Helldivers 2 Stealth Drops New Ship Upgrades — and Some of Them Sound Amazing
11.04.2024 - 12:57 / ign.com
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has stealth dropped new ship upgrades alongside the new Premium Warbond, Democratic Detonation.
Six new ship upgrades are now in the Playstation 5 and PC third-person shooter, one for each section of the ship module.
Let’s dig into the details here and offer some initial thoughts. 15% less spread on barrages may convince some players to give them another shot (they’re considered weak in the current meta because they’re not focused). Superior Packing Methodology may end up essential for players who use the Recoilless and Spear support weapons. And Enhanced Combustion is going to cause all sorts of chaos with the already buffed flamethrower. Circuit Expansion looks like it could be fun, too.
These new ship upgrades require the previous upgrade in each module to already be unlocked before you can buy them with samples, so only pliers who have mixed out their ship upgrades and have plenty of samples on hand will be able to test these out straight away. For everyone else, the grind continues.
Arrowhead has a habit of releasing new content for Helldivers 2 without telling players. It secretly dropped a number of new enemies into the game, letting players discover them for themselves. Now it’s done the same for ship upgrades. This one doesn’t come as much of a surprise, though, given Arrowhead teased new ship upgrades were on the way in the most lore friendly way possible after a bug spilled the beans.

Helldivers 2 has become one of the surprise hits of 2024 since launching in February, topping the charts on Steam and reportedly selling around three million copies. According to at least one analyst, it's still growing. Check out IGN's Helldivers 2 review to find out why it's going down so well.

Silent Hill 2 Remake “Release Date and Platforms” To be Revealed in the Near Future
When are we finally going to get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake? The game is widely expected to launch sometime in 2024, but PR from Konami has been spotty at best. We got a somewhat-questionable trailer back in February (that even developer Bloober Team criticized as not representative of the final game) and as we head deeper into the year, there’s still a lot to be nailed down. The game’s been rated by the ESRB and there are rumors it may pop up at a PlayStation Showcase next month, but Konami themselves have remained silent.
