Helldivers 2 players will head into uncharted territory on September 2 as the new expansion, Into the Unjust, arrives. The update sends squads deep into the Gloom, a mysterious fog-covered region overrun by the Terminids. Just two days later, on September 4, the Dust Devils Premium Warbond will also roll out, bringing fresh weapons, stratagems, and gear for survival on Hive Worlds.
Entering the Gloom
For months, the Terminids have been tightening their grip across Hive Worlds. Now, players will push back by exploring the Gloom — a shroud filled with strange structures and hidden horrors. From above-ground infestations to sprawling underground tunnels, squads will need to adapt quickly. Deep in the caves, the Hive Lung is said to be fueling the fog, making missions harder with limited Super Destroyer support.
New enemies on Hive Worlds
The expansion introduces a range of dangerous foes. Bile Spewers and Chargers will stalk squads underground, bursting out of the earth to strike without warning. Above ground, mutated threats like the Dragonroach will dive from the skies, unleashing burning bile. Developers have also hinted at even deadlier creatures lurking deeper within the Gloom.
Mission challenges
Beyond fighting enemies, players will face new objectives. One mission includes defending a mobile oil rig as it drills across hostile Hive terrain. Another pushes Helldivers underground to locate and destroy the Hive Lung. Extra sub-objectives will also test strategy and teamwork during operations.
Dust Devils Premium Warbond
Launching September 4, the Dust Devils Warbond equips Helldivers with firepower and style. It introduces:
- AR-2 Coyote – An assault rifle with incendiary rounds.
- G-7 Pineapple – A cluster frag grenade that shreds enemies.
- S-11 Speargun – A heavy projectile weapon releasing gas clouds.
- EAT-700 Expendable Napalm – A napalm-loaded missile for devastating impact.
- MS-11 Solo Silo – A portable Hellpod missile silo with a single powerful strike.
The Warbond also includes new armor sets with Desert Stormer passive resistance, themed capes, vehicle patterns, an emote, and player cards.
Gear up for the fight
Two new armor sets headline the Warbond:
- DS-42 Federation’s Blade with the Rightful Occupier cape and card.
- DS-191 Scorpion, a desert-ready warrior look, paired with the Windswept Wayfinder cape.
Players also get the “Burier of Heads” title, the “Raider’s Cheer” emote, and the “Rattlesnake” vehicle and Hellpod pattern.
The dive ahead
Helldivers will need every tool and every teammate to push back the Terminids when Into the Unjust launches September 2. Two days later, the Dust Devils Premium Warbond will give them even more firepower for the fight.
