Overview
Stealth Detection UpdateCrash FixesBalancingMission fixesMiscellaneous fixesBalancingGeneralThe Ministry of Humanity has issued an amendment to its Combat Mobility Safety Guidelines, now permitting Helldivers to self-administer stims while in mid-dive, an act previously categorized in the same risk zone as “running with scissors” and “juggling live grenades”Primary weaponsR-2 AmendmentIncreased ergonomics from 35 to 50
SidearmsP-2 PeacemakerIncreased starting magazines from 4 to 5Increased max spare magazines from 6 to 8Increased damage from 75 to 85Increased durable damage from 15 to 25
Armor PassivesIntegrated ExplosivesNow also increases initial inventory and holding capacity of grenades by +2UnflinchingThis passive has been adjusted to better reflect the core doctrine of the Truth Enforcers Warbond—relentless pursuit, battlefield awareness, and overwhelming presenceNow also increases armor rating by 25Markers placed on the map will generate a radar scan every 2.0s, revealing nearby hostiles
EnemiesGeneralStealth Detection Update:Enemies will no longer automatically detect you when you're near Terminid spawners or spawners that generate flying enemies. Instead, these spawners will now only activate if an enemy has already identified you as a target.Previously, simply being within 200 meters of certain spawner types—such as flying enemy spawners, Stalker lairs, or inside Terminid locations—would trigger immediate enemy spawns and reveal your location. This update shifts detection to a more logical, line-of-sight or alert-based system, reducing arbitrary auto-detection mechanics and improving stealth gameplay
As a result of these changes, Automaton Fabricators now spawn enemies more consistently, ensuring smoother pacing and engagement balance
