HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Let the flames of freedom burn bright with new Helldivers 2 Warbond on 8 August.

They say you can’t start a fire without a spark…

Well Helldivers, we’re about to spark a galactic-scale inferno.

Your new Premium Warbond is deploying to all active patriots on 8th August – codename
Freedom’s Flame.*

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Incinerate everything standing in your path with new weaponry almost too hot to handle; survive the heat of battle with lifesaving armour; and burn brightly across the cosmos with fresh emotes, capes, and skins.

Right now, swarms of disgusting bugs and packs of mechanized monstrosities are invading in-nocent worlds.

Stop them… destroy them… cremate them.

Let’s cook, Helldivers. Light it up in the name of liberty!

FIREPOWER

PRIMARY:
SG-451 Cookout

Burn, baby, burn! A pump action shotgun that unleashes a burst of incendiary phosphorus pellets at your helpless enemies.


FLAM-66 Torcher
A lightweight flamethrower shooting pressurized fuel through a nozzle into a roaring, open flame. Sounds safe. It isn’t. Watch where you’re standing.


SECONDARY:
P-72 Crisper

A flamethrower that fits in your pocket for the Helldiver on the go! What will those guys think of next? This lovely compact handgun projects a jet of freedom flames over short distances.

BOOSTER Fiery Drop – Firebomb Hellpods
Scorch the earth (and anything else) below as you touch down with attitude and ignite the drop-site.


ARMOUR I-09 Heatseeker
Proudly display the burnished blood-red plates that were forged in righteous fire, like the heroes they were wrought to protect. A true vision of democracy.

I-102 Draconaught
Ah, there’s nothing quite like those satisfying screeches as the enemies of freedom burn. Enjoy it all in this 14-cm sheathed silica fibre foam armour, with exclusive tube-to-ear feature.


Armour Passive
Inflammable! Enjoy 75% damage resistance to fire as you run head-first into danger like the un-stoppable legend your mum said you’d be.

TITLE Fire Safety Officer
You can now call yourself Fire Safety Officer. Doesn’t come with a certificate.

SKIN Safety Orange
Repaint your Shuttle, Hellpod, and exosuit in striking Safety Orange.


CAPES & CARDS Purifying Eclipse
A heartfelt tribute to the Liberation of Choepessa IV in the First Galactic War, in which so much orbital ordnance was detonated that its sun was occluded by ash for an entire lunar cycle.

The Breach
The final mission of the 361st Freedom’s Flame saw this storied unit deploy into the heart of a Supervolcano in a mission of heroic sacrifice. Triggering a huge eruption, this act of incredible bravery wiped out a massive Terminid swarm.
As documented in the bestselling graphic novel ‘The Breach’ – available at all good book shops on Super Earth.

EMOTES Big Stretch, Deep Reflection, and Thoracic Collision Exultation Manoeuvre Co-emote
If you’re going to win. Win in style.

Freedom’s Flame is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel on 8th August.

So ramp up the temperature to fry up some tasty justice, served with a side order of delicious grilled democracy.

Tonight we dine – and dive – in hell.

See you planetside.

Мы только начали: Авторы Helldivers 2 анонсом крупного обновления делают лишь первый шаг для развития игры

Вчера для Helldivers 2 анонсировали крупное обновление Escalation of Freedom, которое станет самым крупным с момента релиза. Помимо этого, авторы уже готовят еще больше контента для геймеров.

Oh boy, Helldivers 2's Escalation of Freedom update already has would-be Super parents brainstorming Terminid baby names

Following yesterday's announcement of Helldivers 2's "biggest update yet", Escalation of Freedom, there's a lot to get excited about ahead of its arrival on August 6. Though, one of the new mission types that's set to arrive has players already doing something a bit bizarre — coming up with names for the Terminid babies they'll be carrying.

If you missed the update's reveal, you can check out a run-down of what it includes here — it should be music to your ears, especially if you've been desperate for a fresh challenge difficulty-wise or just in the form of new enemies. Meanwhile, if you've been thinking the game needs a bit more of a Death Stranding-style twist to it, you're also in luck.

You see, one of the new mission types outlined in the trailer below sees you tasked with picking up a little test-tube backpack and successfully delivering it to the extraction point. The problem is that it contains a Terminid larva, which'll make your job a harder by attracting swarms of protective bugs to attack you via its cries.

Helldivers 2 is struggling, but the huge new update could fix it all
