Helldivers 2 has received its latest patch, which aims to make the game more manageable by tackling one of its most frustrating aspects: fighting the airborne enemy known as Leviathans. The flying squids were a constant source of frustration for players, causing ragdolling and dealing significant impulse damage to vehicles.
To address this issue, the developers have made several tweaks to Leviathan encounters. The new patch notes reveal that Leviathans now deal less impulse damage to vehicles, are less likely to spawn during missions, and have an extra second delay between shots. Additionally, players can destroy their cannons, providing a much-needed way to counter these aerial threats.
The early response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many players expressing gratitude towards the developers for making this change.
However, the patch also includes some additional tidbits that might be of interest to fans of the game’s lore. A recent leak by IronS1ghts, a known leaker in the Helldivers 2 community, suggests that the latest patch may have inadvertently included a review bomb cape as part of its update. The image, which shows the “Pillars of Freedom” cape, has sparked debate among fans about whether it’s actually been implemented into the game or is simply a tease.
While the development team has not officially confirmed the presence of the review bomb cape, it’s clear that this patch marks an important step forward for Helldivers 2. With its focus on balance and player satisfaction, the latest update shows that Arrowhead is committed to creating a more enjoyable experience for its fans.
