Freedom never sleeps, and Helldivers 2 has announced its biggest update yet, the Escalation of Freedom. This update adds a ton of new challenges for Helldivers, so here’s everything that’s coming in the Escalation of Freedom update.
Helldivers 2 – Escalation of Freedom Update is here, but there's bad news
The Escalation of Freedom update introduces a new difficulty level for Helldivers 2: Super Helldive. Featuring more enemies than you've ever seen before, Combat Rating 10 is intended to feel like a progression of the Helldive difficulty.
Along with the new difficulty comes larger outposts on both fronts of the war. These are massive strongholds that are tough to contest but also offer greater rewards, including Super Samples.
Both Terminids and Automatons are getting reinforcements in Escalation of Freedom. On the Terminid front, expect the return of the Impaler from the original Helldivers game. Spore Charger is a new type of Charger that spawns fog wherever it goes, much like the Spore Spewers. Finally, there’s the Terminid Alpha Commander, a deadlier variant of a Brood Commander that calls in new enemies for aid.
