Arrowhead Game Studios is not holding back as they are determined to makeHelldivers 2great once again. The first major update for the game,Escalation of Freedom, turned out to be a disaster as players were left extremely disappointed. After its failure, Arrowhead devised a new plan to fix the game in just 60 days. Initially, it seemed impossible but the latest patch confirms that Arrowhead is taking players’ feedback seriously.
The latest patch improved various weapons and Stratagems, and Johan Pilestedt, Arrowhead’s CCO, has confirmed that this is just the beginning. The studio is not only focusing on reworking the existing elements but also on new content, as a new leaked picture reveals that a terrifying new Automaton unit will join the faction soon.

This unit is expected to be an Impaler equivalent, and fans suspect that it is equipped with a railgun. In terms of size, this unit is bigger than a Scout Strider and smaller than a Factory Strider. Fighting the Automaton faction is already difficult for many players and if this unit joins the faction, things will get much more chaotic.
