Helldivers 2 Dev Tracker

Welcome to the Escalation of Freedom, Helldivers. We’ve taken the time to gather feedback from our players on the front lines, and we’re bringing greater variety to our content. From missions and objectives to enemies and planets, we’re delivering a ton of new content for both our veteran players and brand-new Helldivers on the battlefield. Get ready for our biggest update yet!


Our community continues to show us how strong we all are when united against the mindless Automatons and the scourge of the Terminid. As we stand here, on the eve of the Escalation of Freedom, we reflect on the 6 months since launch.

We’ve watched our forces expertly handle every conflict and challenge we’ve thrown their way... Read more

Liberty’s greetings, Helldivers!

Welcome to a new series of community-focused updates on Helldivers 2! Our hope is that we can use these to tell you about the Galactic War happenings, our favorite moments and events, and some of the development plans we have for the game.

THE WAR REPORT Let’s recap the last couple of months on the warfront. May marked the moment that Helldivers met the Terminid Supercolony on Meridia. The first major order involving the spore outbreak was a hard lesson learned for us all, and we saw the Terminid infestation spread to more planets, interfering in the lives of good hearted Super Earth citizens.

The Helldivers briefly turned their attention to the Automaton front in an attempt to secure resources and decommission a whopping 2 billion bots. This operation did not succeed, and Helldivers were again denied access to the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines, making the ensuing conflicts an even bigger challenge.

Taking advantage of our ... Read more

Helldivers!

Johan Pilestedt here, now in the Chief Creative Officer position at Arrowhead. First, I want to thank you, the community, for clearly voicing your opinions and concerns for the balance and fun of the game. With that, we have gone over a lot of the Weapon and Stratagem balance in our latest patch (01.000.400), and we wanted to share with you a little more information on the decisions we made.

With these balance changes we wanted to buff up some of the weaker stratagems to make them more viable and add more opportunity for variety in loadouts. We also changed a few to make them more consistent, but the goal was to keep a similar or higher power level.
We are looking into the stratagems more to see if there are any other stratagems that might need some buffs or changes to make them more viable. We also want to explain why we are making the changes we do, so that you can follow our thinking.

Liberty’s greetings, Helldivers! Are you ready to learn all about the new Viper Commandos Warbond?

Firstly, we have been listening to your feedback as we develop our Warbonds in general. The idea behind each Warbond is to allow our Helldivers to roleplay their favorite soldier fantasies within our universe, but it’s important that these are fantasies that actually appeal to our players.

We’re changing our approach to Warbonds moving forward based on player input in a couple of ways. Firstly, we’re slowing down the pace at which we release Warbonds to give us a little bit more time to polish these designs before they’re released. We don’t want to rush anything out of the oven before it’s fully baked.

Secondly, we are changing the arrangement of items in each Warbond to make room for new item types, and also higher quality armors and weapons. This will prevent us from simply adding more of everything, leading to weapons that feel redundant and uninteresting a... Read more
