Mandatory celebrations with limited-time access to a host of stratagems to celebrate the event.
It’s once again time to come a’Reckonin’ o’er the hill and vale, Helldivers–the Festival of Reckoning’s upon us*! This is a time to reinvigorate our hearts with a commitment to spreading peace and Managed Democracy throughout the galaxy, and we’ve got a special celebration lined up to help.
The Festival of Reckoning is a celebration of love, family, peace and the pursuit of peace using any means necessary. The Reckoning Fund, which finances the yearly event, is bursting with credits, and so this year’s festival is even longer and more joyously explosive: The 2025 Festival of Reckoning begins in Helldivers 2 on December 18 2am PT / 10am GMT / 11am CET / 7pm JST and runs until December 31 14.59pm PT / 10.59pm GMT / 11.59pm CET / 7.59am PT (Jan 1)
We’re getting you into the spirit with holiday Major Orders that grant you limited-time access to a host of stratagems to celebrate the event in grand fashion. No stratagem is off-limits, either–meaning we will even be letting you try out some stratagems from our Premium Warbonds.
During the festival, you will see in-game dispatches will go out to let you know which celebratory Major Order is active, and which mandatory celebration stratagems are available for temporary festive use.
Let’s light up the skies with the fires of our peaceful and democratic seasonal happiness, Helldivers!
