Helldivers 2 launches on Xbox and receives the Into the Unjust update on September 2 alongside a Halo 3: ODST cosmetic crossover. The update sends players into the Gloom, a yellow fog that has consumed star systems and transformed planets into Hive Worlds with labyrinthine cave networks dominated by Terminids. Underground combat features darker, more linear tunnels where Terminids have the advantage and players lose access to Super Destroyer support weapons and strategems. Players must equip firearms and items before missions. A new operation involves driving a massive slow oil rig with a mounted cannon to extract resources and escape, while Terminids gain burrowing tactics for ambushes and retreats.
Helldivers 2 is closing out the summer with an update as massive as the extraterrestrial bugs you exterminate in it. It's making its Xbox debut this week, marking one of the rare times a PlayStation exclusive makes the multiplatform jump. Dropping alongside the Xbox version is a dream cosmetic crossover with Halo 3: ODST, which brings the legendary weapons and armor of the 2009 interquel into Helldivers. And to top it all off, the game is getting its most unique update yet on September 2.
Helldivers 2: Into the Unjust is the next big update for Arrowhead Studio's co-op extraction shooter. It's all about taking the fight directly to the insectoid Terminids, and to do so, Helldivers are being sent into the Gloom, the yellow fog that's consumed star systems and turned planets into Hive Worlds. While this update will have big implications for Helldivers 2's ongoing story, I'm most interested in how Super Earth's latest operation will impact gameplay.
Fighting underground means entering claustrophobic tunnels where Terminids have the upper hand. These battlefields are darker and more linear than the open terrain of the galactic front, and being underground also means losing access to the Super Destroyer's support weapons and strategems. According to the developers, players must prepare firearms and helpful items ahead of their trek, or risk being helpless.
