Howdy, Helldivers! Have you ever wanted to be a space cowboy, enforcing the fair laws of Super Earth on the edges of our galaxy, protecting our most remote colonies from undemocratic threats? Then step up, pardner, and claim your sheriff’s star with the new premium Warbond*: Borderline Justice!

We’re going to the Wild West with the weapons this time. First up, let’s take a gander at the new R-6 Deadeye lever-action hunting rifle. You can look forward to killin’ time bullseying bugs and rounding up squids and looking cool while you do it.

But a lawman is nothing without his trusty sidearm. And instead of individual shots, the LAS-58 Talon “revolver” secondary is energy-based, meaning a slow and steady hand can keep on shooting without overheating. But if you need to bring the kind of heat that can’t be measured by degrees, the Talon can do it.

Another classic cowboy loadout item is the TED-63 Dynamite that comes with a variable timer and leaves an explosion that’s sure to straighten the curves, flatten the hills, and take down any roaming patrols among the willows.

Do you ever get a hankering to rise up above the herd and get a bird’s eye on the action? Could be that the LIFT-860 Hover Pack is just what you’re looking for–when the joint starts jumping, you can rise and hover for a little while and still aim or use ADS.

Helldivers are made out of muscle and blood and that’s why we have to keep you armored up. The GS-17 Frontier Marshal is a regulation standard medium Helldiver set, but it still manages to conjure up the look of hard living on the galactic frontier, hunting Bile Titans for sport.

But if you want to look less like a running gun and more like the sheriff of Vernen Wells, I might suggest the GS-66 Lawmaker heavy armor, complete with cowboy holster and bandolier. Both sets of armor look great with either the Reaper of Bounties cape or the Way of the Bandolier cape.

No matter which look you choose, you’ll be mighty good with the Gunslinger armor passive, which gives your secondary increased reload speed, increased draw/holster speed, and reduced recoil.

With Borderline Justice, you’ll also unlock a new player title, Super Sheriff, to let everyone know you’re their huckleberry–the galactic border colonies can rest a little easier on your watch. We’re also providing player cards that match each cape, and you’ll also get a brand new booster: Sample Extricator! When you put down a big enemy, there’s a small chance it’ll drop a sample to toss in your saddlebags.

Cowboy hats might be outlawed by the Helldiver uniform code, but you can still say your howdies and farewells with the Tip Hat emote.

If all that doesn’t light your fires, then I don’t know what will. Put the hammer down, divers, and give ‘em hell when Borderline Justice arrives on March 20th!

*Requires base game, paid purchase of Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.

Freedoms Greetings Helldivers, Release Captain Carlberg here with the latest and greatest from Super Earth. For this update we also have a special message from High Command.
Lets dive in

Overview

Hello everyone!
It’s been an “interesting” week with a patch that had a few unexpected slip-ups. After testing and balancing, the wrong versions of some files for our new Warbond items were shipped, which wasn’t part of the plan. Misaligned scopes also made an unwelcome return, albeit in a new form - some bugs really are persistent, aren’t they? (Silently stares off into the distance…)
So, we even double-checked the scale of the LAS-16 Sickle, just to be sure.
On to the key points for this patch:

• The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle was meant to start with light armor penetration and build up to medium as more heat built up, but it launched with medium armor penetration right away, even with zero heat.

• The GP-31 Ultimatum also gained extra ammo from the previously-a-bug-but-now-a-feature Siege Ready armor passive and we feel that this specific combination is too strong.
  We’re huge fans of big booms booming big (to quote our fabulous Design Director) so we didn’t want to make the weapon less satisfying to use - we still want it to bring democratic tears to your eyes every time you use it, like it does for us. However, we will be addressing how easy it is to access extra ammunition for it, ensuring it requires a bit more effort to use it to the full effect.

