What happened to helldivers 2? Many warbonds, updates, buffs, and other great changes have come to the game since 2025 began. also, xbox was announced for released this august, so more players will be coming to the game. There are many different types of helldivers, but my favorite is probably the arc diver. Fire diving is really fun too. Arc Raiders is a cool game but Helldivers 2 js my favorite.
