It’s a good time to be a fan of Helldivers 2. Following on from Halo, a new Warbond is imminent called Dust Devils, and Arrowhead have just revealed extra weapons and armor that will be released on the same day as the Premium bundle. But, before Dust Devils comes out, players will be treated to Hive World expeditions behind the Gloom. Arrowhead has discussed the Into the Unjust update, but leaks have revealed more deadly new Helldivers 2 enemies, objectives, and zones players will need to survive.

The most interesting objective listed by Asunderknight is kill Hive Lord. This will be one of the new enemies part of the Into the Unjust update. On the PlayStation Blog, Arrowhead has already revealed a new enemy called Dragonroach. This is a flying “menace in the sky that dives unsuspecting Helldivers and rains down burning bile,” and is likely the “dragon_traveler” referred to in the leaks above.
Other new enemies officially confirmed include “subterranean species of Terminid Warriors, Bile Spewers, and Chargers,” with Arrowhead teasing “even greater, more terrifying creatures lying in wait on Hive Worlds”.
As for objectives, Arrowhead confirmed two in their deep dive. The one objective includes helldivers needing to blow up the Hive Lung, meanwhile, the other objective tasks players with drilling oil from Hive Worlds.
The Into the Unjust update comes out on September 2nd and will be quickly followed by the Dust Devils Warbond on September 4th. Both look fantastic, and we absolutely cannot wait to begin exploring creepy caves and stomping bugs into the ground.
