Arrowhead Game Studios' extensive ARG campaign for Helldivers 2 has reached its culmination with the game's Illuminate faction invasion of Earth:

Here's What We Know

New enemy types include the Stingray, which carries out aerial attacks similar to Eagle Fighters; the Crescent Overseer, which fires at player shelters; and the Fleshmob, a monstrous cluster of Voteless body parts. The game also hints at even bigger ships in future updates.

However, the most significant innovation was the introduction of a pumping system for most of the main weapons. After completing missions, players will be able to unlock new modules: magazines, attachments, under-barrel devices, etc. that affect the characteristics of weapons. It is also now possible to unlock new camouflages for visual customisation.

Other changes include new design variations for Viper Commandos, Truth Enforcers, Chemical Agents, and Freedom's Flame Warbands, which will be available with the launch of the Masters of Ceremony Warbond. In addition, all products in the Superstore are available at all times, without waiting for rotation.

More changes are expected, including balance adjustments, which will be announced in the near future.
