Greetings Helldivers
After extensive testing of our “slim” build (for more details on this history of this topic see here and here), weeks of your input and stress testing including a great influx of new and returning players in the ‘Machinery of Oppression’ major update, we are confident that players are having a great experience playing HELLDIVERS 2 on the smaller build.

Thank you for your continued support.
