HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Don't look now, but Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has just officially confirmed that the long-rumoured and highly-requested mechs that folks loved in the first game are on their way to its sequel. When? Well, "soon".

Yup, it's been ages, but the vehicular backup that might just make a difference in the battle for galactic supremacy looks like it's going to be more than just something you can salivate over in a trailer or comb through a Discord server for mentions of.

In a tweet, Arrowhead Game Studios has declared: "HELLDIVERS! The EXO-45 Patriot Exosuits are in full production in the factories of Tien Kwan. Ready for deployment on the battlefield soon!"

While plenty of members of the huge gaggle of folks playing Helldivers 2 have been spending a lot of time lately desperately trying to work out which of its guns is the best, like nerds, there’s now at least one who's given up on that an launched a campaign of sorts to try and convince Arrowhead to add in proper melee weapons.

What are they doing, you ask? Well, amid the intense firefights over planets like Malevelon Creek, they’ve decided to start bonking as many enemies on the head in order to finish them off as is humanly possible. No, this isn’t unhinged behaviour, it’s an admirable sacrifice.

“I WON'T STOP TILL I'M GIVEN A MELEE WEAPON JOEL,” the player in question, who goes by the utterly terrifying username xXIns1d1ousXx, has calmly declared in a post on the game’s subreddit, which shows off their pretty impressive melee kill total. Yes, Helldivers 2 has a melee kills stat, but right now it pretty much only exists to cover deaths that occur as a result of you slapping an automaton or bug with the butt of your rifle or shotgun, since there are no proper melee weapons.

It is no secret that the launch of Helldivers 2 last month has been one for the books. It may not have broken industry records in sales volume or player numbers, but everything about it has been painting a picture we rarely - if ever - get to see in our current version of the games industry.

Helldivers 2 is a game that sold very well at release, even beating its own developer’s internal metrics. Usually, that’s the end of the good news, as sales and player interest inevitably trail off following launch.

But that’s not what happened here.

Фанаты Helldivers 2, неожиданно ставшего мегахитом, решили противопоставить нашумевший кооперативный шутер производства Arrowhead Studios шутеру Halo: Infinite, не снискавшего особой любви и внимания игроков. Это, ожидаемо, привело к холивару, мимо которого не прошел геймдиректор свежего хита.
