You can hug the Super Earth grunts in Helldivers 2's Devoid of Liberty update, which revamps NPC troops and adds new Illuminate enemies
The secret of the floating bear is revealed: Helldivers 2 is gearing up for an assault on the Void, that icky hellmouth gobbling up a chunk of Illuminate-controlled space. The co-op shooter’s big new update, Devoid of Liberty, sees the intergalactic nasties throwing out two new mutant enemies to fight on the field, while your bosses on Super Earth deploy better equipped, better trained, generally…
The latest patch for Helldivers 2, titled Devoid of Liberty, is set to bring the Super Earth's infantry troops back into the fray. These troops, known as the SEAF, have been upgraded to be more formidable and effective in battle. Additionally, two new enemies from the Illuminate faction have been introduced: the Crusher and the Wretch.
The Crusher is capable of rapidly regenerating health, requiring sustained leadstorms to counter its regenerative abilities. The Wretch, on the other hand, is a fast-moving and evasive mutant that can quickly dismantle players' weapons if not eliminated promptly.
The update also brings a level cap increase from 150 to 300, allowing players who were already maxed out to receive any excess experience back-applied once the patch is installed. Furthermore, the Warhammer 40K-themed warbond has been introduced, adding Astra Militarum equipment and weapons for players to use.
In summary, Helldivers 2's Devoid of Liberty update revamps NPC troops with heavier weapons and healing capabilities, introduces new Illuminate enemies with unique abilities, and increases the level cap for players. The patch also includes various balance tweaks and bug fixes to enhance the overall gaming experience.
