Helldivers 2: Impale Enemies with Flags in New Patch! Automatons Attack Space Station!

07/15/2025 Action

Hey Helldivers! A fresh update just dropped for Helldivers 2, and it's a wild one. Patch 01.003.200 is here, bringing some seriously cool changes, including a major upgrade to the One True Flag stratagem.

Forget just planting flags; now you can impale your enemies with them! The devs at Arrowhead put in a "surprising amount of code" to make this happen, so you know it's good. I think this is hilarious and awesome, and it will add a whole new level of satisfaction to liberating planets.

But that's not all! The Automatons are making a play for the Democracy Space Station. A new Major Order has players defending key planets—Claorell, Tarsh, and Gaellivare—to prevent the station from falling into enemy hands. And, if you don't know, the enemy is planning more waves of attacks so be prepared!.

Besides the flag impaling and space station defense, there are also some tweaks to ragdolling (you get up faster after being thrown around) and chest injury bleed damage (it actually does something now!). Plus, weapons like the Flame Sentry got some love. I'm curious to see how these changes will affect gameplay.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive in, plant some flags in bots, and defend our space station! See you on the battlefield, Helldivers!
