Welcome to another community update for the month of July! We’re back again to give you an update on the Galactic War happenings, some of our favorite moments, and a development spotlight for Helldivers 2!

The War Report
Our last war update took us through the destruction of Meridia. After that, the Helldivers turned their attention to the Automatons and Database One – a stronghold of bot information, hidden deep in Automaton territory on the planet Wasat and protected by super strong encryption. With the help of complementary FX-12 Shield Generator Relays (thanks to our Ministry of Defense!), our troops successfully captured Database One, extracted the info, and liberated Wasat from the Automaton forces.

But then the Automatons did the unthinkable. They came after two of our greatest resources: raw ingredients used to create the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines and the precious children of Super Citizen Anne’s Hospital for Very Sick Children on Vernen Wells. Due to the unfo... Read more

They say you can’t start a fire without a spark…

Well Helldivers, we’re about to spark a galactic-scale inferno.

Your new Premium Warbond is deploying to all active patriots on 8th August – codename
Freedom’s Flame.*



Incinerate everything standing in your path with new weaponry almost too hot to handle; survive the heat of battle with lifesaving armour; and burn brightly across the cosmos with fresh emotes, capes, and skins.

Right now, swarms of disgusting bugs and packs of mechanized monstrosities are invading in-nocent worlds.

Stop them… destroy them… cremate them.

Let’s cook, Helldivers. Light it up in the name of liberty!

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 could never have predicted how far this game would go and how many Citizens would answer Super Earth's call to arms!

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

UPDATE 5/6/2024:

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.

We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

Attention Helldivers,

Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS™ 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post.

Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games. This is our main way to protect... Read more
