The worst nightmare of all those who fight for Managed Democracy has been made a grim reality.

Despite the valiant efforts of our Helldivers to push back the fleet, the Illuminate have reached Super Earth. Now they are swarming our cities, terrorizing citizens, and destroying our infrastructure. It’s time to rise up and take arms and fight for the precious foundations
and soil of Democracy manifest. Helldivers, return to our planet and defend what is rightfully ours.

SUPER EARTH… OUR HOME
The urban sprawl of Super Earth is the site of the conflict. Fight among the towering skyscrapers and crowded streets of our home turf as the Illuminate rain down destruction all around you.

Inside the city biomes, you will tackle operations and work to liberate cities together, having a significant impact on planetary campaigns.

REPEL THE INVASION
The Helldivers are tasked with a new objective: to repel the Illuminate invasion by gaining ground over the squids as they fight to control areas where the fleet is landing. It won’t be a walk in the park, divers. Like a game of intergalactic tug-of-war, you will struggle against the incoming forces, gaining and losing control quickly.

ARM THE CANNONS
Even in the face of such danger, we are not helpless, and all is not lost. The might of Super Earth’s arsenal lies hidden beneath our peaceful, democratic streets. With your help, we must activate our Planetary Defense Cannons and take down the Illuminate fleet in a grand show of power.

CALL FOR BACKUP
It’s all hands on deck as you encounter SEAF troops who will help join the fight to defend our Freedom. These small squads will fight enemies on their own, or they can be ordered to follow Helldivers and provide temporary backup as you navigate toward objectives. Salute and lead them on the path to victory, divers!

PROTECT CITIZENS
However, you must also be aware of the many civilians still roaming the streets, fearing for their lives. They may be panicked, Helldivers, but it is your sworn duty to keep them safe and they look to you as the ultimate protectors of liberty. Remember: any civilian lives lost from friendly fire will be punished.

PREPARE FOR THE FIGHT
Last week, we released a powerful primary weapon customization system and expanded surplus options to fight against the Illuminate as they emerged from the singularity. Now that you have learned the tactics of these new squid troops–like the Crescent Overseer and the hulking Fleshmob–you must master these tools to continue the fight on Super Earth. Use every available resource, divers, and decimate their forces!

Our major update*, Heart of Democracy, is now live. Helldivers, to your hellpods immediately! Citizens, enlistment centers will remain open for recruitment.

The battle for Super Earth has begun.

*Internet Connection and HELLDIVERS 2 game required for update.

Helldivers, get to your Super Destroyers! In a surprise turn of events that even our top researchers couldn’t predict, the Illuminate have finally revealed their intentions, emerging from the Meridian singularity, and setting a course for Super Earth.

It’s now more important than ever that we band together and stop this salvo from destroying our liberty.

New Enemies
The Illuminate threat has grown, unleashing new terrors on our citizens across the galaxy. Reports indicate the Illuminate have deployed larger, more powerful enemies within their fleet, among them are the Stingray: jetfighters that provide Illuminate support from the sky, targeting Helldivers and lining up devastating strafing runs. Another new foe is the Crescent Overseer, which has the ability to lay barrages on Helldivers in cover.

But perhaps most terrifying are the reports of a failed Illuminate experiment called the Fleshmob: a Frankenstein’s monster of Voteless parts turned into a brute battlefield force that the Helldivers must work hard to destroy.

There have been sightings of other, even larger ships, though details remain unclear on their abilities. But we can’t underestimate the squids, divers, and that’s why we’re assembling our best and brightest to push them back into oblivion where they belong.

We have to gather all our resources to face this incursion and, fortunately, Super Earth’s R&D department has unlocked some powerful tools for our Helldivers, in the hopes that they will help crush the onslaught of Illuminate invaders.

Customize Your Loadout

Helldivers are being given access to a robust new weapon customization feature for the bulk of our primary weapon offerings. Most primary weapons now have levels that are achievable by completing missions, which then in turn unlock new attachments obtainable through Requisition. In addition to attachments, players can also unlock patterns for their weapons.

Whether it's tweaking sights for precision, changing color patterns, adjusting magazines for ammo capacity, muzzles to optimize weapon performance characteristics or adjusting under-barrel attachments for the handling you want, you're in command of how your weaponry performs on the battlefield. This level of individual attunement is sure to make your favorite primary best in its class.

Old Warbonds, New Patterns
We have unlocked and deployed a stash of patterns for the FRV themed on our Viper Commandos, Freedom's Flame, Chemical Agents, and Truth Enforcers Warbonds. These will help your squad stand out to aid in battlefield coordination and collaboration. This backlog of patterns will unlock for Helldivers on May 15, with the launch of the Masters of Ceremony Warbond!

Expanded Surplus
The Superstore is also getting an emergency expansion to boost your arsenals for the fight. No more waiting for items to come back into rotation–now the items you want are always available, ready to stock your ship and armor your Helldivers with items you might have missed the first time around.

