Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 community's favorite conspiracy theory shut down by Arrowhead CEO, who says Major Orders are not scripted and the devs are as clueless as players: "Our predictions are often wrong"

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 fans fear General Brasch might be dead as an in-game transmission announces "the last surviving hero of the First Galactic War has passed away at 103"

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 players are blaming everything from bugs, to the other kind of bugs, to Arrowhead itself for them failing the latest Major Order: "The caves did things and it was not pretty"

Third Person Shooters Even Helldivers 2 studio CEO agrees Fortnite's new bug-squashing season "feels very democratic," but only God and General Brasch know if that makes an official collab more or less likely

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 3 is "hopefully many years away," because Arrowhead is "focusing on the here and now" and Helldivers 2 "can run for a long time if people keep playing it"

Third Person Shooters "I know what's coming for Helldivers for the next few years": Arrowhead has a long-term plan for Helldivers 2, but it's still "subject to change"

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 dev has the unlucky task of crushing players' hopes, confirming there's no new Stratagem waiting at the end of this Strategic Opportunity: "I guess a new mech or orbital is asking a lot"

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 players were already getting obliterated, so now it just feels like game master Joel is taking their lunch money, kicking their teeth in, and spitting in their eyes

Third Person Shooters Arrowhead CEO says he wasn't talking about Helldivers 3 in recent tease, but "our next game" – which raises a whole other question

Third Person Shooters Panic ensues amongst Helldivers 2 fans after one diver claims to have found surface-to-air missile sites on bug planets, igniting fears a beefy flying unit is coming soon

Third Person Shooters Next week, Helldivers 2 is getting Terminid Hive Worlds with huge underground caves where your Stratagems don't work, a new Dust Devil Warbond with a harpoon gun, and it sure looks like Hive Lords are back

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 patch goes live "ahead of schedule" to calm angry divers, but it doesn't seem to address Into the Unjust update's biggest problems

Third Person Shooters "We actually won": Helldivers 2 players pull off a miracle at the 11th hour, killing 47 million enemies of Democracy in a week and earning 3 cities that sound like terrible places to live

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 devs address performance complaints, say "we want things to be in a better state, we are taking it very seriously" with an update next month just the start of "a bigger development plan"

Third Person Shooters Helldivers 2 devs stay true to their word, immediately roll out a patch full of fixes after the studio's "Super Earth sanctioned vacation," but one major issue still remains
