Tien Kwan

Shortly after introducing exosuits to Helldivers 2, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has now issued a new major order for players to chase after. Having dealt with Automatons to quite an extent in the previous major order, the latest one now tasks Helldivers with permanently quarantining Terminids out of an entire sector of the galaxy.

Sweet mother of Joel, Helldivers 2's Automatons have returned in force after being temporarily vanquished, and that means the new Major Order is to sort them out - again.

Helldivers 2 players have been issued a brand new Major Order, and it seems it's taking direct aim at all of the dedicated bug-squashing fans who aren't so enthusiastic about spilling oil from the deadly Automatons. 

With the current Major Order looking all but complete, Helldivers 2 players are attempting to rally their fellow soldiers to the fight on Mantes. The issue, though, is that plenty of people don't fancy the fight against the Automatons.

Players all across the known galaxy converge on certain planets under the name of spreading Managed Democracy in the game Through immersive and organic storytelling reminiscent of the enigmatic gamemaster known as Joel shapes the greater narrative of the game as players contend with hordes of bugs and bots. One way Arrowhead Game Studios directs story efforts is by issuing Major Orders. These missions direct the overall strategy and aims of the playerbase.

Don't back down, double down. The Helldivers 2 propaganda machine is spinning up once again after the horrible flying Terminid bugs debuted in the game, something its creative director dismissed as "propaganda from bug sympathizers" when players first reported it.

Helldivers 2 is getting its first post-launch premium battle pass (also known as a ‘Warbond’) on March 14 and its bringing some electrifying new hardware for players to use in their valiant effort to spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy.

Helldivers 2 players are confidently taunting Game Master Joel after taking six planets, defending two, and capturing two whole sectors in just a few days of hard-hitting, democracy-spreading action. Something that's sparking fear in others afraid of the retaliation the overlord will inevitably bring.

Helldivers 2 players really want to be able to experience the game's best mission with some added challenge.

presents players with an abundance of different tools to eliminate the deadly armies of the Terminids and Automatons and Arrowhead Studios is giving fans some insight into how those Stratagems are created. One of the core components of the popular co-op shooter is the ability to call down equipment and support from the skies, most of which take the form of explosive air strikes or precision missile launches. They're undoubtedly one of the most fun aspects of and director Johan Pilestedt wants everyone to know how the team creates them.

Helldivers 2 has a brand new Major Order focusing on quarantining the Terminid threat, but players will need to rapidly liberate four players to clear the objective.

There is no shortage of big bugs to tackle in Helldivers 2, not least the colossal Terminids known as Bile Titans, but if the latest fan theory is to be believed, a much bigger and more formidable foe is on the way.

The latest update for Helldivers 2 has arrived and makes big adjustments to the spawn rates of heavy Terminid enemies like charges and bile titans, making higher difficulties slightly less punishing for some players. Arrowhead Game Studios continues to tweak the overall experience of Helldivers 2, especially now that many of the server and login issues experienced during the game's launch window have passed. Updates continue to roll out often, and new content continues to arrive.

If you've ever been in the middle of playing Helldivers 2 and wondered how one of the pesky terminids managed to track you down when it should never have seen you, there's a reason for that – they can smell you. 

Helldivers 2 has been the surprise hit of 2024 so far, giving PS5 owners an exclusive just as the studio confirmed none of its tentpole franchises will be getting new installments until at least April 2025. The multiplayer game has willing recruits teaming up to fight in the name of Super Earth, and now you can look good doing it on regular Earth as Insert Coin has teamed up with Arrowhead to create a line of exclusive Helldivers 2 merch.

makes a point of recommending the use of firearms in the war for Super Earth but one player is going a completely different route. When there are countless Automatons and Terminids swarming the galaxy, it stands to reason that taking them out will require some heavy firepower either shot from orbit or through the barrel of a gun. Having said that, sometimes a dedicated Helldiver just needs to get down and dirty, trading in an Eagle Strafing Run for the butt of their rifle.

With mechs finally available for players to pilot, Helldivers 2 fans are already disappointed by the underwhelming launch of the EXO-45 exosuits within the game. The newest release from Arrowhead Game Studios has already seen massive success within just a month of its release, selling millions of units across its PC and PS5 versions. Arrowhead would report Helldivers 2 had sold 3 million units less than three weeks following its debut, becoming one of Steam's best-selling games. Now, a new addition to the game has left players conflicted.

Helldivers 2 doesn't have any melee weapons yet, but that hasn't stopped one democracy-spreader who's committed to punching every bug they come across.

Priority orders have come down from Super Earth high command (developer Arrowhead Game Studios), calling all available Helldivers to arms in response to the surprise, cowardly, and entirely predictable assault on the foundry world of Tien Kwan, located in the Theseus Sector. Until Liberty and Democracy are restored, production of the EXO-45 Patriot exosuit has been halted, effective immediately, in a masterful piece of marketing and propaganda from Arrowhead.

