There are twelve Planetary Conditions and weather hazards to deal with inHelldivers 2. About half of which were added by developer Arrowhead Games via patches. Fire Tornadoes and Blizzards weren’t available in the base game, for example. No, those blazing twisters came with the game’s first balance patch — it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
