This latest Helldivers 2 patch is only for the true patriots – the Super Earth Flag stratagem can now be "proudly" planted directly into living and dead enemies: "Absolute Democracy"

Good news, citizens of Super Earth, Helldivers 2 just got a heck of a lot more patriotic. A new update adds plenty of buffs, but the one I'm most excited about is the fact the flag stratagem has been upgraded so that we can now use it to skewer fallen enemies, planting it directly into their bodies so it can proudly stand erect upon their corpse.

A new video and blog post on Steam shares the details about the CQC-1 One True Flag's changes. "Thanks to some groundbreaking military research into pointier flag tips, the flag can now be proudly planted directly into enemies – dead or alive – ensuring the eternal colors of Super Earth are never tainted, only quenched by the blood of its foes. Absolute Democracy."
