"Helldivers 2's" "Into the Unjust" update on Sept. 2 is currently making players more curious about its content. Gamers cannot stop speculating on what to expect. This substantial content drop relocates the fight to the Hive Worlds, where the player will venture into alien underground caverns and take the bug horde on within their territory.
Preempting the official release, fresh leaks have emerged, and here's what we need to know about them.
Leaks Uncover New Enemies and Missions
A recent subreddit post at HellDiversLeaks unveiled game files related to the imminent update. Among the revelations are new possible objectives and new enemies, such as the mentioned "Hive Lord" boss, lava and magma environments with fire, and an enigmatic "bug dragon traveler." Although not all leaked items might be introduced on Sept. 2, fans are fascinated by the potential.
Like with most games, content sits in the code well before its official release. Some missions or enemies may not surface for months or even years until their in-game appearance. Yet the fact that these assets exist has generated rumors and anticipation among the Helldivers community.
The Return of Hive Lords?
Arrowhead Game Studios has just released an official trailer for Into the Unjust, which features the new Hive World setting. eagle-eyed gamers picked up on clues that a huge enemy to be feared could be hiding in the background.
According to ComicBook, the leak seems to support the hypothesis, suggesting the return of Hive Lords, the original Helldivers' iconic enemies that never made it to the sequel. Their return would be one of the most anticipated challenges gamers have yet encountered.
Potential Objectives On the Horizon
Besides enemy encounters, leaked documents imply a large range of objectives would make their way into this or potential future updates. Some of the highlight missions include:
- Raise the Flag
- Hack Refinery
- Extract Organic Soup
- Claim Mine Quarry
- Steal Battery Cores
- Sabotage Organic Soup Production
- Escort Oil Rig
- Infiltrate Black Box
Lava Zones and Fire-Breathing Bugs
The other big revelation from the leaks is the existence of lava- and magma-based zones. While confirmation of underground battles was already made through the trailer, these new zones imply even further forays into hazardous areas. In addition to the zones, teasers have also indicated dragon-like bug creatures that breathe fire, possibly associated with the volcanic environments.
New players are encouraged to level as high as possible to prepare for the more challenging enemies and rigorous conditions that the Hive Worlds will introduce.
Dust Devils Warbond Arrives
Alongside the update, Arrowhead is introducing a new premium Warbond called "Dust Devils." Designed for survival in desert-like environments, it offers gear tailored to the challenges of the Hive Worlds. Fans already consider it one of the most exciting Warbonds yet, rivaling the detail and creativity of the recently released ODST gear.
Still, take these leaks with a grain of salt. They might change anytime soon, and who knows, this could be just surface information to everyone.
