Helldivers 2's new bad weather patch quietly adds huge AT-AT-like deathbots
02.04.2024 - 22:01 / eurogamer.net
It's update day for Helldivers 2, and — as detailed in its patch notes — the big new addition is terrible, awful weather befitting of battling across planetary hellscapes. However — as not detailed in its patch notes — it's sneakily added a huge AT-AT-like robot enemy too.
Starting with the stuff developer Arrowhead Game Studios isn't being shy about, today's Helldivers 2 patch — officially known as update 01.000.200 — introduces a couple of new weather hazards in the form of blizzards and sandstorms. And no, there's not much to say about these other than, maybe, good luck out there.
Angry planetary weather arrives alongside a level cap increase from 50 to 150, and there's an extensive bit of gameplay balancing too. This touches on everything from mission structure — Destroy Command Bunkers now has more objectives because it was «too easy» previously, for instance — to weapon tweaks and enemy balancing, and you'll find full patch notes here.

As is Arrowhead's deliciously sneaky way when it comes to Helldivers 2, players — as documented over on the game's subreddit — are reporting increasing sightings of an unheralded new threat.
This new Helldivers 2 Automaton, apparently known as a Factory Strider, is said to be armed with a cannon and laser mini-guns, and can spawn Devastators beneath it. «It is one heavy boy with no easy to find vents», said CappedPluto. Sethoman, addressing the beefiness of this beefiest of foes, added, «The damn thing took a rail orbital to the face without losing stride. It's one tough motherf*cker AND IT SPAWNS AT EXTRACTION.»
But that's not everything slipped into Helldivers 2's latest update. Following the addition of winged bugs last month, players are now reporting flying Automaton gunships in the skies. «They are heavily armored flying rocket Devastators with a regular Devastator strapped to the other side,» wrote Jackpkmn. «They fire salvos of missiles and rapid fire lasers otherwise.»
So there you go; the fight for democracy wages on, and the robots are getting serious.

Fallout: New Vegas endures because of big clunky story swings
Fallout: New Vegas has endured in the cultural zeitgeist in a way that few other games have. Even within the Fallout fandom, it’s earned a prized position as a true classic of the RPG genre. That love is still reflected today, in goofy memes and fan art and enduring debates over which endgame is the right one. Even though the game has aged terribly in some respects — characters look rough, and not just from living in the apocalypse — it still persists as one of the high points of the Fallout franchise. The new Fallout TV series is set to premiere on Amazon, so there’s seldom been a better time to revisit New Vegas or play it for the first time.

The future of is constantly in flux, as that's just the nature of the game's ongoing Galactic War, but there's the possibility of an incredibly unexpected crossover in the future. Arrowhead Game Studios' co-op shooter is off to a blistering start with many more players than projected, and it firmly being in the realm of live-service makes crossovers with other series and franchises a distinct possibility. Common requests for such collaborations include, which already features the Helldiver-like ODST units, and, perhaps the game's most blatant inspiration.

Netflix’s Ripley haunts a beloved movie like a shadow
Just because a movie is iconic and beloved doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be remade, particularly if it was itself based on another work in the first place. That’s as true of the 1999 thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley as it would be of anything else. Anthony Minghella took sweeping liberties in his adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel — itself a genre-defining classic — about a young conman who first infiltrates and then cannibalizes the life of a rich American playboy whiling away a carefree existence on the Italian coast. There’s room for another take to access different parts of Highsmith’s book than Minghella did, especially in the more expansive medium of an eight-part miniseries.