This is the moment of truth, Helldivers. Everyone to the front lines and fight for our right to spread Managed Democracy!

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

Freedoms Greetings Helldivers. Release Captain Carlberg here back with another update straight from Super Earth High Command. Without further ado lets dive straight in

Overview

• New Illuminate faction enemies
  
• New Weapon Customizations and Progression
  
• Crash fixes
  
• Weapon fixes
  
• Miscellaneous fixes

Major Update
Weapon Customization
Gear up, Helldivers—your arsenal just got personal!
With the new Weapon Customization system, you can now tailor your favorite weapons to match your combat style and preferences once you’ve progressed and unlocked different attachments. Whether it's tweaking sights for precision, changing color patterns, adjusting magazines for ammo capacity, muzzles to optimize weapon performance characteristics or adjusting underbarrels for the handling you want, you're in command of how your weaponry performs on the battlefield.
Tinker in the menu, customize your specific weapon configs and switch between them during the mission loadout sequence.
It's time to fight for Super Earth with weapons that are truly yours!

We are aware of a bug that prevents players from canceling customization with a controller. We have a fix identified and prepared for our next hotfix. In the meantime, you can save the customization and then go in and do it again.

New Illuminate Enemies
Stingray:
Jetfighters that provide Illuminate support from the sky, targeting Helldivers and lining up devastating strafing runs.

Crescent Overseer:
Has the ability to lay barrages on Helldivers in cover.

Fleshmob:
A failed Illuminate experiment made up of Voteless parts turned into a brute battlefield force that the Helldivers must work hard to destroy.

Balancing
Weapon balances:

• Spread
  
• Drag
  
• Sway
  
• Melee weapons stamina cost
  
• Shrapnel spawning
  
• Fire damage

Spread:
Spread refers to how much a projectile veers from the point you're aiming at when you fire. This rebalance primarily targets SMGs and sidearms, which previously had noticeably higher spread values. We've reviewed all primary, sidearm, and support weapons with the intent to significantly reduce spread overall, as it didn’t make much sense for these specific weapons to have such high inaccuracy.

Drag:
Drag determines how quickly a projectile loses speed over distance, affecting its damage. We've increased drag for pistol-caliber ammunition (used in SMGs and some sidearms) to better represent its shorter, wider projectile compared to rifle rounds. As a result, these weapons will be slightly less effective at longer ranges.

Sway:
Sway refers to how much the weapon's aim shifts, influenced by factors like movement and stance. It represents the weapon's inertia and stability—so weapons with lower ergonomics will experience less sway, while those with higher ergonomics will have more. Sidearms will naturally have more sway than primaries due to the lack of support features like stocks. This balance patch specifically focuses on adjusting sway for primaries and sidearms.

Stamina Cost:
All melee weapons now consume less stamina when attacking, reducing the cost from 0.1 to 0.05. This change makes melee combat less punishing and allows for easier repositioning between strikes. The affected weapons include the CQC-30 Stun Baton, CQC-19 Stun Lance, CQC-5 Combat Hatchet, and the Entrenchment Tool.

Shrapnel spawning:
With this update, shrapnel will now always spawn in a full 360-degree spread, regardless of where the explosion occurs. This means weapons like the R-36 Eruptor will now more reliably hit the intended target with their shrapnel.
In addition, we’ve adjusted shrapnel performance against armor. Shrapnel now has reduced effectiveness at poor impact angles, to reflect its lack of design for armor penetration in such situations.

These shrapnel balance changes will impact the following weapons:

• R-36 Eruptor
  
• G-6 Frag Grenade
  
• AC-8 Autocannon

Balance Changes:
Armor Penetration decreased on shrapnel projectiles from 3-3-3-0 to 3-3-2-0

• Each of these numbers represent an angle threshold, which means we’ve reduced the AP value of 3 to 2 in the last range where a shrapnel projectile would penetrate an enemy.

Frag Grenade

• Increased Shrapnel spawned from 30 to 35

Autocannon Flak

• Increased Shrapnel spawned from 25 to 30

Fire and Flamethrowers:
This update aims to better balance fire damage between direct hits (like those from flamethrowers) and burn effects over time, while also introducing scaling of fire damage depending on the size of the enemy. Previously, burn damage didn’t scale well against larger enemies, making putting them on fire feel less effective in those encounters.

Now, the larger the enemy, the more damage they take while burning. However, bigger enemies will also be slightly more resistant to ignition. Additionally, direct fire damage now scales with enemy size—so large enemies like Chargers will still take roughly the same damage as before, while smaller enemies will take slightly less.

We have also increased the magazine capacity of the FLAM-66 Torcher and the FLAM-40 Flamethrower because putting stuff on fire is fun!

