In an update from Arrowhead community manager Twinbeard, the game developer is working on support for Sony’s new console. However, the company isn’t revealing what resolution or framerate the game will target on the more powerful hardware.
“There will be differences between the current PS5 and the Pro versions,” Twinbeard told fans on the Helldivers Discord server. “But what those are is yet to be confirmed.”
Dive into the latest Major Update for HELLDIVERS™ 2 - Omens of Tyranny. Join us as we take a closer look at new content additions, including: new urban warfare on Super Earth colonies, the new "FRV" vehicle and the latest threat to the galaxy, the Illuminate.
Sony hasn't announced it and neither has developer Arrowhead. The PlayStation Store has no 'PS5 Pro Enhanced' branding but we've tested it and it is true: Helldivers 2 is now PS5 Pro enhanced, featuring significant improvements to resolution, image quality and frame-rate stability. Oliver Mackenzie puts the new upgrade through its paces on some of Helldivers 2's most challenging content.
Attention, Helldivers: This is a Galactic Emergency. The true Illuminate invasion has begun. In a sudden and completely unprovoked offensive manoeuvre, the full Illuminate fleet is emerging from the Meridia Singularity. Nothing is safe - not even the Heart of Democracy itself.
New enemies
The Illuminate threat has grown, unleashing new terrors on our citizens across the galaxy. Reports indicate the Illuminate have deployed larger, more powerful enemies within their fleet, among them are the Stingray: jetfighters that provide Illuminate support from the sky, targeting Helldivers and lining up devastating strafing runs. Another new foe is the Crescent Overseer, which has the ability to lay barrages on Helldivers in cover.
But perhaps most terrifying are the reports of a failed Illuminate experiment called the Fleshmob: a Frankenstein’s monster of Voteless parts turned into a brute battlefield force that the Helldivers must work hard to destroy.
There have been sightings of other, even larger ships, though details remain unclear on their abilities. But we can’t underestimate the squids, divers, and that’s why we’re assembling our best and brightest to push them back into oblivion where they belong.
We have to gather all our resources to face this incursion and, fortunately, Super Earth’s R&D department has unlocked some powerful tools for our Helldivers, in the hopes that they will help crush the onslaught of Illuminate invaders.
Customize your loadout
Helldivers are being given access to a robust new weapon customization feature for the bulk of our primary weapon offerings. Most primary weapons now have levels that are achievable by completing missions, which then in turn unlock new attachments obtainable through Requisition. In addition to attachments, players can also unlock patterns for their weapons.
Whether it’s tweaking sights for precision, changing color patterns, adjusting magazines for ammo capacity, muzzles to optimize weapon performance characteristics or adjusting under-barrel attachments for the handling you want, you’re in command of how your weaponry performs on the battlefield. This level of individual attunement is sure to make your favorite primary best in its class.
Expanded Surplus
The Superstore is also getting an emergency expansion to boost your arsenals for the fight. No more waiting for items to come back into rotation–now the items you want are always available, ready to stock your ship and armor your Helldivers with items you might have missed the first time around.
The worst nightmare of all those who fight for Managed Democracy has been made a grim reality.
Despite the valiant efforts of our Helldivers to push back the fleet, the Illuminate have reached Super Earth. Now they are swarming our cities, terrorizing citizens, and destroying our infrastructure. It's time to rise up and take arms and fight for the precious foundations and soil of Democracy manifest. Helldivers, return to our planet and defend what is rightfully ours.
