Helldivers 2released to critical and commercial success and scooped several awards in its release year, as well as being a shoo-in for Game of the Year 2024. The shooter recently received a wave of review-bombing, butHelldivers 2players banded together to perform a reverse review-bombto restore its positive rating on the PC platform Steam. There’s nothing Helldivers cannot achieve in the name of democracy.
Preceding the release ofHelldivers 2’s new premium Warbond Force of Law, the developer has deployed a new update to the shooter, and noted patch 01.003.101’s notes over onDiscord. The update includes a change to the Ministry of Humanity’s Combat Mobility Safety Guidelines, which now allows Helldivers to self-administer stims while mid-dive. Another highlight of the patch involves the game’s enemies, who will no longer be able to automatically detect players when they’re near Terminid spawners. Additionally, the update included several fixes to weapons and stratagems, crashes, and specific missions, such as the “Take Down Overship” objective.
Helldivers 2players were grateful for the free rewardsafter winning the Battle of Super Earth event, and the community is also praising the latest patch. Some were shocked to see Leviathan’s damage being reduced from a whopping 1500 to 350, designed to ensure Helldivers are still taken out on direct impact, alongside preventing the Exosuits' and FRVs' instant downfall.
The update’s arrival has perfectly coincided with an exciting new purchase on players’ radars, since fans can grab their very ownHelldivers 2replica helmets. Courtesy of Arrowhead’s partnership with Dark Horse Comics, the polyresin helmets are based on three in-game armor sets, and they’re currently up for pre-order. Expected to release in Q2 2026, Helldivers will soon be able to experience future updates’ exciting additions from the comfort of their war-torn battle helmets.
