Helldivers 2's latest in-game campaign sees the champions of strategically mitigated democracy supervising the construction of yet another massive wall of pine-scented gas in space. Kicking off with the Frontlines of Freedom update, out now, it's a bid to keep those evil "fascist" Terminid insects away from Super Earth, building on the foundations of the abortive original "Termicide" campaign back in March 2024.
