HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Helldivers 2 updates could bring back the first game's sneaky teleporting Illuminate faction

Nose around Helldivers 2's Galactic War map and you might notice that there's a lot of empty space. Around half the celestial sphere is given over to the dominions of the Automatons and Terminids, leaving ample room for another enemy faction to be inserted via free update or paid DLC. What could that next faction be? Surely it can't be any worse than a horde of giant bugs or a legion of robots. Surely it can't be, say, a highly advanced elder species of teleporting illusionists equipped with lightning guns and cloaking devices. Oh dear.

What are the best Helldivers 2 builds? A question on many a Helldiver's mind right now - no one wants to be seen with the wrong equipment for the task at hand, do they? But fear not, with our hand-picked builds, you won't be the one being reinforced time and time again; you'll be the one planting the flag of Super Earth.

Helldivers 2 has gone from strength to strength as more Helldivers have joined in the fight for managed democracy.

Good news, Robot Vietnam vets, Helldivers 2's mechs look close to being deployed

It seems like half the world is having fun in Helldivers 2 at the moment - well, when the game’s poor servers are allowing them to - and it looks like mechs, a promised feature that’ll likely make the game even more of a blast, are close to being ready to chuck out into the field.

Yep, after teases that original Helldivers-style vehicular backup would be coming to the game at some point after launch, it looks like we could be quite close to their arrival, even if it’ll probably have to wait until all those server issues have been brought under control. So, maybe re-watching this trailer every day and praying might not need to be part of your daily routine much longer.

Super Earth needs you - no, democracy needs you. The universe is ablaze, war is everywhere, and the world has been plunged into chaos. But, unfortunately, it isn't just the galaxy that teeters on the brink of calamity; the Helldivers 2 servers are struggling, too. With Arrowhead working round the clock to try and open the floodgates for more players, CEO Johan Pilestedt has explained that simply buying more servers isn't an option.
