Helldivers 2 dev confirms huge changes are coming to the Galactic Map “relatively soon”

Helldivers 2 developer, Arrowhead, has a lot of plans to improve the game. It’s already been significantly enhanced thanks to the influx of buffs fairly recently, but more improvements are on the way. Players have provided a lot of feedback to the developer since the game’s launch back in February, and the community will be pleased to know that significant changes are coming to the Helldivers 2 Galactic War Map “relatively soon”.

As for what else is on the way, Arrowhead are working to fix the game’s most divisive feature, and they also are looking to revamp the jet pack. In regard to the world of leaks, a mysterious new weapon has been unearthed, and old Dune weapons and armor have surfaced for a potential Premium Warbond. We also have the Democracy Space Station and the Illuminate to anticipate.

While all of the above is exciting improvements and new content to look forward to, many Helldivers 2 fans will also be pleased to know that big changes are on the way for the Galactic War Map.

Helldivers 2 changes to Galatic War Map coming soon

On the Helldivers Discord, community manager, Twinbeard, has revealed improvements are coming to the Galactic War Map “relatively soon”. Twinbeard regularly interacts with and responds to the community on a nearly daily basis, and a lot of the time they are asked if Arrowhead are planning to add tweaks to the War Map suggested by the community.

Fortunately, changes are on the way. Per Twinbeard’s announcement, “one or more changes to the map are coming relatively soon and a couple more are being worked on”. There’s no ETA for exactly when these changes will arrive, but hopefully “relatively soon” is true to word.

As for what players should expect, Twinbeard “can’t disclose exactly what, but most things are related to visualization and information”. In addition, it will also be related to “what data is available to you as a player on the map and how can we [Arrowhead] explain to players better how things work in galactic war”.

Twinbeard’s post ends with an acknowledgement that “To rid the galaxy from aliens and bots you need to be able to know what’s what and we know this has been lacking”.

This is good news for HD2 soldiers. The Galactic War Map has received a lot of feedback and ideas from the community since day one of the game’s release, and, although improvements have been made, it’s still not completely ideal. Hopefully these incoming changes will make the map better as promised.
