HELLDIVERS™ 2 News
As Helldivers 2 players splatter bug babies, the cause of its sprinting issue might finally have been found
A member of Helldivers 2's community might have just unearthed the bizarre bug behind an issue that's been leading PC folks to believe their keyboards might be faulty. Yup, if you've ever had your helldiver suddenly slow from a sprint to a jog without you doing anything, it turns out they may well just be feeling the effects of someone else's stim.
While some players have been busy investigating this, they've been taking time out from the latest Major Order, which tasks folks with following up their valiant efforts in saving those poor Super Earth kids by, uh, killing some baby Terminids. Come on, stop feeling conflicted and get em' in your sights.
The person who looks as though they've blown this case wide open claims to have "worked in the games industry for 20+ years" and did it just as an aside at the end of a lengthy post on the Helldivers 2 subreddit outlining why they've found the game's lifespan so far quite interesting in terms of the issues that have cropped up.
Дневник адского десантника: Обзор Helldivers 2
Супер-земля. Кабинет офицера Министерства правды. Тусклый свет освещает седую голову и задумчивое выражение лица. Взгляд чиновника направлен в сторону потрепанного планшета, на экране которого текст: "Личный дневник адского десантника... [часть данных повреждена]".
Helldivers 2 enemy spawns appear to be broken after the last big patch
Spawns might be too difficult in Helldivers 2 right now. Multiple players are calling on Arrowhead to nerf the current spawn rates across the game, saying that with the most recent patch there hasn't really been a fix to how many enemies we're facing. I've been having a similar problem for a few weeks now, and Arrowhead is now aware of apparent spawn issues, even if the team is unsure how bad it actually is.

"Sorry bro" but a Helldivers 2 story mode is "not happening"
Those of you hoping for Helldivers 2 to get a dedicated story mode are out of luck, as Arrowhead has absolutely zero plans for one.
Helldivers 2 is obviously one of 2024's biggest games, in part because it's just good fun, but also because of the way its story has evolved over the past few months. It's a story that could only be told in a live-service game, because of the collaborative nature of its various tasks and missions. That hasn't stopped some players wanting a dedicated story mode, though, with one player even asking Arrowhead's brand new CEO Shams Jorjani if such a thing could be created to play with friends. Jorjani had a quite blunt but understandable response: "Not happening. Sorry bro. That's like building an entirely new game."
I can't blame Jorjani for such a response, having to create entire missions with their own unique narratives, on top of maintaining a live-service game, is a tough task for any team, but especially so for a studio like Arrowhead, which really didn't expect the game to blow up as much as it has. Besides, the whole appeal of the game is really the stories you get to tell your friends when you kill a bug in a cool way.