It’s not our intent to release Warbond items that need immediate balancing, and we understand that any changes we make can evoke strong feelings. We want to assure you that we’re actively listening to your feedback and, as with any of our previous updates, we’ll keep monitoring the situation closely. Your input is invaluable, so please continue to share your thoughts on these changes. We’re always open to making further adjustments if needed!
Balancing
Primary Weapons
LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle
We’ve rebalanced the weapon to make the risk/reward dynamic more impactful. The goal is to ensure it feels like a truly powerful weapon while properly balancing the self-damage mechanics to reflect its high-risk nature. In the current live version, we felt it lacked both the punch and the level of risk we wanted and we didn’t feel it really lived up to our intent.

OLD

• 0-25% heat: AP3 55 damage - Deals 0 damage/second to players
  
• 26-90% heat: AP3 55 damage - Deals 10 damage/second to players
  
• +91% heat: AP3 55 damage - Deals 50 damage/second to players + fire status effect

NEW

• 0-25% heat: AP2 55 damage - Deals 0 damage/second to players
  
• 26-50% heat: AP3 55 damage - Deals 10 damage/second to players
  
• 51-90% heat: AP3 70 damage - Deals 20 damage/second to players
  
• +91% heat: AP4 70 damage - Deals 50 damage/second to players + fire status effect

Magazines

• Starting magazines increased from 1 to 2
  
• Spare magazines increased from 2 to 3

Sidearms
GP-31 Ultimatum
We have seen a lot of mixed player feedback for this weapon and how certain players feel it trivializes some of the harder content whilst others feel it plays just fine and is a great addition to the game. We have carefully opted for an approach where we’d like to reduce the ease of access to additional ammunition while maintaining the weapon’s core identity as a powerhouse. This means players will need to put in more effort and strategy to maximize its effectiveness at the cost of some armor and booster synergy for this specific weapon.
We will continue to monitor these changes so please keep providing us more feedback!

• The GP-31 Ultimatum is no longer influenced by the Hellpod Optimization Booster or the Siege Ready armor passive

Fixes
Resolved Top Priority issues:

• Fixed a bug where the scope aim-center was misaligned with the projectile's fire trajectory, affecting all weapons but most noticeable when aiming down sights (ADS)

Crash Fixes, Hangs and Soft-locks:

• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when joining someone who is swapping weapons
  
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when hot joining a mission with the SEAF artillery objective present on the planet
  
• Fixed a crash when subtitles were shown and the language was changed
  
• Fixed a crash when shutting down the game while in a cutscene with the Democracy Space Station
  
• Fixed a crash when changing language during a mission
  
• Fixed a crash related to switching languages
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur for other players after a player disconnects from the session
  
• Fixed a crash caused by emoting right after dropping a support weapon

Weapons and Stratagems

• Fixed an issue where you could accidentally arm the B-100 Portable Hellbomb backpack when entering the FRV

Miscellaneous Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the level generation where some objective terminals could become non-interactable
  
• Fixed an issue with the Integrated Explosives armor passive sometimes not triggering

May Liberty guide your aim Helldivers

Let’s be honest, Helldivers: Super Earth is worth it. No matter what “it” is. All Helldivers share this same belief, and fanatical loyalty is expected from all citizens of Super Earth. But the Helldivers need to demonstrate their allegiance. They need to look like the democratic disciples they are inside, and the only way we know to properly show it off is with the gear from our next Warbond*: Servants of Freedom.

So what does true devotion to Democracy look like?

Hellbombs. It looks like Hellbombs. They really send a message: liberation is big, loud, and happening all around you. It gets the spirit of democracy soaring, and gets a lot of other things soaring, too, like buildings. Bile Titans. Automaton industrial sites. Now, imagine you’ve got that kind of freedom strapped to your back. That’s the B-100 Portable Hellbomb, a beacon of democratic truth in a convenient backpack format, which can be easily activated by you or a helpful teammate. Just be sure to drop the pack and clear the area once it's active, because the B-100’s got a 10 second countdown that can’t be canceled.

How do you make the Sickle do more? Overclock it and bring some heat. The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle is pure agony meets ecstasy as it starts to burn the wielder as well as everything in its path. Shoot through the pain, Helldiver.

To help you spread liberty around, you could equip the GP-20 Ultimatum–a front-loading grenade pistol for your secondary slot. The Ultimatum packs a punch like a grenade launcher on steroids, designed for closer range use. But handle it with care, or you might accidentally liberate yourself along with the enemy.

