A new update of Helldivers 2 has been released that will improve many things at once, and you will finally get the information you need to defeat your enemies.
What kind of update is this? The new update of Helldivers 2 was released before the new Warbond “Viper Commandos”, but the Warbond was not postponed. The new patch should please players because almost nothing has been nerfed this time and basically everything that was not so strong so far has been given a new coat of paint.
A new feature for the world map will also help you work better on the general orders.
You can see the new Warbond “Viper Commandos” in the trailer here:

Updating the map facilitates coordination
What is this new feature? The world map of Helldivers 2 has a new feature. You can now see the supply lines, i.e. the reinforcement lines between the planets, in the game. This allows you to cut off the enemy from supplies and thus conquer the galaxy more easily.
Previously, you had to look at the supply lines on an external website. A guide on how to best use the information you have gained can be found here: Helldivers 2: Supply Lines Map – How to stop the enemy takeover of planets.
But not only the hub on the spaceship has been tweaked, but also the balance and fairness. The planet modifiers and dangers such as fire tornadoes or the spike plant have been revised to give you fairer rounds.
Who cares about yesterday’s balance?
What has happened with the balance? In Helldivers 2, the new update changed almost everything. There were few nerfs and many buffs, especially for equipment, weapons and stratagems, which were previously rather weak.
In a detailed report on Steam, former CEO Johan Pilestedt took the time to explain almost every change in detail. He wrote about the goal of the patch: “With these balance changes, we wanted to upgrade some of the weaker Stratagems to make them more viable and bring more variety to the loadouts.”
Weapons such as the AR-61 Tenderizer, the PLAS-101 Purifier or the R-36 Eruptor rifle have been buffed. Weapons that fire small calibers now also do a little more damage to enemies.
In terms of Stratagems, the Sentry Guns have been buffed so they can now take more damage. The Machine Gun Sentry Gun and the Rocket Sentry Gun have also been buffed to make them stand out a bit more from the Autocannon Sentry Gun and the Gatling Sentry Gun.
Those who prefer a more relaxed approach can also look forward to the rarest samples being available from difficulty level 6. The new Warbond Viper Commandos is also being released today, which has some new weapons, equipment and, for the first time, skins for you: Helldivers 2 brings Rambo and modified mechs in the new update, but the community is eyeing another feature
