Helldivers 2 opens the Supply FRV to all players in October

Arrowhead Game Studios will make the M-103 Supply FRV available to every Helldivers 2 player in October. PC Gamer reports the vehicle will be unlockable with requisition slips rather than sitting behind a Warbond purchase, which places it among the smaller set of recent additions obtainable through ordinary play rather than a paid unlock track.

The Supply FRV is the third variant of the game's offroad truck. The standard FRV carries a mounted machine gun and the Incinerator FRV swaps that for a flamethrower; the Supply version pairs an automated turret with a rack at the rear that PC Gamer describes as good for eight full restocks of ammunition and equipment. That makes it the resupply option of the three rather than the direct-fire one.

The vehicle was first handed out as a stratagem to players who took part in June's Census Thunder campaign, which pitted Helldivers against Illuminate Voteless emerging from voids across the galaxy. Arrowhead framed the wider rollout as a consequence of that turnout in a post on Steam, telling participants their work had opened the equipment up for everyone else.

PC Gamer notes the Supply FRV is the first stratagem reward to come out of Arrowhead's galactic campaign system, which replaced the studio's previous approach to running collective objectives in June. That system is part of a broader overhaul the developer committed to earlier in the year following player dissatisfaction with the live-service shooter, and was intended to give more players a realistic route into the game's shared goals.

A second galactic campaign, Lightning Intercept, is underway, with players working to destroy an Automaton orbital platform. Arrowhead has not said what follows it. The studio has confirmed one dated item beyond the October unlock: a Warhammer 40,000-themed Warbond, which PC Gamer reports will be revealed on July 30.
