A Helldivers 2 player took their fandom to the next level by planting a Super Earth flag in their yard, and got a cool surprise in return. Released in 2024, the game features intense co-op action as squads of soldiers take on wave after wave of alien enemies.
In true parody fashion, Helldivers 2 paints Super Earth as a comically authoritarian regime, much like the dystopia seen in Starship Troopers.
It sends endless troops into battle against alien foes, yet fans fully embrace the satire, uniting in mock patriotism as they confront Automatons, Illuminate, and Terminids.
A Helldivers 2 player, DogsOverEasy, brought in-game patriotism into the real world by flying a Super Earth flag at home.
Their tribute earned them a surprise gift from another fan: a themed keychain and a letter commending their “contribution to Super Earth,” both nods to the game’s beloved Hellbomb Stratagem.

I raised a Super Earth Flag in front of my house last week and I found this on my doorstep today!

The show of “Super Earth solidarity” was met with widespread praise, as fans applauded both the Helldivers 2 community and Arrowhead Game Studios for cultivating a sense of unity.
Others participated by sharing humorous slogans championing Managed Democracy. Many agreed that the Hellbomb token was a perfect memento of the players’ victory in the recent Battle for Super Earth, which followed the Heart of Democracy update.
What really got fans chuckling was the letter’s mention of a “C-01 Permit” awarded to DogsOverEasy. For those unfamiliar, that’s a fictional license to reproduce in Helldivers 2 lore—implying that baby-making without the government’s blessing is strictly forbidden under Super Earth’s rule.
In good humor, fans examined DogsOverEasy’s flag and teased that it didn’t fully match the “One True Flag” Stratagem used in Helldivers 2 as a combat item.
They pointed out a few inaccuracies but quickly decided his passion for Super Earth earned him forgiveness for any minor creative liberties.
