Overview

  • Chinese players and international allies coordinated to push back the Illuminate, holding Equality-on-Sea at a peak 99.9783% defense rating
  • A mistranslation in the Mandarin version led defenders to believe they could fully reclaim the city, causing confusion when progress could not surpass 99.9783%
  • Frustration over the capped percentage prompted a flood of negative Steam reviews that drove the game’s recent rating into “Mixed” territory
  • The fall of a fourth megacity activated Super Defense Protocol Diamond, slashing supplies and ammunition available to Helldivers on Super Earth
  • With only Equality-on-Sea and Prosperity City remaining under Allied control, the community braces for the next decisive battle
