Where to find the TR-40 armor set in Helldivers 2

The TR-40 is essentially a reward that you can get for watching the 24-hour Helldivers 2 developer livestream on Steam. The livestream kicked off on August 6, 2024, at 2 AM PDT, and will be looped until 2 AM PDT, August 7, 2024, giving you plenty of time to log in, watch at least 10 minutes, and claim the Golden Eye armor set.

However, there's a catch. This method is only applicable to PC players on Steam. If you're on PS5, you will need to wait a bit longer to get access to the TR-40 armor set.

Additionally, make sure you are logged in to your Steam account. Watch the stream via the Steam desktop app to make sure you can easily redeem the armor set.

If you miss the livestream, you can still get the TR-40 Golden Eye armor set, albeit a bit later. Arrowhead Game Studios has confirmed that the Golden Eye armor set will be sent to all Helldivers 2 players on PC and PS5, on August 8, 2024, for free.

As such, even if you're on PS5 or did not get to watch the livestream by August 7, 2024, you can still get the new armor set. The TR-40 Golden Eye armor set is a perfect outfit to use for the new content, i.e., the Swamp Planet and the expanded enemy outposts.

As mentioned earlier, the Helldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom update comes with a new difficulty preset, the Super Helldive, which increases the Combat Rating to 10. Additionally, there are some new enemy types, including the Impaler from the original Helldivers game.