Damage:

• • Burning damage now scales with enemy size and will do more damage over time to larger enemies
    
  • Fire direct damage also scales with enemy size. The base damage of direct fire hits has been lowered as compensation. This means that large enemies will take roughly the same amount of damage as before, while smaller enemies will take slightly less
  Time to ignite:
  • Larger enemies now take longer to ignite
    
  • Robotic enemies are harder to set on fire than organic ones
    
  • Incendiary Ammunition and Lasers are now less effective at igniting enemies, but once they do, the resulting burn damage is more impactful thanks to the new scaling system
  The Helldiver:
  • The Helldiver is now slightly more resistant to being set on fire
    
  • Burn damage taken by the Helldiver remains unchanged
  Primary weaponsAR-23 Liberator
  • Spread decreased from 4 to 2
  AR-23P Liberator Penetrator

  • Ergonomics increased from -14 to 25
    
  • Sway decreased from 1 to 0.8
    
  • Fire rate increased from 25 to 32
    
  • Fixed a bug that allowed players to cancel the Eruptor's round cycling animation, effectively increasing its fire rate
  The intent with these changes:
  • The improvements made to the Eruptor are designed to compensate for the removal of the reload exploit, ensuring that its overall power remains steady or even improved
  PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle
  • Drag decreased from 1.5 → 0.1
    
  • Is now categorized as an energy weapon in the loadout menu
  The changes to drag means it wont lose speed and damage as it travels through the air and does the damage you would expect it to doSidearm WeaponsGP-31 Ultimatum
  • Is now affected by the Hellpod Optimization Booster
    
  • Explosion damage increased from 1000 to 2000
    
  • Explosion inner radius decreased from 4 to 2 m
    
  • Projectile damage decreased from 3500 to 1000
    
  • Demolition strength decreased from 50 to 40
    
  • Sway increased from 1 to 1.3
  The intent with these changes:
  • We want to maintain the Ultimatum's overall power level while rebalancing how that power is delivered—shifting more of the damage from the projectile itself to the explosion. Previously, the Ultimatum behaved more like a massive kinetic projectile (similar to the 380mm shell) because of its high projectile damage and relatively weaker explosion. This update reinforces its intended identity as a powerful explosive weapon, emphasizing high explosive damage over impact force
    
  • Most heavy enemies will now die from a close hit instead of a direct hit, except for the Factory Strider
    
  • Additionally, due to its reduced demolition strength, the Ultimatum will no longer destroy Stratagem Jammer Objectives or landed Illuminate Warp Ships through their shields. However, the dropships now have health, allowing the Ultimatum to destroy them once the shield is down

Attention, heroic Helldivers.

To celebrate the eradication of the Illuminate invaders, Super Earth mobilizes our most regal looking troops yet - a true celebration of our forebears. Enter the Masters of Ceremony! Wield all-new elite weaponry, capes and armours to step into the boots of Super Earth’s most decorated units.

To start, let us look at the R-2 Amendment.

Carve through bugs like butter with an attached bayonet for close-quarter combat alongside a 20-round magazine. Perfect for vanquishing foes in style both up close and at a distance.

Paired with the CQC-2 Sabre.

A sabre hailing from an elegant time will inspire you to lead the charge and thrust your blade through the heart of our enemies.

To round out the parade spectacle; introducing the G-142 Pyrotech Grenade. When thrown, it will spin and shower the surrounding area in sparks before ceremoniously exploding in a ball of flames. Farewell, pitiful enemies of Super Earth.

Show off your love for Managed Democracy and inspire those around you with the CQC-1 One True Flag.

Feared across the galaxy and attesting to the might of Managed Democracy, this sharp symbol of freedom doubles as a spear to drive home the values of our glorious sovereignty. It brings a tear to our eyes.

Sure, your killing looks great. But how do you look, Helldiver? Let’s accessorize.

For formal occasions the RE-1861 Parade Commander brings old-school prestige whilst being lightweight enough to react in the heat of battle. Pair it with the Humble Regalia cape to make it shine for Democracy in red, black and gold.

After something a little more menacing? Look no further than the RE-2310 Honorary Guard. A traditional but battle hardened armor. Pair with the Federations Embrace cape to pay honor to the glory of Super Earth and our fallen forebears.

Both armors come stock standard with the Reinforced Epaulettes perk, offering your limbs the chance of not breaking so you can continue to wave the flag of victory. For maximum respect, unlock the Decorated Hero title and Lockstep emote to ensure you and your fellow Helldivers parade together on the bodies of your victories. In unison.

An intricate new look from Warbonds of past eras.
By popular demand, we are adding a new stash of FRV patterns to previously released Warbonds to all owners. Go check out the Viper Commando, Freedom's Flame, Chemical Agents, and Truth Enforcers Warbond pages in Acquisitions on May 15th!

Are you ready to join the rank of heroes? Masters of Ceremony and your new skins march in on May 15th for PS5 and PC.

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!

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!

• 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

• You’ll now be more likely to get matched with the same difficulty lobbies as the one you have currently selected
  
• 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
