Eagleopolis Falls as Helldivers 2 Players Earn 2.5 Billion Squids

May 23, 2025 2:24 PM

In a tumultuous update regarding Helldivers 2, the battle for Super Earth has reached a critical point. Despite achieving a staggering 2.5 billion defeats of the Illuminate foes, the Mega City of Eagleopolis has fallen. This marks the first major loss in the ongoing conflict, leaving remaining cities under extreme pressure as players are urged to fortify defenses and continue engaging the Illuminate threats. Arrowhead Game Studios estimates the Illuminate fleet's strength at 49%, prompting an urgent call for Helldivers to extract successfully from missions 20 million times to turn the tide in defense of Super Earth.

What happened to Eagleopolis in Helldivers 2?

Eagleopolis, a major stronghold in Helldivers 2, has fallen despite the heroic efforts of players, serving as a warning to the remaining Mega Cities that they must defend against the relentless Illuminate invasion.

It immerses players in a sci-fi universe where they take on the roles of elite soldiers fighting to protect Super Earth from extraterrestrial threats. The game encourages teamwork and strategic planning as players navigate through a vast, hostile environment filled with chaotic alien encounters. The ongoing narrative surrounding the fight to reclaim and protect Mega Cities adds depth to its gameplay experience, creating a pressing challenge for the dedicated player community.

Losing Eagleopolis stings, but hey—at least the war’s still winnable if we stop goofing around and actually extract those 20 million times. Gotta respect Arrowhead for making a game where failing actually feels impactful instead of just resetting the map.

Wow, losing Eagleopolis hits hard—guess we underestimated those Illuminate jerks. Time to rally the squad and push back before they take another city Arrowhead really knows how to keep the tension high with these live updates. Love how the community’s efforts (or lack thereof) shape the story in real time.
