Arrowhead Games has announced that Helldivers 2’s upcoming massive patch will be released on October 15, following an oversight where the developer failed to account for weekend days in its initial 60-day plan unveiled during the summer season. The studio has redeemed its earlier mistake with a playful video previewing upcoming patch updates, featuring Johan Pilestedt humorously chiming in on the fun.
In their latest update, Arrowhead’s CCO Pilestedt and developer Niklas Malmborg revealed the main highlights of their upcoming massive patch, which has now shifted from a 60-day to a 63-day timeline.
“We refrain from releasing patches over weekends, ensuring we don’t disrupt gameplay when players are fully immersed, Pilestedt explained. “We’ve decided to launch our day 60 patch on Tuesday, October 15, exactly one week after the initial plan. Meanwhile, the development team has provided some tantalizing hints about the changes and improvements that will be included in this update.”
What have been they? Properly, the autocannon is taking flak (in a good way), the scorcher’s being upgraded to a “computerized inferno”, drone backpacks now have recall capabilities so you can avoid unwanted fires, and the stalwart is receiving one of the most significant enhancements in the patch.
As the recoilless rifle receives “programmable ammo”, speculation abounds among gamers regarding its potential implications. One wry joke suggested that this advancement would enable DOOM compatibility in bullets, prompting Pilestedt to respond with a humorous remark on Reddit: “and later Skyrim shall be launched on it.”
The latest development in the construction of a new main order has emerged, providing temporary relief until tomorrow. The most recent phase involves collaboration between the deep mantle forge complex and xenontology center to support ongoing operations, with orders already fulfilled through current divers’ efforts, specifically:
“Progress on the analysis is currently hindered by the diverse array of Terminid specimens available.” The introduction of the DSS will significantly augment our need for E-710 capabilities. Subsequent to the directive from Excessive Command, an immediate implementation of a Terminal Analysis Protocol is mandated on Acamar IV.
The Terminids will be introduced to controlled environments within designated zones on Acamar IV, permitting natural growth while ensuring containment through the use of reinforced electric fencing and monitored examination. Terminid samples can be readily requisitioned by Analysis Groups operating within the Protect zone, with support from the SEAF Bug Wardens on hand to facilitate the process. As demand for data increases, the Protect is likely to expand its capabilities beyond providing analysis samples, possibly including readily accessible E-710 resources.
The space fleet’s Helldivers must enforce a rigorous planetary lockdown on Acamar IV, safeguarding the Protect species by keeping them isolated from the dominant Terminid host.
You’re tasked with supporting Gacrux, a crucial planet in the MO checklist, which currently requires your attention. Please revisit this topic on October 15 to confirm when the patch goes live and review the comprehensive patch notes.