There’s a new kind of throwable in Servants of Freedom, too. The G-50 Seeker is a small drone that follows you and explodes near enemies when detected. The Seeker can also target pinged enemies, like sending it on a little crusade.

The IE-3 Martyr and the IE-12 Righteous medium armors have robe and cloak-inspired details and come equipped with the Integrated Explosives passive, which gives every Helldiver protection against becoming Voteless: upon death, your corpse will detonate and take out the enemies around you. Nobody’s going to control your mind, soldier.

These armors also have helmets with stoic faces to stare down the onslaught without fear. Show no weakness, Helldiver. Then drape yourself in symbolic reminders of your enlistment oath by pairing these sets with the Fre Liberam and Per Democrasum capes.

For the full effect, you can also equip the Servant of Freedom player title and equip the Raise Weapon cheer and look like a real follower of democratic values.

Become one of Super Earth’s most faithful fighters and show the squad your fervor for Managed Democracy with the Servants of Freedom Warbond!

Backpacks
AX/TX-13 “Guard Dog” Dog Breath

• Fixed Illuminate spawner ship shields not taking impact grenade damage
  
• Fixed an issue with collision gaps inside the Illuminate spawner ship, preventing grenades thrown in close proximity to the door from destroying the ships

• Fixed an issue where the chat history was cleared when going to a mission and returning from it

Weapons and Stratagems

Enemies

• Fixed a small visual bug with the Stalker’s tongue (you don’t want to know what it took to fix it)
  
• Fixed an issue where enemies wouldn’t react to missed shots from projectiles or melee attacks near them

Miscellaneous Fixes

• Fixed an issue where clients would trigger the wrong audio when waiting for the host to join the loadout

• Fixed the floating head syndrome affecting Helldivers donning the AC-2 Obedient armor while using certain helmets

We’re here to talk to you about our crossover with Killzone, which added new premium items to the Superstore.

As this was our first crossover offering, we’ve been listening to the response, and the feedback we’ve received from our community surveys is that crossover content is really high up on your wishlists.

At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items and we will revisit this.

Many of you were also concerned that items wouldn’t be in rotation for long enough, and there was a bit of concern around how these items exist outside of our usual Warbond releases, which are always themed in our own universe.

Because of all this, in partnership with our friends at Guerrilla (and as we’re in the season of holiday cheer), we’ve decided to offer a gift to all players.

Firstly, we are gifting to everyone the planned second wave of the Helldivers x Killzone collaboration items today, free of charge. The distribution of those items will begin shortly, in two waves.

As such we're also going to extend the duration of the items currently in the Superstore from 5 days to 10 days so that you have a chance to get hold of it and reduce the risk of missing out.

We’re also investigating solutions for how we can bring these items back permanently in the future.

The W.A.S.P. stratagem will be available for you all to unlock via a major order shortly.

We hope you have a great holiday period, and continue to enjoy spreading managed democracy in Omens of Tyranny!

Merry Christmas,
Arrowhead Game Studios & Guerrilla Games

Greetings, Helldivers!

We hope you’re having an awesome time with Omens of Tyranny and are busy maintaining sweet liberty in a star system near you by offering the undemocratic Illuminate hordes another way of life: death.

To celebrate your heroics in liberating the Voteless from their tortured existence, we’re bringing to the table our first official crossover - and it’s a super cool one.

We decided a long time ago to do crossovers only if and when they make perfect sense for the game. So in that spirit, we’re hyped to announce our very first crossover: Killzone 2.



Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 belongs to a new tier of special Premium content reserved for collaborations and other uniquely-themed work. Our plan is to offer you something distinct and special.

High Command informs us that beyond the Superstore content, there’s also an additional Killzone 2 reward for all Helldivers depending on your success in the Galactic War…

Meanwhile, on the subject of the Superstore: in the interests of relentless democracy, we regularly run surveys on discord and reddit. Based on your feedback, we feel we can improve how the Superstore currently works.

Right now, many of you feel the items are in rotation for too short a time, and that you sometimes miss out on that killer look you had your eyes on. At the same time, the more things we add to the store the longer it takes to come back into rotation.

