Helldivers 2 Developers Unveil Major Update with New Biomes, Enemy, and Gear

In late April, the creators of the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 introduced a major update, “Patriotic Arms: 6.2.2”.

Among the new features and improvements:

• Two new biomes

• New enemy variation
• Significant Exosuit balance change
• Enemy balance changes
• Secondary weapon and Stratagem balance changes
• Various bug fixes.

The developers stated that Strikers and Shriekers now appear during operations with a corresponding effect. They also noted that players can once again laugh on the battlefield — the sound of the “Jubilant Emote” has been fixed.

Some other changes:

• City Defense events are once again displayed as Super Earth controlled.
• Exosuit primary health increased from 850 to 1600.
• Increased resolution of sparks and smoke from bug breach points.
• “Sickle” no longer emits a high-frequency hum when firing.
• Players will no longer be directed to the “Python Commandos” merit instead of “Regiment [redacted]” and vice versa when selecting the acquisition screen in the ship management menu.
• Destroying an Airbase Control Tower with a Hellbomb no longer blocks mission progress.
