Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 received patch 1.000.103 today to the delight of mech fans. But hours later, the team snuck out a fix for something that has been a thorn in the side of the community. For those wanting to invite cross-platform friends, a new fix for Helldivers 2 has arrived. The cross-platform friend invite fix was announced on the official Helldivers 2 Discord sometime after the big patch went live. According to Arrowhead Games’ community lead, Katherine Baskin, the patch was applied directly to the game’s backend. You…

If you’re looking for the best Automaton loadout in Helldivers 2, look no further. Since fighting the brutal robots is drastically different than what we’re used to with the Terminids, some weapons and strategies may vary between showdowns. So go ahead and drop those old, buggy tactics and prepare your Helldivers 2 loadout for an Automaton assassination. Best weapon loadouts against Automatons in Helldivers 2 The following is the best loadout against Automatons in Helldivers 2. We’ll break down why each item is here and…

It’s no secret that Helldivers 2 has enjoyed a large amount of success since it was released in February. In fact, it ended up knocking Steam Deck off the top place on Steam, something that doesn’t happen too often. However, Valve’s handheld PC has, once again, reclaimed its title. As of right now, the Deck is back at the number one spot on the Top Sellers list, pushing Arrowhead Games’ shooter down to number two. According to the data, Helldivers 2 has been on the list for nine weeks, though a good chunk of that time…

The game-as-a-service model can all too easily feel to players as though the title they love has been twisted into some sort of machine designed to extract money from them. While some are free-to-play, many games that had an upfront cost at launch have been irrevocably altered and require players to invest in each battle pass lest they be left behind in terms of gear, lore, or general progression. With Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Game Studios did what many would believe publishers would never do: it built a monetization…

No dawdling here: Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Games should continue hiding and obfuscating key game information as its live-service production pipeline goes on. Do the Terminids now fly? Do you trust your own eyes, ears, and dead Helldivers? Of course not! And that’s how it should be. Let’s take a small step back first, though. The modern gaming media industry is positively inundated with meta-gaming and content strategizing: you can find a dozen expert (or “expert,” as it were) content creators discussing the ins…

The idea of platform exclusivity as a selling point has been feeling the heat of the limelight lately, and Helldivers 2 is slowly becoming the mascot of the discourse. A former PlayStation boss has chipped in on the discussion, saying the success of Helldivers 2 shows exclusivity is an “Achilles’ heel.” Former president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America Shawn Layden had a bit to say on console exclusivity during an interview last week. Speaking with GamesBeat, Layden covered hot industry topics including…

The Helldivers 2 community has grown incredibly fast thanks, as evidenced by weeks of developer Arrowhead Game Studios juggling player feedback and intense server demands. Every time a new major order appears, it’s quickly completed, and minor orders disappear without so much as a thought. The one part of the game the entire community can’t praise enough, though, is its Warbond battle pass system. Warbonds are the game’s futuristic version of real-life War Bonds. Helldivers earn them by completing missions and…

After pushing hard to liberate Tien Kwan from Automaton forces, Helldivers 2 players finally unlocked mechs in-game. These massive machines were highly anticipated because we all thought they’d revolutionize our efforts against the biggest and baddest enemies of Super Earth. Now they’re here, players can’t stop mocking them for how weak they are. Players discuss why mechs are so bad in Helldivers 2 A post on the Helldivers 2 Subreddit has, at the time of writing, over 800 comments, all discussing just how terrible mechs…

Though the first major update for Helldivers 2 focused mainly on weapon and Stratagem rebalancing, the player base has known for some time now that Arrowhead Studios is gearing up for the release of mechs and assorted vehicles. Now, out of the blue, some Helldivers have come across these mechs. More specifically, the ongoing push and pull between Super Earth and the opposing factions has now focused on the planet of Tien Kwan. If that name sounds familiar, that’s because this is where Super Earth’s mecha production…

It appears Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Games is preparing even more nerfs, but not for your favorite weapons — this time. No, according to a post on Discord, the Helldivers 2 team is planning to reduce the spawn rate and health pools of heavy enemies like the infamous Charger soon. The news recently came out of the official Helldivers 2 Discord channel. According to the community manager, who goes by Spitz on the channel, Arrowhead has listened to “concerns over the last few days regarding enemy spawns, enemy armor,…