As we’re not quite ready to roll out a full redesign, we’re going to temporarily test longer rotations with Killzone, which will stick around for 5 days per page instead (there will be two pages of items to explore).

After this, the page rotation will go back to its usual cadence and we will be asking for your feedback on our test. If you think this is too short, or you want us to look into bringing items back for longer periods, we’ll ask again in future surveys.

Have fun, turn back those Illuminate incursions and give ‘em hell, ‘divers!

PS. Here’s a peek at part one, which is out now! The second part will be landing in the Superstore on December 23.

Citizens of Super Earth! Do not fear the resurgence of Illuminate scum–the Helldivers will be ready to fight them in the streets, at your doorsteps, and on the city borders and boundaries! The Ministry of Defense is authorizing the sale and distribution of the Urban Legends Premium Warbond to all Helldivers, available starting now!

You’ve been fighting in swamps, deserts, and frozen wastelands with our finest weapons. But what kind of kit do you need to make a dent in the invading forces when it comes to your own streets?

Fighting in colonies means narrow streets and close encounters, so we’re introducing our first melee secondary weapon with the SQC-19 Stun Lance. This extra-large poker will give you good range and pairs perfectly with the SH-51 Directional Shield stratagem.

We think you’re going to appreciate some stationary firepower–something you can call down into a city center to put a dent in those Illuminate Harvesters. The E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement will allow you to liberate even the most heavily armored of enemies using the most democratic of firepower.

But what if you’re facing down a horde of Voteless and the Anti-Tank just won’t take out enough of them at once? I know what I’m going to call down: the A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry. A stationary, high-powered flamethrower turret. Be careful with this one, though, Helldiver–if the red ammo canister takes too much fire, the whole sentry will go up in flames, taking anyone nearby with it.

While you’re busy holding off the onslaught with the shield and lance, you can get some additional help from the new Armed Resupply Pods booster, which upgrades your resupply pods with a tiny top-mounted turret to fend off stragglers while you make your way to the ammo drop. Just remember to keep your head down on approach!

Turn yourself into an immovable object for the enemy with the SR-18 Roadblock heavy armor. With a crested, Spartan-style helmet and imposing pauldrons to bulk up your shoulders, you’re sure to look the part.

But if you’re feeling like you need an agile light armor to move fast in the streets, there’s also the SR-24 Street Scout that’s giving some S.E.A.F trooper vibes. Both of these armors feature the Siege Ready passive, which increases your primary weapon reload speed by a whopping 30% and your primary ammo capacity by 20%!

Urban Legends has two capes with a gray and yellow color scheme that looks great with either armor set: the Greatcloak of Rebar Resolve with an extra large skull design, and the sleek, asymmetrical Holder of the Yellow Line cape.

The Illuminate threaten our colonies with slavery and death. We have chosen our words carefully–perhaps they should have done the same. The "This is Democracy" emote will show those squids that Super Earth will not be conquered.

There are also coordinating player cards for Rebar Resolve and Holder of the Yellow Line, as well a new set of urban camouflage patterns, Concrete Jungle, for your hellpods, shuttle, exosuit, and the brand new FRV which will be available soon! And like our previous Warbonds, we’re including plenty of Super Credits to unlock.

The citizens of Super Earth’s colonies will rest a little easier knowing you’re armed with the latest from the Ministry of Defense. Gear up, Helldivers, and make the streets safe again with Urban Legends–available now!

The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed.

These are dark times for freedom loving citizens everywhere. Our galaxy grows cold from the embrace of old enemies returning and darkens with the threat of new horrors emerging.

We must now stand together in Super Earth's light and oppose these sinister tidings.
These Omens of Tyranny

The Illuminate Return
Missing for almost a century, the Illuminate will challenge our recruits more than the other factions they have faced. They are advanced, highly-intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.

At the end of the First Galactic War, the Helldivers worked together to eradicate the Illuminate. We believed we were successful, and for nearly 100 years, we have lived in relative peace, holding the Terminid and Automaton threats at bay. Thanks to our continued recruitment and training of new Helldivers, we have held these two fronts with complete, unmitigated success.

