Arrowhead Game Studios have just launched a major update to the popular co-op shooter HELLDIVERS 2, and with that there's many new enemies to face along with more customization options.

The game is still running rather nicely on Linux too, with the anti-cheat being enabled for Linux since the original release. Not just that, but it's also 31% off on Fanatical right now during their big sale which might actually be the lowest price for it so far.

Main highlights include:

  • New Illuminate faction enemies.
  • New Weapon Customizations and Progression.
  • Crash fixes.
  • Weapon fixes.
  • Miscellaneous fixes.

I've put a ridiculous amount of hours into HELLDIVERS 2 at this point and I'm going to play a lot more thanks to this update. I still think they have one of the best implementations of a "battle pass" compared to most other games, with no time-limited silliness and they stick around so you can claim stuff from them whenever you wish.

Have you been playing it on Linux recently? How's your experience been?

HELLDIVERS 2 | Release Date: 30th September 2023

When they released the Illuminate, the game lost all the fun for me somehow.

The new, updated Illuminate faction is superb, but it's the weapon progression that re-ignited my love of this game. 350 hours now.

One of the greatest co-op games of all time, I think.
