Hello there, Helldivers 2 folks. You'll probably be glad to know that the forces of Super Earth are now moving on the automaton-infested Troost, having just wrestled control of Vandalon IV. To be fair, they've had help from two huge new guns, one of which certainly seems like it might be a new fan favourite.

These fresh additions to the arsenal have been a welcome surprise, especially since Arrowhead has temporarily barred players from getting into snowball fights, due to an issue it's busy looking into. While your arc weapons should no longer cause crashes like those snowballs currently are, you'll probably want to give these new firearms a whirl as you push on towards major order victory over the next days or so.

As I write this, there's a force of 140,000-ish helldivers battling to liberate Troost, with it having become the number one target in their crosshairs once Vandalon IV fell into Super Earth's hands just a little bit ago. It's the big final boss of this latest major order, so here's hoping the attack goes well, even if it currently looks like it'll take 20 hours or so of strongly sustained push, since we're currently only at about 4% liberation percentage, according to Helldivers.io.
