Helldivers 2 has been back with a bang since the influx of buffs in September, and the game has gotten even better thanks to the addition of even more buffs and changes just recently. While balance changes and improvements are great, a lot of players are also eagerly anticipating new content. Nothing is official right now, but leaks have revealed exciting details about a Helldivers 2 Hellbot that could be similar to Xûr in Destiny.
Make sure to check out the update 01.001.104 patch notes to see all of the recent changes implemented by Arrowhead. This patch has devastated one of the coolest weapons in the game, but, on the flipside, it has also provided an insanely good buff for the jump pack. The patch is mostly amazing, but it’s not the end of greatness for October as the release date for Liberty Day is less than two weeks away.
Liberty Day is set to be huge for Helldivers 2. While datamines have revealed new armor that could be given to players during the Super Earth holiday, other recent leaks have revealed details about a Hellbot that could possibly join HD2 in the future.
New Helldivers 2 Hellbot leaks
Helldivers 2 leaker IronS1ghts has shared more details about a possible new Helldivers 2 addition called Hellbot. According to the leaker, the Hellbot acts as a shop and has three sections:
- General
- Premium Cosmetics
- Rare Stratagems
IronS1ghts claims players will be able “sell items to the Hellbot for requisition slips,” and the “value of items are controlled by an ‘Index’ system”. Lastly, the leaker also claims the “Hellbot can still fight in-game, but this may be scrapped”.
Judging by the leaks, the Hellbot sounds similar to Xûr in Destiny. For Destiny 2, Xûr is a vendor who sells Exotic items in exchange for Strange Coins and Legendary Shards. Assuming the Hellbot vendor does come to Helldivers 2, players will be able to buy general items, premium cosmetics, and rare stratagems, as well as sell items for requisition slips.
In Destiny 2, Xûr’s location changes every week, and he’s also only around from Friday until the weekly reset. The Hellbot purchases on offer would reset, but it’s unclear if it will appear in one specific location or various different ones.
Alongside these new leaks, IronS1ghts also shared animations for the Hellbot back in August:
Remember that none of the above is official and is merely leaks that may not come to fruition. There have been leaks in the past such as gameplay of players driving vehicles, but this is yet to materialize and a similar fate could happen for the Hellbot.
