As of late, Helldivers 2 has been enjoying a constant supply of Helldivers who are ready to dive deep into the game’s liberty-spreading gameplay mechanics and make the best of it. With constant updates and fixes to the gameplay experience, Arrowhead Game Studios is making sure that things remain seamless and enjoyable.
The game’s latest updates plan on keeping this spirit alive, and players are going to enjoy the latest changes being made to the game’s core systems. While this update appears to be minor according to the devs, a few changes hit the heart of Helldivers 2’s core gameplay loops.
What can players expect from the latest Helldivers 2 update?
Based on the official patch notes published by the devs, two major changes are going to hit players at random. Planets are now going to have certain hazardous and unexpected environments, from the likes of fire tornadoes to meteor showers. This will add a twist to the usual PvE content players expect from Helldivers 2.
Furthermore, Eradicate missions are getting a slight overhaul. These will require squads to earn more kills, keeping in mind, that enemies may spawn faster and more frequently. Naturally, these missions will now likely take twice the time to complete, compared to earlier runs.
Finally, stratagems and weapons are getting some balance changes. While these aren’t massive changes, the impact of the same will be seen in the long run as players experiment with different playstyles and observe the skill-ceiling switch up a bit.
The update will also address several small and big issues
While Helldivers 2 has been a fun and enriching experience for both PS5 and PC players, there have been quite a few bugs that have caused problems in the past. Everything from unexpected game crashes to UI/HUD issues, several issues have piled up over the last many weeks.
Fortunately, this update will address all of these, including login issues and quality-of-life content. Overall, this update is not only taking a look at the game’s creative potential and balance changes but also how players passively enjoy the experience that’s outside the battlefield.
This is but the humble beginning of a plethora of free updates coming to Helldivers 2 in the near future. Arrowhead has some serious plans for the game, and players will be exploring more of this liberty-thriving playground as the days pass.
