Helldivers 2 Dev Tracker

Seasons greetings, Helldivers!

We’re here to talk to you about our crossover with Killzone, which added new premium items to the Superstore.

As this was our first crossover offering, we’ve been listening to the response, and the feedback we’ve received from our community surveys is that crossover content is really high up on your wishlists.

At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items and we will revisit this.

Many of you were also concerned that items wouldn’t be in rotation for long enough, and there was a bit of concern around how these items exist outside of our usual Warbond releases, which are always themed in our own universe.

Because of all this, in partnership with our friends at Guerrilla (and as we’re in the season of holiday cheer), we’ve decided to offer a gift to all players.

Firstly, we are gifting to everyone the planned second wave of the Helldivers x Killzone collaboration items today,... Read more

Greetings, Helldivers!

We hope you’re having an awesome time with Omens of Tyranny and are busy maintaining sweet liberty in a star system near you by offering the undemocratic Illuminate hordes another way of life: death.

To celebrate your heroics in liberating the Voteless from their tortured existence, we’re bringing to the table our first official crossover - and it’s a super cool one.

We decided a long time ago to do crossovers only if and when they make perfect sense for the game. So in that spirit, we’re hyped to announce our very first crossover: Killzone 2.



Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 belongs to a new tier of special Premium content reserved for collaborations and other uniquely-themed work. Our plan is to offer you something distinct and special.

High Command informs us that beyond the Superstore content, there’s also an additional Killzone 2 reward for all Helldivers depending on your success in the Galactic War…

The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed.



These are dark times for freedom loving citizens everywhere. Our galaxy grows cold from the embrace of old enemies returning and darkens with the threat of new horrors emerging.

We must now stand together in Super Earth's light and oppose these sinister tidings.
These Omens of Tyranny

The Illuminate Return
Missing for almost a century, the Illuminate will challenge our recruits more than the other factions they have faced. They are advanced, highly-intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.

Helldivers, the Omens of Tyranny have arrived! The Illuminate are back, and with them, a new wave of terror threatens our democracy. After nearly a century of relative peace, these technologically advanced enemies have returned.
The Illuminate are conducting mysterious invasions across the galaxy, seizing our colonies and converting our citizens. These staging attacks and Illuminate disappearances are too precise and elusive to suggest a full-scale planetary conquest, but their methods and intentions remain a dire enigma.

If there’s one thing we love here on Super Earth, it’s the truth. We’ve even got a whole Ministry dedicated to the creation, fine-tuning, and wide distribution of it. It’s about time we gave our Helldivers some Ministry of Truth-approved equipment to match our deep, enduring love of and commitment to the Truth. With these tools, you will become one of Super Earth’s official Truth Enforcers.



Being a Truth Enforcer means showing your allegiance–your loyalty–to Super Earth’s superiority as the arbiters of truth. The best way to demonstrate loyalty? By carrying the PLAS-15 Loyalist plasma pistol. Come on, it’s got “loyal” in the name already. It also allows you to shoot semi-auto style, or you can charge it up for a shot with more kick.

Fellow Helldivers,

As we wrap up our 60-day community commitment, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we've taken together. Your feedback regarding the Escalation of Freedom update was both insightful and vital to our improvement process. We listened, we learned, and we took action.

Key developments:

• 
  There’s been a comprehensive balancing pass on over 70 weapons and stratagems, reworking armor penetration and adjusting enemy armor and health values
• 
  Several enemies have been overhauled to ensure they present a challenge while feeling rewarding to defeat. Notable changes include reducing armor values for heavy enemies like Hulks, Chargers, Impalers and Bile Titans, along with limiting the rocket fire from Devastators and Gunships
• 
  We took a deep dive into core systems like enemy spawning as well as targeting and vision for the Automatons

In terms of performance, we’ve made some ... Read more

We have also dedicated some time and we’ve looked over some key core systems like enemy spawning as well as targeting and vision for the Automatons.
