While Helldivers 2 was just released on Xbox today, and along with it, the new Legendary Warbond that brought the Halo: ODST content into the game, Arrowhead Game Studios has more planned.

Titled "Into the Unjust," this new major free update is due next week on September 2 on all platforms.

Alongside the major update content, Arrowhead is also releasing a new Warbond called the "Dust Devils," which brings a slew of new cosmetics, weapons and more to players.

Helldivers 2 Major Update Promises New Content

Into the Unjust releases on September 2 on all platforms, and based on what Arrowhead has said, players will be brought into a whole new territory. Expect to see what's behind the Gloom, as squas will "disappear into the fog and discover new dangers," which confirms we'll be seeing new enemies.

However, one major difference for players this time is they won't be able to call in the Super Destroyer for help! From what Arrowhead has said, it seems that Stratagems from the ship, such as Orbital Lasers and Eagle Strikes, will not be available.

There will be new challenges to undertake as well, such as escorting a mobile oil rig. Helldivers must then defend the rig from attacks, while it navigates the Hive World terrain to the next drill site.

Players won't be taking on the new content unarmed, though, as a new Warbond is set to be released alongside the update.

The Helldivers 2 Dust Devils Warbond will be available a few days later on September 4, and this brings new weapons, stratagems, and more..

New Weapons:

  • AR-2 Coyote: You can hunt in packs or go by your lonesome with this assault rifle that features incendiary ammunition. But be warned: this coyote is wild.
  • G-7 Pineapple: This cluster frag grenade might look like a cute and unassuming fruit, but it’ll have the bugs in absolute pieces.
  • S-11 Speargun: A true big game hunter’s companion. The S-11 fires heavy-duty projectiles that release a cloud of gas on impact.
  • EAT-700 Expendable Napalm: Heat up the planet with this single-use missile that contains napalm cluster bombs.
  • MS-11 Solo Silo: The long-range power of a missile in a new convenient package. Calls down a Hellpod-sized missile silo with a single, ultra-powerful missile and a handheld targeting remote.

There are also new cosmetics included in the Warbond, such as the DS-42 Federation’s Blade cape and more.

It seems Arrowhead has a ton of stuff planned for Helldivers 2, and this isn't stopping anytime soon. One dev even said they have plans for Helldivers 2 for the "next few years," which is good news for players.
