🌍 Overview *** INCOMING MESSAGE FROM HIGH COMMAND *** We have confirmed, with concrete proof and beyond any doubt, that the Automaton Collective stole our schematics for the Star of Peace. We cannot let them turn this defensive tool of peace into a destructive weapon of war. It's now up to you, our most elite and powerful force, to bring them to justice on their own turf. We have approved the deployment of new equipment for squads to aid in the swift elimination of the Automaton threat.

  • Push toward Cyberstan and end this insult to Managed Democracy. Helldivers, let this be the last time the Automatons steal from Super Earth. 📍 Patch Highlights Bastion Tank: A new tank vehicle is ready to roll over entrenched enemies! The Bastion Tank offers unrivaled firepower and defense on the battlefield. It will require your team to work together to hunt down the enemy! (2pm CET) Chinese VO has been added to Helldivers 2!
  • Arm yourself with the latest premium Warbond* Siegebreakers, loaded with a devastating hammer built for close-range persuasion and an upgrade to a Helldivers favorite, the LAS-16 Trident! March into battle in style with the new War Horse set available in the Superstore on February 10th! With a few exceptions, all victory poses and emotes are now interchangeable!
  • ⚖️ Balancing General changes overview Melee weapons and Armor passive with increased melee damage re-balance Intent is to make the Armor passive that increases melee damage less mandatory but still be useful to make melee weapons more effective. We increased all the melee weapons damage and decreased the modifiers on the armor passives that increase melee damage. Total damage with the melee armor passive will be higher or the same as before. Base melee attack also got a 50% damage increase. SMG and Pistol
