Helldivers 2's cowboy-themed Warbond, Borderline Justice, has just arrived in-game, meaning you can put on your spurs and get ready to ride out to kill some bugs or bots. However, its armours don't boast one key bit of cowboy kit - a stetson. Thankfully, a modder has stepped up on that front for folks on PC.
Balancing has been one of the hottest topics during Helldivers 2's rollercoaster lifespan to this point - an endless source of debate and controversy among players, especially whenever Arrowhead's been seen to deliver more nerfs than buffs. However, the game's director doesn't reckon trying to strike a perfect balance is something devs should focus too heavily on, because it's a "myth".
Breaking news, folks: co-op bug basher Helldivers 2 is a satire on authoritarian regimes, and apparently such an effective one that the United Nations even contacted Arrowhead to ask if they'd give a talk about psychological manipulation. Speaking at GDC as part of a presentation named 'Helldivers 2: Capturing Lightning in a Bottle,' Chief Easily identifiable satire Officer Johan Pilestedt gave some insight into the game's themes, then bragged about having the UN blowing up his DMs constantly (said they got in contact once). Cheers, Percy Gamer.
Right, you've clearly not had enough Helldivers 2 stuff to think about today, March 18, so you'll be glad to hear that the latest Galactic War major order's pretty simple. You've just got to choose between, er, fighting what sound like the Jet Brigade's freshly formed fiery siblings, or actually doing something that might stop the Illuminate blowing up more planets.
Helldivers 2's just gotten a fresh patch, and it brings with it a fair amount of balancing tweaks to stuff like weapons, strategems, and even some enemies. Before you freak out, though, things a pretty heavy on the buff side this time.
