As you will have observed, Helldivers 2 acquired actually in style actual quick—and has been struggling underneath the load of success for per week and alter. Evaluations lamenting server issues precipitated it to dip into ‘blended’ territory on Steam, and a harsh 15-minute AFK timer needed to be carried out to curb server squatters.
However after elevating the server cap to 700,000 (and strolling again a sleep-deprived tweet or two), Helldivers 2 principally held the fort with solely delicate turbulence. Anecdotally, I had zero points logging in over the weekend—although I’m in a UK time zone—and Arrowhead Video games’ CEO Johan Pilestedt confirms that they did not hit any main issues on Twitter.
“I am actually pleased and happy with the group for a tremendous Achievement, the servers dealt with all Helldivers 2 gamers this weekend with out downside,” he provides that the group now has “time to concentrate on enhancements to the title and resume our authentic plan. Many thrilling issues upcoming!”
That is good to listen to, as a result of I do know for a truth that features mechs. Apart from being within the first recreation, mech fits had been teased within the Report for Obligation trailer. It is a refined trace that you just may’ve missed in your first viewing, however eagle-eyed viewers would’ve clocked the enormous, stomping mech go well with firing a really loud gatling gun whereas a pilot cackles maniacally behind the wheel, with ‘coming quickly after launch’ message encoded in plain, unaltered english.
Mentioned enhancements may additionally embrace silenced ammo and attachments to bolster Helldivers 2’s surprisingly in-depth stealth programs, as casually hinted at by Pilestedt in a reply to a tweet over the weekend: “I used to rock subsonic ammo and suppressor and do that fairly a bit throughout play assessments.” Sorry—subsonic what? The CEO resumed full radio silence afterwards, however final I checked, that wasn’t within the recreation Johan. Johan? What do you imply subsonic ammo? Johan, come again!
Regardless, Helldivers 2 continues to be a complete blast—and now it is one you possibly can even have enjoyable enjoying with out slamming head-first into queue instances. Whereas there are nonetheless just a few creases to iron out (every day orders are currently bugged) there’s numerous recreation to like right here. I will see you on Draupnir—wait, we liberated that already? Mantes it’s, then.
