Helldivers 2 Liberty Day Countdown: Start Time, Rewards, and Major Updates To Watch

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for its big in-universe holiday again, aka the day we all salute Super Earth, stomp bugs, squids, and bots, and pretend managed democracy is just good cardio. Yep, Liberty Day is almost here.

So, when is Liberty Day?

Liberty Day is an annual Arrowhead tradition going back to the first Helldivers, and it always lands on October 26. It’s the official Super Earth holiday, and the studio usually makes a thing of it with community stuff and in-game goodies.

As for this year: Arrowhead hasn’t said a word about the specifics yet. No exact rollout time, no teaser, nothing. With the date right around the corner, expect details to pop soon, but for now, that’s the situation.

Why people care about this one

Liberty Day typically means developer-run activities like giveaways, livestreams, contests, and Q&A sessions. The bigger draw, though, is the freebies that hit the game. Last year’s haul brought in the R-2124 Constitution, a bolt-action rifle with a bayonet attached, plus the DP-OO Tactical Armor. Those weren’t throwaway skins; they actually shook up loadouts in a real way.

What might be coming this year (emphasis on might)

Arrowhead is keeping Liberty Day 2025 under wraps, so everything below is fan speculation pulled from what players miss from the original game. HD2 already has a vehicle and two exosuits, but there’s a wish list forming:

• M5-32 HAV Mk3: A heavy assault vehicle from the first game that basically functioned like a mini-tank. It could bulldoze through waves, soak a ton of damage, and act as a forward anchor to draw fire so your squad could push. That kind of frontline bruiser would be huge against Automatons in HD2.
• MC 109 Hammer Motorcycle: A two-person bike designed for darting between objectives and bailing when things get spicy. The FRV in HD2 has decent straight-line speed, but it’s heavy and not exactly nimble. A lighter, agile two-seater would fill a much-needed mobility gap and would make for a very fun Liberty Day stratagem.

The basics

Helldivers 2 is from Arrowhead Game Studios and launched in 2024. Liberty Day is October 26 every year. This time, no official schedule or update details have been confirmed yet.

Bottom line: keep your eyes on Arrowhead’s channels as we get closer. If last year is any hint, there’s a good chance we’ll be grabbing some new toys to spread a little more... structured freedom.
