Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead Games is gearing up for another round of Liberty Day celebrations, the fictional in-game holiday where families gather to enjoy hotdogs and witness traitors face their fate. This year, Arrowhead is offering Helldivers 2 players exclusive free armor and a weapon inspired by the original game. It’s a fantastic opportunity for fans to get their hands on some unique gear!
Get ready to dive deep into the details of Liberty Day 2024! Arrowhead is gifting the highly sought-after DP-00 Tactical armor set, reminiscent of the original Helldivers 1 armor. Along with this impressive armor, players will receive the R-2124 Constitution rifle—a modern twist on a classic weapon. For those curious, the rifle is equipped with a bayonet for those close encounters!
Mark your calendars because Liberty Day 2024 kicks off on October 26, and participation is encouraged. Arrowhead Games has ensured that everyone is invited to join in the festivities. Or else, you might miss out on the fun!
What to Expect from Liberty Day 2024
Arrowhead Games has shared some exciting highlights for this year’s Liberty Day celebrations. The day will commence with a 24-hour livestream from Strohmann News, followed by the recitation of the Super Earth Anthem. For entertainment, Dissident Executions will take place at 0700. Don’t fret if you miss that, as there will be surprise executions at 20:00 as well. Just make sure you haven’t been caught doing anything treasonous lately!
For the new players in the Helldivers community, Liberty Day is a tongue-in-cheek holiday celebrated every October 26. This date is significant as it marks the release of the Starship Troopers novel back in 1959 and coincides with the birthday of the studio head, Johan Pilestedt. The first Liberty Day event was held on October 26, 2016, offering players new capes and the iconic M2016 Constitution rifle, modeled after the 1903 Springfield.
Obtaining Exclusive Armor and Weapons
While some may think you need to play Helldivers 2 on October 26 to receive the exclusive armor and weapon, that’s not the case! According to Arrowhead’s confirmation on their Discord channel, all players will automatically receive the items on October 27, regardless of their participation in the celebrations. It’s that simple—no effort required!
Be sure to check out the Liberty Day rewards, which include the classic HD1 armor and Constitution rifle. This is a great chance to enhance your gameplay with unique items that pay homage to the game’s rich history.
Looking Ahead: Beyond Liberty Day 2024
After Liberty Day, Helldivers 2 players have even more to anticipate. A new Warbond is set to launch on October 31, just in time for the spooky season! This upcoming content, titled Helldivers 2: Truth Enforcers, will introduce two new armor sets and a host of weapons, including the much-anticipated SMG-32 Reprimand, a new shotgun, and a plasma pistol. Additionally, players can look forward to a fresh ‘At Ease’ emote that is sure to become a fan favorite!
