In recognition of the Helldivers’ liberation of the Hive World Oshaune — the source of the tyrannical Gloom cloud that terrorized our people — High Command has issued a commemorative cape to be worn into future battles. The cape is available now. December 10, 2025
Oshaune has long been a deadly challenge for Helldivers — the Helldivers 2 companion records more than 260 million diver deaths on that world, making it one of Arrowhead’s toughest creations yet. See the Helldivers 2 companion for details.
The difficulty stems from the mission design: Oshaune’s central operation forced teams deep into caverns to root out swarms of bugs. Encounters were punishing and progress felt slow but tangible. Add in the influx of new Xbox players from the summer, and you had countless super soldiers plunging into the planet’s dark depths.
We pushed through the chaos. At great cost, yes — but we earned a stylish cape to prove it. Onward to the next campaign.
Helldivers 2 boss says morale at Arrowhead is “much better now” following Into the Unjust backlash; Steam review trends are improving and development continues to move forward.
