Helldivers 2 pauses Galactic War after game-breaking backend bug


There's a temporary truce in Helldivers 2's Galactic War, after a game-breaking bug introduced during maintenance.

"While we know this is fun, we also know that it is breaking the Galactic War mechanic itself," Arrowhead wrote in a post on social media. Watch on YouTube While players' sudden tide of victory will not be turned back, Arrowhead has frozen the Galactic War so no further damage to the game's balance is done. In the meantime, Helldivers 2 will remain fully playable, but victories will not contribute to the wider goal of liberating planets within the war.
