With this site we plan to support two major features for the community. These are an updated Galactic War Map, and a collection of Loadouts featured in the Loadout Tab.
Like many community members, we found ourselves wondering how the war effort was going during our time away from the game. As a result, we decided to manually create a Galactic War Map that we will continue to update. Please note that since we do not have access to any sort of API for the game, and don’t foresee gaining access in the near future as the Devs likely have much bigger things to focus on given the game's success, we have to update this map manually. The current goal will be a map update every 12 hours occurring roughly at Noon and Midnight EST.
We know that the community is very excited to check in on War Map progress more frequently, so we will try our best to provide additional updates to the map more frequently, so treat the 12 hour updates as minimums we hope to exceed.

Note that our map provides all the information you need to check in on the liberation campaign. You can click on sectors to view current liberation progress for that specific sector. Terminid-controlled sectors are colored yellow, and those controlled by the automaton forces are colored red. You can then zoom in to look at different planets, hovering over them will show you the liberation progress for that specific planet. Additionally, active planets are marked with a crosshair so you can quickly see where the fights are taking place.
In the future, we hope to add more information to the map such as current helldiver counts, information on liberation and defense events, and any other useful information that the community may suggest.
In addition to the Galatic War Map we have a section that displays fun, strong, and interesting loadouts for squads ranging anywhere from 1-4 players. You can sort these loadouts based on effectiveness for specific difficulty levels, enemy types, and mission types. Note that at its core Helldivers 2 is game where you can run just about anything and find success. However, we hope to provide new players, and veteran players looking for some extra synergy, or some new ideas, additional information surrounding loadouts and what they can bring to the fight to find success. Some stuff is obvious, like mortars to defense missions, and others more fun, like our Explosions Only Strategem setup.
In the future we hope to provide increased functionality to the loadouts section. Our goals include:
We’d love to hear community feedback regarding what features we can add to the site. We’ll continue to update all features as the game evolves. For now, we continue to liberate, FOR DEMOCRACY!
