Into the Unjust: 5.0.2

Bang bang less…

Democracy doesn’t always need to shout. This patch is deploying some important updates to suppressed weapons, allowing Helldivers to eliminate threats with reduced detection and tighter tactical control.

Expect quieter kills, cleaner engagements, and new opportunities for coordinated strikes before the enemy knows you’re there.

Remember: stealth is a tool, not a substitute for overwhelming firepower. Use it wisely, Helldivers!

So where could you use these new tools? In the brand new Commando missions! Helldivers are going deep behind enemy lines where their normal reliance on air superiority is no longer an option. Reinforcements have to be deployed in advance and destroyer support is a risky business with limited time. The Commando missions will be activated later today (14:00 CET) alongside the release of the Redacted Regiment Warbond. And, finally, after weeks of your input and stress testing, we are ready to make the slim PC build default for all players. We’ll keep the larger version online for a short time to ensure a smooth transition for everyone; so you’ll continue to have the option to switch back should you wish. Once this transition has been completed we’ll look to sunset the large build permanently in the near future.

Much more to come in February and beyond.

Finish the job for Super Earth.
