Helldivers Deploys Its First Batch of DLC Today

Back on the front lines

by Robert Ramsey Tue 17th Mar 2015

We hope that you're still mowing down alien scum in crazy co-op shooter Helldivers, because the download's first batch of DLC is crash landing onto the North American PlayStation Store later today.

Helldivers is a great little game - read our review

Consisting of three packs that can be bought separately or all at once, each little bundle includes new specialised weaponry and equipment. The Commando Pack features a silenced submachine gun and a missile launcher, the Defender Pack boasts a new rifle and a handy-sounding backpack drone buddy, and the Support Pack gives you access to a fresh laser rifle and a drone that'll do its best to heal up your wounds. Isn't that nice?

Individually, each DLC pack will set you back $2.99, or you can fork out $5.99 for everything that's on offer. Are you still diving into Hell on PS4, PS3, or Vita? Accidentally crush us in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

@Timvp2120 No it doesn't make me think that. This game is so brilliant I'd have easily paid 60 bucks for it. Now considering the difference between the 16 I paid and whats missing to the 60 I would have paid, Im going for EACH and EVERY DLC. All the things games nowadays are accused of doing wrong, this game does not. It's like a blast from the past with a coating of brains and attention to detail. Worth. Every. Single. Penny. Tenfold.
