Update: Arrowhead has confirmed that the release date for the new Helldivers 2 patch update is Thursday, June 13th.
Original story below:
Helldivers 2 fans have been waiting for a new patch update to come out for a while, and finally one is set to come out very soon. There’s no precise day known for when the patch will be shared as of yet, but Arrowhead has assured fans that the new Helldivers 2 patch update is still scheduled to come out this week. Not only that, but the dev has teased some exciting inclusions.
In addition to a new patch this week, Helldivers 2 fans can also look forward to the release date for the new Viper Commandos premium Warbond. There are big changes for Warbonds after the release of Vipers Commando, and we should also soon be getting the arrival of the highly-anticipated Illuminate alien race in a short matter of time.
While we cannot wait for the new Premium Warbond this week, we’re equally pumped for the new update. Unlike the most recent hotfix, this will be a mighty update that includes balance changes.
New Helldivers 2 patch update is still coming this week
Arrowhead previously shared that a new Helldivers 2 update will be arriving in the second week of June. They clarified on Discord that they meant the second full week of the month.
Fortunately, community manager, Twinbeard, shared on June 8th that “next week still stands”. That means the patch will arrive as originally slated between June 10th to 16th. No specific launch day has been mentioned, but it could possibly be June 13th to coincide with the debut of the Vipers Commando Premium Warbond.
In addition to sharing that the patch will arrive this week, Twinbeard teased that it will include the following:
- Patrols and spawn rate reverted
- Visible supply lines and attack origins
- Invite-only lobbies
- Super samples at lvl 6
- Unlimited grenade fix
- 100 changes and fixes
This is all we know about the patch as of writing. More details should be provided early this week, so make sure to keep an eye on the game’s official socials.
As for the future, Arrowhead has confirmed that changes are coming to the Galactic War map. Not only that, but they have confirmed an interest in adding more emotes with an emote wheel. These aren’t intended for the patch coming out this week, but they’re things to look forward to for the future.
