I have a feeling the next war bond in June plus the patch being pushed to the second week of june means we are getting a big update.
However I hope they put a lot of balance and bug fixing in because right now the game is not as fun as it used to be.
Also going against The Illuminate with the current spawn rate, and weapon balance would just result in a bigger outcry from the community then the Bots.

Finally getting so decent cosmetics. Also, the level design in that trailer is fire!HD2 is supposed to be at SGF. So good chance the new enemy factions drops later this week. The game desperately needs some big content updates


Nah the 3rd faction imo is still months away, also the way they doing things, it wont be announced before it drops

Best Warbond until now.

Nice to see you can choose the character skin color, and that they are now also including skins for the Pelican, Hellpod and mechs.

Can't say im a fan of the the skin revealing armors. The second emote is pretty funny though. The weapons iduuno, im not feeling it but we will see. I definitely expecting something different in the SGF trailer though.

If your the run and gun, up close and personal type player, then this bond seems to fit that bill.

The discord mods for helldivers are at it again.

They never learn, I mean why would you respond to furry art with anything other them vomiting? Naturally now the Furry community are infesting the Helldivers "fanart" channel.


At least the new major order is funny, finally unlock AT mines or save a children's hospital, the hospital is winning.

AH ex-CEO tweet about the incoming patch "...maybe some old/new threats". Illuminist ? Or returning enemies from HD1 ?
Impalers ? Cyborg dogs ? Hivelords ? Siege tank ?

I would be very curious to see the Impalers with the new gameplay. "Tentacles spawning ! Find the Impaler quick !"

Nah they wont tease the new faction like that. Probably 1 or 2 new enemy type
I agree with that. The patch just dropped. Let's see if some new enemies are there



Spear is finally fixed !... But it introduced a bug making it impossible to aim Fabricator... At least they acknowledge it and are working on it. Let's hope it doesn't take 4 months...

Honestly all the changes look positive, I'm really excited to see about the changes to make rifles punch harder, the thing to keep in mind is this time they haven't done anything to nerf the existing weapons so they can say they now "comparatively" punch harder. They now just deal with shit better and my SMG's can still do what they do.

Currently at work, but looking forward to this and new warbond.

Yes! a PS5 firmware update. Hopefully that fixes my issue of my PS5 randomly freezing/slowing down. I think I got a bad update back in April. Going to download it from the website and install it manually, hopefully that's the latest one as of today.

huh. pintresting. guess i'll take another look!
It's passable, AA is fixed which helps. Only rears it's ugly head with lots of particles looking a bit blocky, especially after playing the PC version with DLSS. Also, it will be all dependent on how good your TV scaler is as well with the even integer from 1080p to 4K.

Hoping they are working on a reconstruction technique in the future instead of just straight up 1080p. Or, PS5 Pro version, maybe.

Changes look good. Really happy to see super samples on difficulty 6, since that's about the highest me and my duo buddy can reasonably do.

good to know on the AA. i'm using an LG C2. just figured they would have bumped resolution or something at this point as it's been out for a good while. was pretty shocked at how blurry/pixely it was close to launch.

Im definitely a Spear and HMG whore now against the bugs. Yesterday's mini fixes update seems to have been a bad one as im getting plenty of crashes now. Warbond is boo boo(I do like the Experimental Infusion booster). I don't like the cosmetic themed warbond.

I've not noticed any changes since the update. Maybe it's because I'm so damn good with my loadout, but nothing is easier. Had 5 bile titans at one point, chasing my ass. Fortunately, the grenade launcher and incendiary shotgun took good care of them. 😅
 
I'm liking the patch so far. The shift to being swarmed by light and medium enemies instead of throwing multiple heavies at you is a welcome change. Arguably made bugs easier since the problem with bugs has always been swarmed by heavies. A single spear user can take care of all titans. And speaking of the spear, the fix finally made it the weapon it's meant to be and it's so satisfying to use now. I still won't main it but it's very reassuring whenever I see someone in the squad has one. Weird that I haven't seen spewers in a while though. Bots are simultaneously harder and easier. Bot heavies always felt easier to deal with than bug heavies but getting swarmed by berserkers and devastators is not fun. Thankfully the newly buffed HMG really shines now. I would never have thought this was the weapon that I'd finally replace the autocannon with but here we are.

Also friendship ended with eagle one. Now orbital strikes are my best friend. Can't believe they actually buffed precision strike lol. Orbital precision strike has always been a mainstay in my loadout but now it's joined by the buffed orbital gatling barrage.
