As you will have seen, Helldivers 2 bought actually standard actual quick—and has been struggling below the load of success for every 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 principally 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 joyful and happy with the group for an incredible Achievement, the servers dealt with all Helldivers 2 gamers this weekend with out drawback,” he provides that the group now has “time to give attention to 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 reality that features mechs. Except for being within the first recreation, mech fits had been teased within the Report for Responsibility trailer. It is a refined trace that you just would possibly’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.
Stated enhancements can also embody silenced ammo and attachments to bolster Helldivers 2’s surprisingly in-depth stealth programs, 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 exams.” Sorry—subsonic what? The CEO resumed full radio silence afterwards, however final I checked, that wasn’t within the recreation 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 occasions. Whereas there are nonetheless a couple of creases to iron out (every day orders are at present bugged) there’s numerous recreation to like right here. I will see you on Draupnir—wait, we liberated that already? Mantes it’s, then.
