While most of us haven&#8217;t taken to social media to tell Arrowhead about it, I imagine lots of fans have also wondered what an endless mode in Helldivers 2 would look like. I reckon anything resembling Gears of Wars&#8217; old Horde modes or Halo Firefight would fit nicely, though based on Pilestedt&#8217;s comparison to roguelites, we can assume this prototype includes modifiers or power-ups.<\/p>\n<p>What if in the roguelite mode, you had to buy stratagems instead of equipping a set of five? What if you could call down entire defensive structures from your mothership? More than the roguelite mode itself, it&#8217;s nice to hear that Arrowhead is thinking outside the box about future Helldivers 2 updates. The base game is tremendous, but the bones of Helldivers are good enough to support explorations into other co-op genres.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:697px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:27.40%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Bg26JFcjWBSi6mcKZAzNRA\" name=\"pilestedt 1\" alt=\"johan pilestedt tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arrowhead-founder-casually-mentions-that-a-helldivers-2-roguelite-mode-is-in-the-prototype-phase-it-changes-the-game-fundamentally.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"191\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Johan Pilestedt on X)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just don&#8217;t hold your breath about seeing the fruits of those explorations anytime soon.
