With the latest twist in Helldivers 2's conflict seeing the Illuminate push players towards battling on Super Earth itself, developer Arrowhead has revealed that it's making an important change to how the Galactic War - more specifically planet liberation - works.
Yesterday was a big day in Helldivers 2, with Arrowhead finally pulling the trigger on the massive Illuminate invasion it'd spent days building to with teases. However, it looks like there's a chance yet another big update could be just around the corner, if an alleged PlayStation leak proves on the money.
Co-op shooter Helldivers 2 added its third enemy faction, the Illuminate, back in December. Now the alien squids are headed towards Super Earth itself, and to counteract this latest threat to democracy developers Arrowhead are giving soldiers new ways to customise their weaponry.
After countless battles and many lives lost, Arrowhead has started the biggest conflict in the history of Helldivers 2. The Illuminate is standing on Super Earth's doorstep, and they're not going to knock twice. The squid-like menace is throwing new enemies our way, but luckily for us, we've got weapon customization features to fight back with. So whether you stepped away from Helldivers 2 or have always been on the front line, it's time to suit up and defend Super Earth to your last breath.

There's nothing going on with Helldivers 2 today. It's a quiet one. Well, aside from the whole fresh Illuminate invasion deployed alongside some new enemies and mechanics. If that wasn't enough to digest, the full patch those additions are part of - 01.003.000 - has delivered a bunch of fresh weapon balancing.
