Helldivers 2 is honoring fallen players during the battle for Malevelon Creek by issuing free capes to all players and marking April 3 as a special in-game holiday. After launching in February, Helldivers 2 has become a massive success for both Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios, knocking over many sales milestones and achieving player population numbers despite numerous issues through the first few weeks of the game's release. While the game offers plenty of emergent and dynamic moments through gameplay, part of the appeal is the constant flow of content and activities, which keeps the game feeling fresh.
In fact, Major Orders are issued numerous times per week, typically challenging the player base to defend or liberate certain planets of zones on the map from enemy forces. While the community typically bands together to try and earn rewards for completing the mission, these Major Orders create a dynamic push and pull within Helldivers 2's universe, constantly altering the map's layout and available planets. However, not all Major Orders have been a big success for players, with certain planets in Helldivers 2 becoming infamous within the community including Malevelon Creek, a location that most have called «Robot Vietnam» for its dense jungles and heavy firefights against the Automaton faction.
Considering the intense fighting that has taken place at Malevelon Creek since the launch of Helldivers 2 and the amount of players that have already fallen there, Arrowhead Game Studios, under the guise of the President of Super Earth, issued an announcement for all fans. Going forward, Helldivers 2 is recognizing April 3 as Malevelon Creek Memorial Day to commemorate all of the Helldivers that have perished on the planet.
As part of the announcement, all Helldivers 2 players are being gifted free content through a new cape called the Fallen Hero's Vengeance. The cape itself features all standard level stats, with Armor Rating, Speed, and Stamina Regen all set to 100, while unfortunately not featuring any sort of passive armor ability like other Helldivers 2 armor sets. The cape itself features a black upper half, white at the bottom, with red accents and a big skull in the middle. The item has started to roll out on April 3 and should arrive throughout the day for all players.
Malevelon Creek is a planet that has consistently been at the forefront of the Automaton struggle, though recently, many have viewed those fighting there as having been a major detriment to being able to finish a Major Order that came down. In an effort to liberate a planet known as Tibit, the community seemingly divided on how best to access the planet, causing a split between Malevelon Creek and a neighboring planet called Ubanea. The

A creative Helldivers 2 player has produced a cool concept that would massively improve the game's Exosuit Mech Stratagem. The Exosuit Mechs in Helldivers 2 haven't fully lived up to their early promise, but with these changes, would be a force to be reckoned with in the Galactic War against the Terminids and Automatons.
Helldivers 2 players are asking Arrowhead to make the Super Earth flag a support stratagem that boosts the morale of nearby allies. Stratagems are the pinnacles of character loadouts in Helldivers 2, with which players can turn the tides in their favor.

One Helldivers 2 player shared their neat ideas for new planetary hazards that could be added to the top-down shooter in the future. In a recent update, Helldivers 2 has introduced two new planetary hazards, blizzards and sandstorms, that have their own effects. Blizzards reduce the player's mobility and make it almost impossible to see enemy units. Sandstorms, on the other hand, are paired with intense heat that increases stamina drain.
may be a game about shooting Bugs and Bots with an assortment of deadly firearms but players hoping to charge into the fray with nothing but a melee weapon shouldn't give up hope just yet. Ever since the incredibly popular sequel in early 2024, the community has begged Arrowhead Studios to include some kind of sword as an unlockable weapon and since the studio hasn't done so yet, the demands have just grown louder. Fortunately, those diehard saber enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the developers are still looking into the idea.

There's only good news in the world of Helldivers 2 today following the successful completion of Operation Swift Disassembly, the recent Major Order to crush the Automatons in Arrowhead's popular multiplayer game.

Helldivers 2 no longer cleans up the blood on armor after missions, and players are enjoying this change not mentioned in the patch notes. For the unaware, the recent Helldivers 2 update has shadow-dropped some new content, including a charger meter feature for the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon.

Two months after the launch of Helldivers 2, one of its enemy factions, the Automatons, has been wiped out.
