Cover-Credits:
The Helldivers 2 community has been in for a surprise with the latest update, which stealthily added two new enemies to the game. Arrowhead Game Studios continues to expand the Helldivers 2 Galactic War with fresh challenges, including new weapons and now, formidable adversaries. Here's everything you need to know about the new enemies in Helldivers 2.
Two New Enemies Added to Helldivers 2
Gunship Automatons
The Gunship, similar to the Shriekers previously encountered, adds a new vertical element to the gameplay. These aerial units often patrol in groups of 2 to 4, armed with powerful rockets and energy weapons. Taking them down requires coordinated efforts, with weapons like the EAT-17s or the new Quasar Cannon being effective choices. Gunships are known to actively seek out players, using scanners to detect their presence.
Factory Strider
On the ground, players will face the Factory Strider, a massive mechanized walker reminiscent of the AT-ATs from Star Wars. This imposing enemy is heavily armored, equipped with multiple cannons and laser mini-guns, and can spawn Devastator enemies. Dealing with the Factory Strider requires strategic planning and effective use of Stratagems, as its weak points are not yet well-known.
Strategic Adaptation to The New Enemies
The introduction of the Factory Strider and Gunships demands a tactical evolution from Helldivers. Players must leverage powerful weaponry and teamwork to overcome these formidable foes. From heavy-duty Stratagems to coordinated assaults, victory against these new enemies requires ingenuity and adaptability.
New Environments
In addition to the new adversaries, Helldivers must contend with environmental hazards such as blizzards and sandstorms. These dynamic elements reshape the battlefield, presenting additional challenges and opportunities for strategic maneuvering.
Both of these new enemies add significant challenges to the already intense battles in Helldivers 2. Players will need to adapt their strategies to counter these new threats, making use of the game's wide range of weapons and equipment.
With the introduction of the Factory Strider and Gunships, Helldivers 2 continues to deliver challenging and engaging gameplay experiences. Players can look forward to exciting encounters and intense battles as they dive into the ongoing Galactic War.
