Arrowhead, the developer of Helldivers 2, has surprised fans by dropping new ship upgrades along with the Premium Warbond, Democratic Detonation. The game now features six new ship upgrades, each corresponding to a different section of the ship module. From enhancing fire damage to reducing spread on barrages, these upgrades bring new strategic possibilities to the Playstation 5 and PC third-person shooter.
Players can expect to see changes like resupply boxes refilling support weapons with maximum ammo, reduced spread on orbital barrages, and increased fire damage from stratagems. These upgrades require players to have unlocked previous upgrades in each module before they can purchase them. Arrowhead has a history of stealthily adding new content to the game, and this latest addition of ship upgrades follows in that tradition, though it was somewhat teased beforehand.
Helldivers 2 has been a surprise hit since its launch in February, reportedly selling around three million copies and topping the charts on Steam. The addition of new ship upgrades will only add to the game’s appeal, providing more depth and tactical options for players. As the game continues to grow in popularity, with new content constantly being added, it’s clear that Helldivers 2 has firmly established itself as a standout title in the gaming world.
