HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Yep, there's already another Helldivers 2 Major Order, because, if you missed it, the last one got blown through quicker than you can say 'oh boy, I sure can't wait to stomp some bugs'. Thankfully, this new one should take a bit longer, and even offers a chance for some of the community's armchair generals to see if they truly know ball when it comes to battle strategy.

If nothing else, it seems like a fun test for the forces that'll be getting their hands on an interplanetary battle station at some point in the near future, and will presumbaly be using it to get involved in plenty more interstellar battles.

"After an explosive force that took far less time than Super Earth High Command could have anticipated, there exists now one hundred million less fascist bugs in the Galaxy," this latest order reads, "Never underestimate the bug-killing capacity of Helldivers and an expanded arsenal! This application of controlled duress to the Terminid menace has resulted in some exciting findings, such as that the Terminids produce higher quality E-710 when harvested under extreme duress."

​Руководство студии Arrowhead по-прежнему планирует долгосрочное развитие игры-сервиса Helldivers 2. Об этом заявил новый гендиректор Шамс Джорджани, который отреагировал на критику со стороны фанатов.

Did you blink during that latter half of July 10, 2024? Well, if so, there's a good chance you missed an entire Helldivers 2 Major Order, as Arrowhead let folks celebrate securing some battle station plans by blowing through an entire bug-killing goal in record time.

We've known that the amount of stuff the forces of Super Earth can kill in quick sucession defies the laws of maths for a while now, but it's the first time in a little bit those bug-killing talents have been put on full display like this.

"After having handled the Automaton pressure upon X-45 with heroism and style that would make any Commando proud, it is time to test out their arsenal upon the Terminid scum, for science," read the brief for this latest order, which I'm only really quoting because you might have missed actually getting to read it, "The Helldivers are tasked with eliminating bugs using a variety of weaponry to stress the terminid population into controlled but accelerated evolution."

If you've been trying to drop into a firefight in Helldivers 2 recently and have ended up getting stuck in an infinite loading screen loop, then good news. The game's latest hotfix is aimed squarely at stopping that from happening as much. Also, Arrowhead's teased that we might start getting some info on the next warbond "soonish".

As outlined in a set of patch notes that's mostly made up of the usual section on "Known Issues", Arrowhead's used patch 1.000.405 to specifically home in on one issue. It's those poor folks who've tried to join the action, but have ended up trapped in the hellpod drop-in loading screen, with it infinitely looping rather than the game allowing itself to move on the next stage of depositing affected divers in their planet of choice.

It's important to note that, while the fix "aims to reduce the number of people" currently being affected by the issue, it doesn't sound like Arrowhead's totally eliminated it, so you might need to file another bug report if you hop on today after updating and find that you're still experiencing the problem. It goes without saying, but if you do, please think of the poor folks who've got to read it, even if you're understandably frustrated.
