Helldivers

Since its release in early February 2024, Helldivers 2 has been slowly increasing the number of weapons and Stratagems available for players to utilize.

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.

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.
