According to GameSpot, Helldivers 2's massive 7.0 update, Devoid of Liberty, is live now, and it brings significant changes to the game's SEAF soldiers. These NPCs can now appear as a planet modifier, joining players in battle and enhancing their combat capabilities with new tools such as stim pistols and heavy machine guns.
GameSpot reports that the SEAF soldiers have also been updated to interact with players in new ways, including shaking hands, playing rock, paper, scissors, or giving a hug to a Helldiver in need. The update also adds two new Illuminate enemy types, the Wretch and the Crusher, which require different strategies to defeat.
The Devoid of Liberty update also includes various quality-of-life changes, such as increasing the level cap from 150 to 300, with new ranks and rewards to earn. Additionally, the update brings balance changes, including making stims more responsive and faster recovery time after a heavy landing, as well as buffs to short magazines and secondary weapons.
GameSpot notes that the update coincides with the release of the game's Warhammer 40K crossover, Warbond, which is available now. The full patch notes for the Devoid of Liberty update are also available, detailing the various changes and fixes included in the update.
