Helldivers 2 is officially launching its latest major update called “Into the Unjust.” This new patch update marks the third free content update from developer Arrowhead Game Studios. In particular, the update expands the war effort against the insectoid Terminids. It also introduces new missions, more enemy types, and gameplay enhancements. Players can expect more intense combat as the fight shifts into the dangerous Hive Worlds.
New Locations: Hive Worlds and the Gloom
According to BluntMag, the video game is set across dark Hive Worlds. More clearly, Into the Unjust throws players into Terminid territory. These planets are covered in the Gloom — a dense cloud of toxic spores. Also, they are environments that warp terrain, limit visibility, and separate squads from external support.
Without help from the Super Destroyer, players must rely more on teamwork, awareness, firepower, and close-quarters combat. The latest patch changes how challenges unfold by placing squads in hostile environments, like twisting tunnels and collapsing cave systems.
New Missions: Hive Lung and Mobile Rig Escort
Based on a report from GamesRadar, the game will now feature two mission types as part of the major update. First, players must destroy the Hive Lung. Specifically, they must go underground to find and destroy the large biological structure that fuels the toxic spread. Second, a new escort mission requires players to protect a massive mobile drilling rig. Players need to defend it as it moves through Hive areas, collecting resources while under threat.
At the same time, both fresh missions in Helldivers 2 will include new sub-objectives and challenges. Hence, players must be able to adapt to complete missions.
New Enemies: Deadlier Terminid Threats
GamesRadar also said that Into the Unjust brings an evolved Terminid horde. The developers of the game added Burrowing Chargers that come from below and Dragonroaches that spit dangerous fire. Similarly, they included Toxic Bile Spewers that spread acid in tight tunnels.
The Mirror also announced that Arrowhead Game Studios showed hints at the return of Hive Lords. For those unfamiliar, these are boss-tier enemies that hide in the dark corners of caverns.
Global Launch Time and What’s Next
The developers did not give an official release time. However, the new update might drop around 9 AM GMT today based on previous patterns.
Meanwhile, players can expect the Dust Devils Premium Warbond on September 4. It is said to add more armor sets and weapons, including the AR-2 Coyote assault rifle.
