Helldivers 2 troops are busy working on a mission to defend ten planets from bugs and bots. However, a technical problem has hit the game’s systems, causing a minor outage.
The game’s developer, Arrowhead Studios, explained that a long-range array was destroyed on Vernon Wells, causing this issue. Because of this, players might not see their progress properly tracked during the current game event.
Helldivers!
Our galactic war systems are suffering a minor outage after the destruction of a long-range array on Vernen Wells. During this time, your liberation efforts may not be tracked and progress may not display properly. Our teams are looking into the issue as we speak!

This outage is especially inconvenient because the game is intentionally making things harder for players during this phase. However, the developers are working to fix the problem and adjust the game systems to help players in the future.
The studio also mentioned the challenges of running an ongoing game like Helldivers 2, where they have to add new content while also fixing any issues to keep the game exciting and relevant.
