While the official word on Helldivers 2 content updates is still under wraps, a recent datamine has stirred up some chatter amongst fellow Helldivers. It’s important to remember that datamined information isn’t officially confirmed by the developers, so take it with a grain of salt.
That being said, let’s take a look at what the datamine potentially revealed:
The Return of a Familiar Foe
The rumor mill suggests the possible return of the Illuminate, a chilling enemy faction encountered in the first Helldivers game. Dataminers reportedly found references to various Illuminate enemy types, including Adepts, Ghouls, Illusionists, and more. These cryptic adversaries could bring a fresh wave of strategic challenges to the battlefield.
New Combat Strategies
The datamine also hinted at potential new “Stratagems”, which are special abilities players can use to gain an edge in combat. These reportedly include intriguing options like a tactical “Nuke” (though hopefully not for friendly fire!), mini-missiles, and even a “Medic Backpack” for on-the-go healing.
The Rise of the Machines:
Interestingly, the datamine supposedly uncovered references to “DropoffCombatWalker.” While details are scarce, many players speculate this could be the codename for mechs making their way into Helldivers 2.
Piloting these mechanized giants could add a whole new dimension to combat, but it’s important to remember that developer Arrowhead Game Studios has already confirmed the addition of mechs as a future update, so this datamined information might simply be corroborating existing plans.
These are unconfirmed leaks, and the developers haven’t officially announced any of this information. It’s always best to wait for official updates to avoid getting your hopes up for specific features. However, the datamine does offer a glimpse into potential areas of development, and it’s exciting to speculate about what the future holds for Helldivers 2!
Final Words
So, stay tuned, fellow Helldivers. As intel becomes available, we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the official roadmap for this highly anticipated sequel. In the meantime, keep those dropships fueled and drills spinning!
