Checking Planet Status
In Helldivers 2, planet status serves as a visual representation of a planet's liberation progress. To check the status of a planet:
- Navigate to the Galactic War Map on your Destroyer Ship.
- Select a sector controlled by either the Terminid or Automaton forces.
- Hover your cursor over a planet to view its liberation percentage.
- The blue portion of the bar indicates liberated land, while the red (Automatons) or yellow (Terminids) portion represents areas still under enemy control.
Liberating Planets
Achieving liberation in Helldivers 2 involves completing missions available on each planet. The more missions players undertake, the higher the liberation percentage increases. Once a planet reaches 100% liberation, further missions become unavailable.
Tracking Major Orders
To monitor Major Orders and their progress:
- Enter your Super Destroyer ship and open the 'Dispatches' menu at the bottom-right of your screen (hold down the L2 button on PlayStation 5).
- Read the Dispatches for detailed information on the Major Order and its progress.
- On the Galactic War map, locate planets involved in the Major Order by following the white Super Earth icon.
- Hover over these planets to view the progress bar, percentage completed, and the number of Helldivers dispatched.
Tips for Success
- Play in a squad to increase your chances of success and coordination.
- Focus on planets where your efforts can make a meaningful difference.
- Adjust your gear to match the requirements of each mission.
- Tracking War Progress
- The Major Order section on the galactic map displays the end date of the Major Order, planets needing liberation or defense, and rewards.
- Stay informed by participating in community discussions on platforms like Reddit or the game's official Discord channel.
- Visit Helldivers.io for comprehensive war statistics, including hourly percentage gains and visual supply lines.
By mastering the art of checking planet status and understanding the dynamics of the Galactic War, players can contribute significantly to the fight for freedom in Helldivers 2.
