Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead has now confirmed it's continuing its plan to dump its original, and gigantic, Steam build in favor of a more petite one. The change will go into effect on March 17, rolling out with the next patch.
Arrowhead community manager Mitchell "Miitchimus" Ayre writes in a March 5 Discord post, "After extensive testing of our 'slim' build" involving "weeks of your input and stress testing including a great influx of new and returning players in the 'Machinery of Oppression' major update, we are confident that players are having a great experience playing HELLDIVERS 2 on the smaller build."
