As an extension of the game released in 2015, the Intergalactic War mode takes the form of a large space map whose sectors must be liberated thanks to the efforts of the entire community, a community made up of PS5 and PC players who can spread the game. Controlled democracy in cross-play. To the terrible insects we already knew, the Terminides, a new faction of machines and robots, the Automatons, have been added. Helldivers live to fight: once their training is complete, they are cryogenically frozen until summoned. They then wake up in their spaceship where they review a strategy table and choose their next destination. This choice is free, even if the higher military authorities of Super-Earth would emphasize the priorities of the moment. These priority tasks have two forms: on the one hand time-limited objectives that will involve the joint efforts of the community and on the other hand personal objectives that only concern you and your team (for example going to kill monsters in a certain way to get a reward).
Mission objectives are not limited to exterminating all non-human life, but can be reactivating a generator, finding launch codes, retrieving important information, or completing optional objectives for further rewards. In terms of progression, we learned that the spaceship can be upgraded for resources found on the battlefield to unlock more infrastructure and purchase more weapons, armor and gimmicks. Finally, Arrowhead makes it clear that the developers will not fail to monitor the development of the intergalactic war in real time to interact accordingly with the community, either by giving it a boost or, conversely, by increasing the challenge.
