Everybody loves a free expansion. In a post on the PlayStation blog, Arrowhead Game Studios Co-Founder Malon Hedström excitedly announced today's release.
Helldivers: Democracy Strikes Back is the third expansion in the series, following up this summer's Masters of the Galaxy update.
There are quite a few new features. DSB adds 20 new ranks, which raises the max to 50. There are additional DLCs available for purchase as well, like the Terrain Specialist Pack.
The Terrain Specialist Pack contains the following:
All Terrain Boots Perk – The Helldiver All Terrain Boots allows you to power through difficult terrain. Great for snow planets or when you need to cross a swamp.
Missile Barrage Stratagem – A portable missile battery fires a salvo at the targeted location, pretty much obliterating anything in the targeted area.
The Terrain Specialist Uniform, a cosmetic helmet, armor, and cape.
The Precision Expert Pack is also available and contains:
Precision Call In Perk – Better targeting data when calling in Stratagems allows them to be delivered faster. Stratagem call in time is lowered by 1 second.
Precision Artillery Strike Stratagem – An artillery strike fired in a tight cluster with top modern homing rounds able to alter their trajectory. It uses the same targeting algorithm as the Railcannon strike.
The Precision Expert Uniform, a cosmetic helmet, armor, and cape.
Helldivers: DSB is available on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita.
