bugs.”

Arrowhead has not provided an estimated timeline for the fix or whether it will apply retroactively in the Galactic War. Nonetheless, fans of Helldivers 2 can find solace in the fact that Joel is not solely to blame for the challenges they are facing.

Potential Impact on Game Narrative

It will be intriguing to observe whether Arrowhead integrates this glitch into the ongoing story of Helldivers 2. One imaginative scenario could involve the Automatons discovering a method to hack into Super Earth’s computer network, offering a unique explanation for the glitch within the game’s lore. Nevertheless, players are likely more interested in Arrowhead prioritizing bug fixes over elaborate in-universe justifications.
