We have a hotfix coming from High Command!

Overview This hotfix aims to resolve crashes and to reduce the number of people stuck in the hellpod drop-in loading screen.

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

Greetings, Helldivers!

We wanted to finally give you an idea of what’s going on with our patch.

First of all, our next patch is expected in the second week of June.

Second, we have also pushed out an emergency hotfix to address enemies spawning on the drill in the current major order.

You are right: we’ve slowed down our cadence for patches. We’ll go into more detail about it in an upcoming blog, but the short version is that dedicating more time to each patch will allow us to provide a higher quality standard and reduce the pressure on our teams. At Arrowhead, the physical and mental health of the team is very important to us, and maintaining a long-term sustainable work pace is crucial for our developers and staff to avoid putting anyone at risk of burnout.

Additionally, the cadence at which we were patching left us little time to engage with the community, or build Helldivers 2 alongside our players, in meaningful ways. This slower p... Read more
