Helldivers 2 prides itself on the concept of Managed Democracy, and in the latest example of crowdsourced decision-making, the game is asking players to choose a planet to blow up with a shiny new not-a-Death-Star superweapon. Fortunately, these planets aren’t home to any brave Helldivers and are instead populated by the undemocratic factions that refuse to yield to Super Earth.
The latest twist in the Helldivers 2 saga kicked off last week when Super Earth announced that it was upgrading the Democracy Space Station with the Star of Peace weapon. The platform can now fire a “macro-scale laser” optimized for “mass Freedom dispensation” that collapses an entire planet into a black hole.
Helldivers players are now being asked to boot up the Democracy Space Station voting panel from their Galactic Map and choose one of three planets: Zagon Prime, Penta, or Valmox. These are held by the Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate, respectively.
