Helldivers 2 fans are on top of the galaxy right now. The Omens of Tyranny update brought not only the Illuminate, but also the vehicles and the melee weapons we've been hoping for. The update caused a resurgence in the player count and also saw Helldivers 2 return to the top of Steam sales charts.
Helldivers 2 was once an uplifting and collaborative live-service gem, but since launch, the community has become a hotbed of outrage.
The Illuminate front is perhaps the most cinematic of the three, thanks to its urban setting, Illuminate tripods, and of course, the FRVs zooming across the city streets. You may have seen a number of awesome TikToks and Reels showing Helldivers drifting around city blocks with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird playing in the background. It looks like you may soon be able to do this in the game as well.
When asked about FRVs featuring radio stations like in GTA and other open world games, Arrowhead chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt replied, "Haha yes, that has been on the drawing board for some time, but is yet to be decided on."
It seems the devs know exactly what the playerbase wants and have been...