But now the Illuminate have emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Even though we don’t know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.

The Illuminate are spreading through mind control, abducting citizens of weaker dedication to democratic ideals and brainwashing them for a dark purpose which is still yet unknown to us. These mind-controlled citizens have been twisted and corrupted into a menace we call The Voteless–Super Earth’s own people turned against the principles of Democracy and fair elections, losing their ability to vote entirely.

The intentions behind the Illuminate invasion are still unclear. Right now, they remain as smaller bands of insurgents, staging attacks, building mysterious structures, and abducting citizens before disappearing again.

It’s up to us to stop them from getting their totalitarian tentacles any deeper into Super Earth’s domain.

The Fight at Our Doorstep
Omens of Tyranny is bringing the fight into the streets, with new mission areas inside Super Earth’s many colonies.

Our colonies are being ravaged by these invaders, turning our once bright and sunny streets filled with smiling citizens into dark ruins, overrun by Voteless and Illuminate. Arm yourselves with your trusted tools of destruction and rid our colonies of this scum.

But it won’t be easy. Gone are the wide-open spaces that Helldivers are accustomed to fighting in. Cities mean closer quarters, dark alleys, and forked paths where one wrong turn means meeting a horde of Voteless to liberate. You’ll need your best and brightest squad to navigate them carefully.

Go Easy on the Gun, Chief
With all these new developments, there won't be time to take driver's ed. courses, Helldiver. A Fast Recon Vehicle “FRV” will now appear in the colonies, ready to plow through the Illuminate at high speed.

Keep following the Major Orders issued by Super Earth High Command and you will get the keys to your very own FRV–a brand new, top-of-the-line manual transmission reconnaissance and combat vehicle. The whole squad can ride together, and your passengers can even lean out of the windows to lay down some suppressive fire as you shift gears and speed to your next destination. Just one question left: Who's driving?

There’s more to discover yet, and we can’t wait to get you back into the fight.

The newest major update for HELLDIVERS 2, Omens of Tyranny, featuring the return of the Illuminate faction, is now live! High Command has ordered all Helldivers to report to their Super Destroyers – it’s time to give these squids hell.

Release Captain Carlberg here together with Galactic Communications Specialist Baskin and Vice Admiral Ayre bringing you the latest and greatest from Super Earth Command.
We have a lot to cover so lets dive straight in.

Overview

• Reconnect to your last match!
  
• Balance changes
  
• Crash Fixes
  
• Social Menu fixes
  
• Miscellaneous fixes

Helldivers, the Omens of Tyranny have arrived!
The Illuminate are back, and with them, a new wave of terror threatens our democracy. After nearly a century of relative peace, these technologically advanced enemies have returned.
The Illuminate are conducting mysterious invasions across the galaxy, seizing our colonies and converting our citizens. These staging attacks and Illuminate disappearances are too precise and elusive to suggest a full-scale planetary conquest, but their methods and intentions remain a dire enigma.

A new faction
Missing for almost a century, the Illuminate will challenge our recruits more than the other factions they have faced. They are advanced, highly-intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.

The Illuminate have seemingly emerged from the singularity created by the destruction of Meridia. Even though we don’t know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.

New colony missions
Omens of Tyranny is bringing the fight into the streets, with new mission areas inside Super Earth’s many colonies.

But it won’t be easy. Gone are the wide open spaces that Helldivers are accustomed to fighting in. Cities mean closer quarters, dark alleys, and forked paths where one wrong turn means meeting a horde of Voteless to liberate.

New FRV vehicle
With all these new developments, there won't be time to take driver's ed. courses, Helldiver. A Fast Recon Vehicle “FRV” will now appear in the colonies, ready to plow through the Illuminate at high speed.

