The highly anticipated 60-day update for Helldivers 2, originally announced in August, is now delayed to October 15, extending the wait by three days. The development team at Arrowhead Game Studios explained that they opted for the slight delay to avoid releasing the patch over a weekend, when player activity is at its highest. Despite the postponement, the update promises significant improvements, including major balancing fixes.

The previous Helldivers 2 update, Escalation of Freedom, went live on August 6, introducing new enemy types, a harder difficulty mode, and a new biome. However, it also nerfed several popular weapons and strategems, disrupting many players' favored playstyles. As a result, the game faced a wave of negative reviews, pushing the development team to address these issues and create a comprehensive fix in the upcoming update.

Game director Mikael Eriksson laid out post-Escalation of Freedom plans on August 13, stating that a major update would arrive in 60 days, initially targeting October 12. However, the team soon realized this date fell on a Saturday. “We don’t patch during weekends, because we don’t wanna break the game while you’re playing the game,” creative director Johan Pilestedt explained in a recent video posted to the game's official Twitter. To avoid potential issues, the update has been rescheduled for October 15, a Tuesday, in line with the game's usual patch release schedule.

While the delay was addressed with an apology, the developers also teased new features to build excitement for the update. Among these are enhanced weapon functionalities: the Autocannon will receive a Flak upgrade, the Recoilless Rifle will gain Programmable Ammo, and the Scorcher will offer automatic fire—easing some of the frustrations from the weapon balance changes in Escalation of Freedom.

The full patch notes will be released alongside the update on October 15. However, Arrowhead has hinted at key areas for improvement in recent updates on its Steam page, including reworking armor penetration mechanics and reducing excessive ragdoll effects. While smaller updates have been rolled out in the meantime, players can expect the full suite of fixes and new content soon.
