Helldivers 2 is back with a bang since the influx of buffs in September, and the game has gotten even better thanks to the recent addition of more buffs and changes. While the balance changes and improvements are great, many players are also eagerly awaiting new content. Nothing is official at the moment, but Leaks have revealed exciting details about a Helldivers 2 Hellbot that could resemble Xûr in Destiny.

Be sure to check out the update 01.001.104 patch notes to see all of the recent changes implemented by Arrowhead. This patch destroyed one of the coolest weapons in the game, but on the other hand, it also made for an insanely good jump pack improvement. The patch is mostly amazing, but it doesn’t mean the end of the awesomeness for October, with the Liberty Day release date less than two weeks away.

Freedom Day will be a big day for Helldivers 2. While datamines have revealed new armor that could be given to players during the Super Earth holiday, other recent leaks have revealed details about a Hellbot that could potentially join HD2 in the future.

New Helldivers 2 Hellbot leaks

Helldivers 2 leaker IronS1ghts has released more details about a possible new Helldivers 2 addition called Hellbot. According to the leaker, the Hellbot functions as a shop and consists of three sections:

  • Generally
  • Premium cosmetics
  • Rare war strategies

IronS1ghts claims that players can “sell items to the Hellbot for requisition slips” and that “the value of the items is controlled by an ‘index’ system.” Finally, the leaker also claims that “Hellbot can still fight in the game, but this may be phased out.”

Judging by the leaks, the Hellbot sounds similar to Xûr in Destiny. For Destiny 2, Xûr is a merchant who sells exotic items in exchange for strange coins and legendary shards. Provided the Hellbot Trader comes to Helldivers 2, players will be able to purchase common items, premium cosmetics, and rare Stratagems, as well as sell items for Requisition Tickets.

In Destiny 2, Xûr’s location changes every week and he is only there from Friday until the weekly reset. The Hellbot purchases on offer would be reset, but it is unclear whether they will appear in a specific location or various other locations.

In addition to these new leaks, IronS1ghts also shared animations for the Hellbot in August:

Keep in mind that none of the above statements are official and are just leaks that may not come to fruition. There have been leaks in the past, such as gameplay from players driving vehicles, but that hasn’t happened yet and the Hellbot could suffer a similar fate.
