Since its release last year, Arrowhead Game Studios have kept Helldivers 2 fresh and active thanks to continued support through the addition of new weapons, stratagems, enemies and more. In what is one of its biggest updates yet, Helldivers 2 is getting a ton of game-changing additions, including a new loadout system with added forms of progression and much more.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, Katherine Baskin of Arrowhead Game Studios wrote: “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.”

This new update – dubbed the Galactic Emergency – represents one of Helldivers 2’s biggest content drops yet, adding a ton of stuff including but not limited to:

• Multiple new Illuminate enemies
  • Stingray
  • Crescent Overseer
  • Fleshmob
• Loadout customisation
  • Weapon leveling
  • Unlockable attachments
  • Weapon camos/patterns
• Expansion of old Warbonds
• SuperStore overhaul with no more item rotations

The addition of a weapon levelling and loadout system alone expands the potential of Helldivers 2 tenfold, offering a much greater sense of progression, personalisation and fun. Hopefully the team at Arrowhead continues to introduce further such substantial changes/additions.