While today's top story remains the Liberation of Tien Kwan, Super Earth high command (developer Arrowhead) has revealed the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond, giving all loyal Helldivers a glimpse of the arsenal on the way to the forces of Democracy. Expect distribution to begin on 14th March in exchange for a lifetime of service and an appropriate amount of Super Credits.

With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth already out, the busy release season is pausing for just a short period before Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade launch later in the month. Here's what we're playing in the meantime.

Helldivers 2 players worked hard to unlock mechs, liberating the planet of Tien Kwan. They were clearly very eager, as they accomplished the task much faster than the devs anticipated. Now, players can call down the Exo-45 Patriot Exosuit into battle, although they aren't finding them as powerful as expected.

The success of Helldivers 2 continues unabated. Even yesterday, the third-person cooperative sci-fi shooter game nearly reached its historical peak of 450K concurrent online users on Steam. The user reception on Valve's store has meaningfully improved compared to launch, too, leaping from the original 67% 'Mixed' review rating to the current 81% 'Very Positive' review rating.

Man, y'all really like mechs. The long-awaited Helldivers 2 mechs hit the game earlier today following the liberation of planet Tien Kwan, and it seems the community's enthusiasm has outpaced developer expectations and server limitations once again. 

Roughly a day after Arrowhead Game Studios called on all Helldivers 2 players to help liberate Tien Kwan from the Automatons, the EX-45 Patriot Exosuit is now available. It’s worth noting that players had five days to save the planet and its exosuit manufacturing plant.

It's official: mechs are in Helldivers 2. This is after players successfully liberated Tien Kwan, the planet that devs tasked fans with saving in order to unlock a new Stratagem.

Helldivers 2 mechs are finally here, people. Just one day after galactic game master Joel added factory planet Tien Kwan to the war front in a surprise twist that delayed the mecha mayhem, hundreds of thousands of Helldivers have successfully liberated the joint and unlocked the new mech Stratagem for everyone. 

The Helldivers 2 community has liberated Tien Kwan just a day after it became available to play, unlocking the use of mechs in the process. But before you log to stomp on bugs and shoot up bots, there’s something you need to know first.

Helldivers 2's ongoing co-op campaign of galactic conquest has been garnering a lot of attention lately.

It looks like some Helldivers 2 players are accessing the hotly anticipated mechs early — and this time it may well be official.

The Helldivers 2 mechs can seemingly be found and operated in-game right now, despite the fact that their construction planet hasn't been liberated.

Developers Arrowhead said that Helldivers 2's mechs were "ready for deployment" a couple of days ago, but what they didn't tell us was how to unlock them. And in what I think is a rather refreshing live service twist, it's up to us honourable Helldivers to liberate the planet of Tien Kwan if we want those sweet, sweet mechs. Get me in there, chief.

Shortly after releasing a major balance update for Helldivers 2, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has now kicked off a new major order for its players. Tying in with the upcoming release of pilotable mechs, players have now been tasked with liberating the planet Tien Kwan in order to get production of the EX-45 Patriot Exosuit going.

Today, Arrowhead announced a new Warbond called Cutting Edge, which is coming on Thursday, March 14 to Helldivers 2. A Warbond is effectively the game's version of a Battle Pass, in case you didn't know.

Helldivers 2 has plenty of weapons in its armory for players to gun down robots and bugs with, but one thing that has been a constant request from the fanbase is the addition of mechs. Leaks from last month appeared to show off gameplay footage of mechs in action, and an official post from the Helldivers 2 Twitter account teased that they'd be "on the battlefield soon" and are in production in factories across the planet of Tien Kwan.

Helldivers 2 is getting its first new battle pass since launch on March 14, and it’s sure to come in handy with the upcoming mech invasion. Arrowhead Game Studios announced on the PlayStation Blog Thursday that the new “Warbond,” as the battle pass is called in Helldivers 2, will focus on electric and energy-based weaponry and “ultra-futuristic armor.”

The war continues in co-op sci-fi shooter Helldivers 2, and players have been informed that they must successfully defend a key planet in order to get their hands on new mechs. 

The upcoming addition of mechs is a source of significant excitement in , but getting them could require some extra effort in the Galactic War. As a feature first introduced in the original, exosuits provide a unique way to power up at the cost of mobility. For soldiers used to deploying on missions with light armor and outrunning enemies whenever possible, their inclusion in could represent a big shift in strategy.

Mechs are set to make their arrival in Helldivers 2 in the very near future, but there is still one small thing standing in their way. The mechs' production factories are under attack, it turns out, and it's going to be up to players to liberate them.

The Helldivers 2 galactic war has taken another turn, as it always promised to, this time seemingly locking the release of mechs behind the liberation of a planet.

It seems that we'll have to wait a while longer before we can expect mechs to be added to Helldivers 2, as developer Arrowhead Game Studios has declared the factory planet Tien Kwan to be under attack.
