Helldivers 2

Since its release in early February 2024, Helldivers 2 has been slowly increasing the number of weapons and Stratagems available for players to utilize. At first, it was mechs, then a new Warbond, and now, it looks like we may even get some vehicles to drive around. Recently, though, and I do mean very recently, it’s the enemy factions who have been iterated upon. While Helldivers have been getting new toys to squish Terminids and get blown up by Automatons, Arrowhead Game Studios has quietly upgraded our enemies. It…

The Helldivers 2 balance patch did more than annoy some ride-or-die Railgun fans. It also introduced new environmental hazards. Suddenly, divers weren’t just dodging chargers but were also dancing around falling meteors. Fire tornadoes also arrived in to give us all another nightmare to deal with, and here’s where you can find them. Appropriately, the best place to find fire tornadoes in Helldivers 2 is on the planet Hellmire. Located in the Terminid-controlled sector of Mirin, Hellmire lives up to its name. The planet…

There are few things more satisfying in Helldivers 2 than the day you can exchange those hard-earned Warbond Medals for a shiny new toy. You have four new weapons in the Cutting Edge Warbond in Helldivers 2, but how do you best use them? Obviously, you don’t have any kind of firing range at which you can test your new weapons. Instead, your first thought will likely be simply to field-test the guns against the fleshy bits of a Terminid. But, not so fast! I’ve been spending days trying each weapon against bugs and bots.…

Over time, you can upgrade your Super Destroyer ship in Helldivers 2. With the purchase of new modules, the ship transforms by adding new sectors or weaponry on the bow. But if there’s something that I feel needs to be included on the Helldivers 2 ship, it’s a shooting range. Tell me if this sounds familiar: You’re making your way through the Cutting Edge Warbond and spot the Punisher Plasma weapon. You always wanted an electric shotgun, you just didn’t know until now. Quickly, you buy it and jump into a mission. While…

Last weekend, Helldivers 2 players were left twiddling their thumbs while waiting for a new Major Order that wouldn’t come until the following Monday. When it arrived the objective was not just to clear a planet, but two entire sectors in Terminid space. The community quickly rallied to the cause and is now strategizing against its enemy using the game’s supply lines mechanic for the first time.

Helldivers 2 is a treasure trove of live-service goodness, ranging from a player-friendly “battle pass” to an ever-evolving storyline that continues from the original game, albeit 100 years in the future.

Things have been so bad that despite the mechs’…

Boosters can be some of the most useful parts of your loadout in Helldivers 2, offering subtle boosts that can save your life and be a real game changer. However, the game makes it quite challenging to understand what some of them do. This is truest with the Localization Confusion Booster, an item that barely explains what benefits it offers, so you’ve got to work out what to do with it yourself.
