Arrowhead has announced a set of three cyborg adversaries joining Helldivers 2 with the Machinery of Oppression update, signalling a shift in the campaign toward the cyber-augmented battlegrounds of Cyberstan. The robotic-enhanced enemies echo designs from the original Helldivers, meaning long-time players may recognise the threat patterns while newcomers face revamped combat challenges.

  • Three new enemy variants: a trio of cyborgs will be deployed to the front lines, each blending machine parts with organic components.
  • Familiar but updated: the augmented marauders carry aesthetic and behavioural callbacks to foes from the first game, offering a nostalgic challenge for veterans.
  • New battlefield: the update moves operations into Cyberstan, bringing tech-heavy environments that favor mechanical adversaries and new tactics.
  • Loadout implications: players may need to tweak weapons and gear—melee and explosive options could prove more useful against heavily armoured, augmented targets.
  • Developer reveal: Arrowhead rolled out the details ahead of the update launch, giving players advance notice to prepare their arsenals and strategies.
