Helldivers 3 is "hopefully many years away" says Arrowhead's CEO, who did not vote for gunJul 18, 2025 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunHelldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have made clear that they're still very much all-in on the game right now, with adding more stuff to the good shootery thing they've got going being the main focus. That said, the studio's bigwigs have provided a couple of hints at what the future might hold for them, with the latest being that Helldivers 3 is "hopefully many years away". Also, they aren't fans of players voting to rename a city on Super Earth 'Gun', which is a thing that's been going on in Helldiverland lately.

There are a lot of them in Helldivers 2, it being a shooter and all. HD2 players aren't happy for it to end there though. They've been asked for their input in renaming the single city on Super Earth they've so far succeeded in rebuilding since all of that Illuminate invasion business, and they're voting for Gun.

And that's 'hell yes.' Helldivers 2 just unveiled its next Warbond, Control Group, that contains some experimental and ludicrous weaponry forged from alien tech. The Warbond, which arrives in Helldivers 2 on Thursday July 17, also contains a new Stratagem that lets 'Divers teleport around the battlefield. Read the rest of the story...

Об этом сообщил авторитетный французский журналист Жюльен Шьез. Helldivers 2's next warbond is full of funky alien tech, including a "(somewhat) stable wormhole" teleportation packJul 10, 2025 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunSometimes, when you're fighting aliens, you've got to whip out a gun that might explode in your own face. Them's the rules. You've got to risk it for a chocolate biscuit. Or, at least that's premise of Helldivers 2's latest warbond. Dubbed Control Group, it'll give you access to a bunch of experimental gear Super Earth's scientists have cobbled together from captured Illuminate tech if you opt to pick it up when it drops on June 17th. Read more Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond launches July 17!Jul 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsAttention, Helldivers! The Ministry of Defense Research & Development team has just declassified the following information for immediate release. You have been cleared to field test a new range of experimental weapons built from acquired alien technology. R&D scientists have completed the Control Group Premium Warbond* for deployment to your Super Destroyer! Weapons & StratagemsFirst up, in the primary weapon category, is the VG-70 Variable, a seven-barrelled volley gun with three different firing modes: Auto, which has three selectable RPM values; Volley, which fires a single shot from each barrel at once; and Total, which fires all remaining ammunition in one go. Researchers noted that using the Total firing mode with a lot of ammunition may result in bodily harm to the user. Also in need of field testing is the new G-31 Arc grenade. The lightweight G-31 bounces while discharging electricity that strikes enemies (and Helldivers) in proximity.The next declassified item is the PLAS-45 Epoch support weapon which charges plasma into a focused sphere which is then fired. This weapon is ready for battlefield use, but additional research data suggests that it can explode if overcharged. No safe mode is available. But we're sure you can handle it, Helldiver. This is what field testing is all about! Next up in offensive technology is the A/LAS-98 Laser Sentry. For this sentry, the ammunition canisters on standard turrets have been replaced with a supersized heatsink, allowing the potential for infinite laser firing. However, R&D would like to remind users that the turret can overheat and explode if the laser is continuously active with no cooldown.Perhaps the most significant and exciting development from the Ministry of Defense is the new LIFT-182 Warp Pack stratagem. R&D has harnessed the power of Dark Fluid to generate a (somewhat) stable wormhole on demand. Once the wormhole is active, wearers can teleport short distances with no cooldown between jumps. In practice, the wearer is pulled into the singularity, dematerialized, and rematerialized again in a new location. The head of R&D noted that the dematerialization process can be somewhat painful, and that users should bear in mind that the wormhole cannot maintain integrity for extended periods–each jump will further destabilize it, and the wearer may experience death should the singularity fully collapse. A small price to pay for ultra-convenient traversal!Armors & MoreAnd don’t forget about proper personal protective equipment! Good field testing involves enforcing safety protocols, which is why we’re outfitting Control Group with two new sets of armor designed to provide adequate battlefield protection. For medium armor, we’ve included the AD-26 Bleeding Edge that will allow for protection and greater ease of movement combined. But for more dangerous experiments, there’s also the AD-49 Apollonian heavy armor that’s meant to assist you with the perils of evaluating all this new equipment.

This one makes the Illuminate's flying death slugs easier to battle and looks like it might have laid the groundwork for the game's long-awaited review bomb cape.

It looks like one of those titles, Helldivers 2, could finally be getting a cape players have craved for a year or so as a result. Yep, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has teased deploying the review bomb-themed cape that first emerged as a meme following the backlash to PlayStation attempting to change the game's PSN account linking rules last year. We've known the cape was a real item the studio had made for a while now, but with the region locking still ongoing, Arrowhead have opted to keep it locked away for months on end.
