Helldivers 2 lastly liberated from the majority of its server points as Arrowhead CEO celebrates having ‘time to concentrate on enhancements’ like rad mechs and (most likely) stealth gear

As you’ll have seen, Helldivers 2 received actually common actual quick—and has been struggling beneath the burden of success for per week and alter. Opinions lamenting server issues induced it to dip into ‘blended’ territory on Steam, and a harsh 15-minute AFK timer needed to be carried out to curb server squatters. 

However after elevating the server cap to 700,000 (and strolling again a sleep-deprived tweet or two), Helldivers 2 largely held the fort with solely delicate turbulence. Anecdotally, I had zero points logging in over the weekend—although I’m in a UK time zone—and Arrowhead Video games’ CEO Johan Pilestedt confirms that they did not hit any main issues on Twitter.

“I am actually completely happy and happy with the staff for a tremendous Achievement, the servers dealt with all Helldivers 2 gamers this weekend with out drawback,” he provides that the staff now has “time to concentrate on enhancements to the title and resume our authentic plan. Many thrilling issues upcoming!”

That is good to listen to, as a result of I do know for a truth that features mechs. Except for being within the first sport, mech fits have been teased within the Report for Obligation trailer. It is a refined trace that you simply may’ve missed in your first viewing, however eagle-eyed viewers would’ve clocked the large, stomping mech swimsuit firing a really loud gatling gun whereas a pilot cackles maniacally behind the wheel, with ‘coming quickly after launch’ message encoded in plain, unaltered english.

Mentioned enhancements may embody silenced ammo and attachments to bolster Helldivers 2’s surprisingly in-depth stealth methods, as casually hinted at by Pilestedt in a reply to a tweet over the weekend: “I used to rock subsonic ammo and suppressor and do that fairly a bit throughout play assessments.” Sorry—subsonic what? The CEO resumed full radio silence afterwards, however final I checked, that wasn’t within the sport Johan. Johan? What do you imply subsonic ammo? Johan, come again!

Regardless, Helldivers 2 continues to be a complete blast—and now it is one you may even have enjoyable enjoying with out slamming head-first into queue instances. Whereas there are nonetheless just a few creases to iron out (day by day orders are at the moment bugged) there’s plenty of sport to like right here. I am going to see you on Draupnir—wait, we liberated that already? Mantes it’s, then.
