The introduction of the Spartan kick-style emote in the Helldivers 2 has taken the gaming community by storm. This fun addition coincides with the launch of the recent free update, titled Omens of Tyranny, which finally integrates the much-anticipated Illuminate faction into the gameplay, along with urban-inspired maps for enhanced exploration.

Probably one of the coolest saves so far. Anyone else got any good kick-emote clips? (And no, don’t take it as kicked from game) https://t.co/8A9oNMaoN6 — Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) December 29, 2024
The kick emote isn’t just for entertainment; it has also proven to be a valuable tool for saving teammates in perilous situations. A notable instance involved a player utilizing the kick to nudge a teammate out of the path of an incoming charger—a crucial save that caught the eye of Johan Pilestedt, CCO of Arrowhead Game Studios. He remarked on social media about the impressive nature of this save and encouraged players to share their kick emote highlights.
In addition to the exciting new content introduced, Helldivers 2 has also launched a collaboration with the Killzone franchise, bringing iconic Helghan armor and gear into the mix. Following community concerns regarding pricing and the fear of missing out (FOMO), Arrowhead Game Studios responded positively by offering players a second wave of gear free of charge. Additionally, the StA-X3 W.A.S.P. stratagem, recognized from Killzone 3, has now been made accessible to all players for free, featuring the ability to launch a barrage of seven homing missiles.
