Helldivers 2 getting an upgraded level cap probably isn't what that spooky teddy bear teaser was about, but is almost definitely in preparation for it

We're proceeding that 300 is simply a bigger fig than 150

Tonally mercurial co-op shooter Helldivers 2 is boosting its level cap, again, successful different hint that thing large is brewing successful the blackness of its endlessly war-torn galaxy. Following a erstwhile summation from 50 to 150, developers Arrowhead are bumping the headdress to level 300 successful an upcoming patch, with immoderate XP that you would person gained since hitting the erstwhile bounds acceptable to use retroactively. I wonderment if immoderate dive-happy souls retired determination person banked capable well-done points to instantly leap from 150 to 300 the infinitesimal they log in? No judgement here. Questions, maybe, but not judgement.

The announcement station doesn’t circumstantial a day oregon spot fig for erstwhile the higher headdress takes effect, though the announcement itself comes conscionable a time aft this funny teaser video, showing a teddy carnivore successful Helldiver garb having a alternatively nasty clip aft floating into immoderate benignant of unfastened spacetime wound. Which means – that’s close – it’s clip to pointlessly speculate!

Given the deficiency of gully to bigger level numbers successful themselves – the spot besides includes caller high-level ranks and titles, but these are fundamentally conscionable for showing disconnected – it does marque consciousness that a large contented update is successful the works. Activities, successful different words, to assistance capable retired that higher cap, portion a re-opened XP pat provides affirmative reinforcement to thrust players to those caller fights successful turn.

Whatever the teaser is for, it’s besides evidently important capable to warrant an expensive-looking abbreviated video, directed with much gravitas than Helldivers typically bothers with. Perhaps, those Warhammer 40K crossover plans don’t extremity astatine Guardsmen uniforms and Meltaguns. The cosmic painhole that rips isolated the carnivore has the look, feel, and odor of a Warp rift: tears successful 40K’s world done which the Chaos gods and their demonic mates scope done to realspace.

Could Helldivers 2 person you not simply cosplaying arsenic the Imperium of Man, but battling its enemies? To maine that’s little believable than conscionable introducing, say, a legally chiseled faction of reality-invading monsters, but past Apex Legends did fto you play arsenic Cyberpunk Edgerunner characters the different day, truthful stupider marque consciousness exercises person happened. We should find retired either mode connected August 12th, the day dangled astatine the extremity of the teaser.
