But Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has always marched to the beat of a different drum, turning what could be mundane update logs into entertaining reads that keep players coming back for more. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up In their latest patch notes for update 01.002.101, the team has outdone themselves yet again, peppering their technical documentation with the kind of wit and charm that would make even the most hardened Automaton crack a smile.