Exploding Barrels

• The barrels have been upgraded with a more potent fuel mixture and now come with additional incendiary compounds to increase fuel efficiency. However, upon detonation they now leave a trail of fire behind, becoming more hazardous

• Flak projectiles and bombs work the same as before
  
• Cluster munition bombs have a short arming time
  
• Cluster munition bombs do not have detonation timers

EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit and EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit
Both exosuits have been rebalanced to improve durability and extend combat effectiveness, while preserving a sense of vulnerability as they now gradually break down from sustained damage. The intention is to improve the experience with Exosuits by adding more gameplay depth

• Main health pool increased from 600 to 850
  
• Cockpit health pool increased from 450 to 500
  
• Cockpit armor increased from 2 to 3
  
• Arm health pool increased from 250 to 350

• Added a brief delay before rockets are launched
  
• Improved rocket launch anticipation and readability with new thruster visual effects
  
• The rockets on the side of the Reinforced Scout Strider should now explode with more consistency when shot by players

Fixes

Resolved Top Priority issues:

• Resolved an issue where, under heavy server load, some players did not immediately receive their Super Credit purchases after payment
  
• Players are unable to shoot properly while in the air using a jetpack
  
• Fixed an issue where bug breaches would not spawn any bugs when carrying a larva backpack

• New thruster visual effects improve the anticipation and clarity of rocket launches
  
• The side rockets of the Reinforced Scout Strider now explode more reliably when hit by players

• Excessive ragdolling can cause a feeling of helplessness and frustration
  
• The Helldiver will now remain prone after ragdolling instead of automatically standing up.
  
• Fire status effects also now wear off faster when ragdolling
  
• This will provide better protection and survivability in the prone position by reducing vulnerability to ranged attacks, explosions, fire and additional ragdoll effects. It will also give players control of their avatar sooner, allowing them to decide whether to stand, run, crawl, use a stim, or take other actions without waiting for the avatar to stand automatically.
  
• We are continuing to monitor ragdolling issues and exploring potential adjustments. We welcome your feedback on these changes and their impact on gameplay!

Crash Fixes and Soft-locks:

• Fixed a crash that could occur when returning to ship while a lot of explosions were going off
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when a player hot-joined at the end of an ongoing mission, stayed in the loadout screen until the mission was completed, booted from the menu and then transferred to the host's ship.

• Fixed a rare crash that could occur shortly after joining a new game
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur during drop-in after hot-joining a game in progress
  
• Fixed a crash for clients when joining as a party that occurred at the loadout menu

Social Issues

• Resolved an issue where players could attempt to join AFK friends that were incorrectly displayed as "in-ship" when they were on the splash screen, causing errors like "Unable to join the lobby, timeout"
  
• Fixed an issue that was leading to the social menu and lobby system to not work properly after long periods of being AFK
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented the social menu from displaying your friends' updated nicknames
  
• Fixed an issue where Helldivers 2 friend code features were missing when crossplay was disabled
  
• Resolved an issue where users with a large number of in-game friends couldn't see some of their friends' in-game status properly, preventing them from being able to invite or join their friends
  
• Removed the ability for players to use hex codes in usernames, which was exploited to impersonate developers and crash other players' clients

Weapons and Stratagems

• Exosuits now instantly ejects Helldivers when they’ve been fully submerged in water
  
• Binding Stratagem inputs to other buttons no longer causes terminal interactions to be canceled
  
• Fixed an issue with Tesla tower attacks knocking down Helldivers using the Electrical Conduit armor passive
  
• Helldivers will no longer take fall damage when the LIFT-850 Jump Pack engages its landing thrusters
  
• Fixed an issue where Helldivers mounting the E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement would instantly die when the E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement was destroyed
  
• Fixed an issue where Helldivers were able to shoot from their currently equipped weapon during the assisted reload

Missions

• Stims are no longer interrupted after the healing audio is triggered
  
• The Democracy Space Station Menu now displays the contribution amounts accurately

• The Abandon Mission With Squad option is now hidden when playing alone
  
• The session invite sound will no longer play when receiving an invite from a blocked player
  
• Fixed a rendering issue on bright surfaces where they would sometimes flicker when HDR was enabled

• Minor improvements to the HUD when entering/exiting Exosuits
  
• Minor improvements to heat-based weapons UI
  
• Resolved an issue that caused a softlock when attempting to exit the PSN link screen while in the loadout selection menu
