The galaxy’s worst nightmare has arrived—Super Earth is under siege in Helldivers 2’s biggest update yet, featuring new Illuminate enemies, total weapon customization, and all-out planetary warfare.
🛡️ Major Order: Hold the Line at All Costs
Table of Contents
The new Galactic Emergency update kicks off with a high-stakes Major Order: defend Super Earth. Three planets are marked for collapse. Arrowhead confirms: “All three planets will fall.” This isn’t about victory—it’s about damage control before the war reaches democracy’s doorstep.
This marks the first time since Helldivers 1 that players must fight to protect Super Earth itself, promising intense combat and likely new mega-city battlefields to come.
👾 New Illuminate Forces Join the Fray
The dreaded Illuminate return with fresh, terrifying reinforcements:
- Stingray – Jetfighters that strike from above
- Crescent Overseer – Bombards Helldivers hiding behind cover
- Fleshmob – A grotesque fusion of husks in swarm formation
This sudden escalation has reshaped the frontlines, with every deployment now facing unpredictable alien tactics.
⚙️ Full Weapon Customization Now Live
Customization has landed for all primary weapons. Players can now tailor their firearms with upgrades across:
- Magazine
- Muzzle
- Underbarrel
- Optics
- Skins & Patterns
Progression unlocks as you use your weapon in combat—leveling it up to earn attachments and upgrades using requisitions. Save loadouts, tweak your gear, and prep before missions. Rank 10 unlocks this system, but full upgrades are earned through battlefield experience.
Some weapons offer 20+ combinations, with more planned for the future. Experimental weapons like lasers will have fewer options, but standard firearms have deep customization trees.
🔥 Fire, Shrapnel & Balance Tweaks
The patch introduces game-wide rebalancing. Key highlights include:
- Shrapnel now hits in a 360° blast and is affected by terrain
- Fire damage scales with enemy size (larger targets burn longer)
- Sidearms & SMGs are weaker at long range
- Melee weapons now cost less stamina to use
The beloved Eruptor gets a buff, now viable for both AoE and single-target damage. Developers describe it as “powerful and satisfying” in both roles.
🛍️ New Super Store Access
Say goodbye to FOMO. All previously time-limited items are now accessible in the updated Super Store, letting players purchase cosmetics and gear at their own pace.
