This has kept players on their toes for updates at any time, but also kept retention and support for the game. The game is set to recieve a new Warbond every month as well, so it would seem that available Helldiving equipment will continue to evolve alongside new enemies and mission types.

boasts delightfully intricate gameplay systems, and people are still discovering not-so-hidden mechanics and features to exploit. Some features are relatively intuitive, found naturally by simply completing missions. In the chaos of Terminid and Automaton combat, however, Helldivers are hard-pressed simply to survive from one skirmish to another. In the pandemonium, many of the game’s unique mechanics hide in plain sight – in view but out of focus.

There's a conspiracy deep at the heart of , and the recent update only complicates the matter. announces in-game events via Major Orders, transmissions from the development team that direct players to complete certain types of missions on certain planets. Major Orders track the progress of players worldwide, allowing Helldivers everywhere to share a common goal, and promoting further unity among the people of Super Earth.

For those looking to collect as many Samples as possible in , paying attention to this number will make players miss out. Samples are a crucial part of as they allow Helldivers to level up every asset in their armory. These upgrades to Stratagems can drastically change how successful higher-tier missions are, which are the ideal content for most aspects of the game.

From fire tornadoes and meteor showers last week to new armour and weapons later this week, Arrowhead Game Studios’ accelerated post-launch plans for Helldivers 2 have been bearing fruit in some interesting ways. Most intriguing have been the developer’s ongoing live service storytelling efforts, which have now taken the form of flying bugs- but don’t let any of the Super Earth faithful hear you say that.

Helldivers 2 is continuing its strong reign by introducing yet another round of space bugs for us to deal with. Also, some of them seem to be flying. What's that all about Joel?!

Just as Helldivers 2 tweaked the spawn rates for the game’s super-armored Terminids, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has added a new threat — flying bugs. Arrowhead did not mention the Terminids with wings in the patch notes from Tuesday, but players on social media and forums reported spotting the creatures in-game. The new Terminids are called Shriekers, and are quite terrifying as they dive and attack.

Several players have insisted that they've encountered a new type of flying Terminid but in keeping with the game's satirical tone,Arrowhead Studios' CEO Johan Pilestedt believes it's all nonsense. In the weeks after the game's launch, the community has been hard and working trying to figure out exactly what could be causing the Terminids to spread so rapidly among the stars. Some are speculating that Super Earth itself could be creating the «aliens» but the game's director is trying to throw everyone off the scent.

Players in face repugnant Teminids and lethal Automatons, but the most dangerous enemy of all may come from within. Feared more than either enemy faction is the enigmatic player known as the «Sample hoarder.» These players can wreak havoc upon their compatriots through selfish and unnecessary behavior, more so than teammates who spam cluster bombs and orbital barrages on their comrades.

Although it may be many months away, players should mark October 26 in their calendars now. Historically, this day holds significance within the community, and developer Arrowhead Game Studios is likely to have something in store to celebrate it.

The managed democracy of Super Earth wants players to perceive that the Terminds are evil and disgusting arthropods in however, the government has obscured the actual truth behind the war. The game drops hints that humans have sown the seeds for the current conflict for nearly a century. While the reasons for war are varied, the driving force for the ongoing Terminid War is the fuel extracted from decomposing genetically modified bugs.
