Howdy, Helldivers! Have you ever wanted to be a space cowboy, enforcing the fair laws of Super Earth on the edges of our galaxy, protecting our most remote colonies from undemocratic threats? Then step up, pardner, and claim your sheriff’s star with the new premium Warbond*: Borderline Justice!



We’re going to the Wild West with the weapons this time. First up, let’s take a gander at the new R-6 Deadeye lever-action hunting rifle. You can look forward to killin’ time bullseying bugs and rounding up squids and looking cool while you do it.



But a lawman is nothing without his trusty sidearm. And instead of individual shots, the LAS-58 Talon “revolver” secondary is energy-based, meaning a slow and s... Read more

Freedoms Greetings Helldivers, Release Captain Carlberg here with the latest and greatest from Super Earth. For this update we also have a special message from High Command.
Lets dive in

Overview
Hello everyone!
It’s been an “interesting” week with a patch that had a few unexpected slip-ups. After testing and balancing, the wrong versions of some files for our new Warbond items were shipped, which wasn’t part of the plan. Misaligned scopes also made an unwelcome return, albeit in a new form - some bugs really are persistent, aren’t they? (Silently stares off into the distance…)
So, we even double-checked the scale of the LAS-16 Sickle, just to be sure.
On to the key points for this patch:

• The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle was meant to start with light armor penetration and build up to medium as more heat built up, but it launched with medium armor penetration right away, even with zero heat.

• The GP...

Let’s be honest, Helldivers: Super Earth is worth it. No matter what “it” is. All Helldivers share this same belief, and fanatical loyalty is expected from all citizens of Super Earth. But the Helldivers need to demonstrate their allegiance. They need to look like the democratic disciples they are inside, and the only way we know to properly show it off is with the gear from our next Warbond*: Servants of Freedom.



So what does true devotion to Democracy look like?

Hellbombs. It looks like Hellbombs. They really send a message: liberation is big, loud, and happening all around you. It gets the spirit of democracy soaring, and gets a lot of other things soaring, too, like buildings. Bile Titans. Automaton industrial sites. Now, imagine you’ve got that kind of freedom strapped to your back. That’s the B-100 Portabl... Read more

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.

These Omens of Tyranny

The Illuminate Return
