To travel to other planets in Helldivers 2, you need to gather your squad in the War Table to view the Galactic War map. On this map, you will see the list of planets that you can visit. Each planet is inhabited by monsters and enemies like Bugs, Illuminate, or Cyborgs.

After selecting a planet, you can choose an Operation to participate in. Each operation consists of several missions with primary and secondary objectives to complete. Once you're done selecting an Operation and a planet, a loading screen will show up, and you will be teleported to the area.

As mentioned, each of the planets corresponds to a level of difficulty. Make sure to choose one that you can take on based on your current progress.

After completing objectives on your chosen planet, you will be rewarded with Requisition Points and XP. Additionally, you can get Warbond medals after finishing Operations, which adds to the liberation progress of a specific planet.

It's important to note that each planet in Helldivers 2 features one of the three environments: the Desert, Snow, and Forest. Desert planets are filled with vast dunes, boiling geysers, and land mines, apart from being home to bug monsters.

Meanwhile, Snow environments feature snowfields, frozen lakes, and cold pools. Because of the rapid and icy waters, you should be cautious when exploring the planet.

Planets with the Forest environment are teeming with thick forests and swamps. These areas are home to the Illuminate enemies that can immobilize you during battle missions.
