While Helldivers 2 had been released to critical acclaim, many may have thought it was in hiding due to the lack of news. Well, think again. In a pretty shocking move, Arrowhead Game Studios has announced Helldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom, a massive content update that adds a whole world of new stuff to the game. Let's talk about it.

Helldivers 2 is already notorious for the nail-biting difficulty it brings to the table. But just like other penalty games, it's never enough. Thankfully, Arrowhead listened to the community and is bringing a brand new Combat Rating 10 (CR 10) difficulty to the game.

CR 10 will be Helldivers 2's most "relentless dive difficulty yet." As such, also expect it to come with bigger rewards! In addition to the difficulty, there will be new mission objectives and larger enemy outposts with more variety. These include a new caterpillar mission.

The new Helldivers 2 update is also in demand and revives the Impaler. For the uninitiated, the Impaler is a large tentacled monster that can deal a lot of damage. Another new Terminid enemy is the Spore Charger which will hide its location in the fog for even more confusion.
