Previous criticisms focused on weapon balance and controversy surrounding a mandatory PlayStation Network requirement. The latest backlash centres on the defence of Super Earth's final two Mega-Cities.

However, the game's design means the defence mission cannot reach full completion while the Illuminate continuously invade until the time limit expires. This issue has driven many negative reviews, dropping Helldivers 2's recent Steam rating to "Mixed." The frustration comes despite the "Heart of Democracy" update, which introduced these Mega-City defences and led to a notable increase in player numbers.

For now, players continue to defend Super Earth and engage with ongoing content, awaiting fixes and future updates.

So, rotate the turret of the cannon and adjust the elevation with the use of base valves (cannon's foot). Align the crosshair with the shield of the Overship. Hit the terminal once again for the 5-second countdown. The first shot will weaken the shield. The second will disable, and the third will destroy the ship. If you miss the step, you will waste the shots, just hitting the buildings and not the Overship. But you can always adjust and then retry without any ammo required. Note : Unlike the other artillery, the PDCs have unlimited ammo. Feel free to blast the smaller targets, like the Leviathans, for fun—if you are able to hit them. Helldivers 2 gameplay tips for smoother Cannon operation Stick with the team. While 1 handles the aim, the others can defend against the illuminated attacks. Watch for the fire as even the friendly fire penalties here apply. So do not shoot near the allies or the civilians. Make strategic use of the cannon. Remember, even after Overship is down, the PDCs can easily clear the enemy's stragglers or the dropships. With the steps mentioned above, you can turn the defense of the Super Earth into a devastating weapon. Give the cannons priority early in the missions to clear the skies faster.

Helldivers 2 Finally Takes The Fight To The City Streets In Urban Warfare Update
The Illuminate threat has spend the last few days on a collision course with Super Earth, and now the planet is under siege as players face the extraction shooter's biggest challenge yet. A new Heart of Democracy update ups the stakes and adds urban warfare, as Helldivers 2' player count once again surges. It's basically War of the Worlds meets Halo 3: ODST out there right now. The invasion will task players with activating cannons to take out the Illuminate ships and team up with AI-controlled ally troops patrolling the local Mega City streets. There will also be citizen NPCs running for their lives. Players will have to protect that lot as well, and will be punished for any friendly fire accidents. Here's the Heart of Democracy trailer: Helldivers 2 has been in a bit of a lull for the last few months, but last week's massive patch got many fans to dust off their drop pods and log back on with the addition of weapon customization, new melee armaments, and lots of arsenal re-balancing. The game's concurrent player count is now headed back well beyond 100,000 on Steam where most of the game's hardcore community plays. The AI-controlled ally SEAF trooper squads are the biggest draw so far. While players have spent over a year of Helldivers 2 fighting again massive alien armies alone or with three other teammates, the Super Earth battlefields are full of NPCs to aid them as part of the planet's defenses. That includes shooting at giant Illuminate tripod units, but also things as simple as pushing buttons to unlock weapon cashes and saluting as you run by. They are meant to be expendable, but players are protecting them like all of their Super Samples depend on it. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
