The latest Helldivers 2 major order has players needing to choose whether to liberate Penta or Choohe. Currently, all major forces have made their way to Penta in order to obtain the new Stratagem called the Airburst Rocket Launcher. Unfortunately, there have been leaks showing the rocket launcher and some have second-guessed their commitment to the cause. Luckily, the Helldivers 2 community manager has confirmed that the versions of the Stratagems that are currently in the game are just earlier versions that weren’t activated yet.
Community manager Spitzer posted on the Helldivers 2 Discord server to let everyone know that a major build update for the game would be arriving next week. Later on, the manager stated that “the major build update next week is going to push out the intended final version of the Airburst Launcher and mines.” They went on to say it would “push out a bunch of fixes for some issues with both of them.”
Both the anti-tank mines and the airburst rocket launcher have been in the game since the last major patch went live. Because of the nature of the current MO, the team wasn’t sure if players would choose to fight on Choohe or Penta. Now that they know which planet and Stratagem the players have chosen, the team can release a patch that will directly affect the chosen Stratagem.
We are thankful that the airburst rocket launcher won’t be stuck in its current state for a long time. Players will most likely only be using the new Stratagem for a few days before the update rolls out and fixes any of the bugs. Now if we could just get an update that adds melee weapons to the game or enhances the mech Stratagem that would be great.
