Helldivers 2 has just rolled out its substantial 7.0 patch, officially named “Devoid of Liberty,” bringing several notable modifications to the game. Among the most unique additions is a significant enhancement to how players can interact with the game’s SEAF soldiers. These non-player characters, often noted for their enthusiastic presence despite not always being the most effective combatants, are now more responsive than ever.

Previously, players primarily enlisted these soldiers to follow them and provide sporadic gunfire support. However, the new update introduces a surprisingly personal interaction: these loyal companions will now actively return a player’s hug. This charming new feature allows for a deeper, more emotional connection with the ever-present SEAF allies, making them feel more like genuine companions on the front lines.

The “Devoid of Liberty” update is currently available, inviting Helldivers to experience these new, more demonstrative interactions with their trusty squadmates. This report is based on GameSpot’s coverage.
