In Helldivers 2, players can only travel to planets that are currently contested. One player somehow made it to Over-Earth and what he found there might scare you.
How did the player make it to Over-Earth? User Drakenhorn shared a virtual postcard from Over-Earth on Reddit with greetings to his fellow Helldivers. According to the user, he replayed the tutorial and bugged out of the area. After restarting the game, he found himself in his spaceship in the space of Over-Earth.
Did you miss the new war bond? Then we have the right trailer for you:
If you don’t put in the effort, you’ll probably be fighting for Over-Earth
Can the war really reach Over-Earth? Apparently, the war can really reach Over-Earth. The user wrote in the comments on Reddit that Over-Earth behaved like any normal planet, and he is sure that you could fight on it too. This confirms the grim theory that one day the war might really come to Over-Earth.
Currently, the Helldivers are far from their home planet, but if Game Master Joel assists the opponents and the war shifts as a result, defending Over-Earth would also be possible.

How does the community react to the love greetings from Over-Earth? Players are glad to see the orbit of Over-Earth again. In classic RP manner, they comment on the post on Reddit with the calls from the trailer like “Sweet Freedom” or “Prosperity. Freedom. Democracy. Our way of life.”
But the news that Over-Earth could be the target of an invasion by robots or bugs also resonates with the community. WaifuRekker writes on Reddit: “There are assets and textures in the game files for the vegetation and terrain of Over-Earth.” This would already make an attack on the home world possible.
The surprise attack of a third faction on the world of humans also exists in the minds of the players.
makesterriblejokes writes on Reddit: “I have a feeling we could be playing here even if we don’t lose the war. I somehow suspect they could introduce the Illuminati by launching a surprise attack on Super-Earth.”
Whether the developers or Game Master Joel will steer the war towards Over-Earth or if a third faction will soon interfere is unclear. Players already want to have proven that the Illuminati from Helldivers 1 are involved: Players find evidence in Helldivers 2 that a new enemy faction is already involved
