Helldivers 2 players have discovered that certain planets with Super Earth Armed Forces (SEAF) training bases grant significant liberation boosts to all other planets, but these benefits are lost permanently if the planet falls to enemies. This crucial information wasn’t widely known, prompting calls for better in-game notifications.
These SEAF bases send recruits to aid in the fight against Automatons and Terminids, enhancing the overall liberation effort. For instance, the planet Vernen Wells provided a 5% boost in liberation efforts until it was captured by Automatons, resulting in the permanent loss of its bonus.
Players have taken to Reddit to request visible markers on the map to identify these SEAF planets, emphasizing the need for prioritizing their defense. Despite being mentioned in Major Orders, many players missed this detail, leading to significant strategic disadvantages.
In response to player feedback, there’s a strong consensus for an in-game public service announcement (PSA) or map indicators to highlight these important planets. Until such a feature is implemented, players are urged to focus on defending Heeth, Angel’s Venture, and Aesir Pass, the remaining planets providing these essential bonuses.
