Arrowhead Game Studios has announced a new update for Helldivers 2, featuring the highly anticipated Pillars of Freedom cape. This item has been a topic of conversation among players for months, especially in light of a review-bombing campaign the game successfully navigated.
The update aims to enhance the overall gameplay experience, coinciding with a recent significant battle on Super Earth and the removal of region locks from the PC version. In addition to the new cape, the studio has teased exciting future content, including leaks about an Automaton Homeworld and a new enemy type named the Observer.
For now, fans can enjoy the long-awaited cape, which emerged from the controversy surrounding PSN Account Linking on the PC and the subsequent review bombing. This update also features balancing changes, particularly aimed at leveling the battlefield against players by buffing a notorious enemy faction.
Arrowhead addressed various bugs in a smaller hotfix and responded to player feedback by nerfing Leviathans. Notably, they reduced their spawn rates, made their cannons destructible, and adjusted damage mechanics to create a more enjoyable gameplay environment.
Moreover, the Pillars of Freedom cape is not the only new cosmetic item. Following a recent event where players successfully repelled Illuminate forces, another cape named Protector of the Heart was introduced, displaying the Helldivers logo in a striking design.
With Helldivers 2, players can immerse themselves in thrilling cooperative gameplay, strategizing alongside friends to combat alien threats. The game emphasizes teamwork, allowing players to utilize powerful weapons and unique abilities to complete missions effectively.
