The Omens of Tyranny update is now live in Helldivers 2, and it introduces a host of new stuff, including vehicles.
No longer will you and your squad need to run across zones to defeat your enemy, or get to the exfil. The latest update has added Fast Recon Vehicles, which allows the four of you to travel faster. The car is a 4-seater utility unit that has a mounted gun on the top (in case you have to shoot your way out), and here’s how you can find it on your adventures.
Helldivers 2 Fast Recon vehicle location
The Omens of Tyranny update hasn’t been out for long, but so far, you can only get the vehicle in the new urban districts called colonies. This region has also been added as part of the upgrade. To reach this location, look out for Illuminate missions on Calypso.
The exact location of the vehicle will be completely random, and you’ll have to observe your mini-map. The vehicle will be marked with a car and machine gun symbol. In the future, FRVs are going to be available in more locations, and you can deploy them as stratagems. To do so, you’ll have to complete a Major Order which is yet to be revealed. Once the order is available, you’ll have to complete it to gain your own FRV.
Additionally, you’ll also need points to unlock it (just like all other stratagems). Once we have more information about the quest and the required points, we will update this piece.
Omens of Tyranny update is being rolled out to all players now.

How to use the Fast Recon vehicle in Helldivers 2
Driving in Helldivers 2 is surprisingly easy, but you’ll have to master the controls. It’s not going to be a cakewalk after all, and mastering the controls will allow you to escape near-death situations on certain occasions.
- Press the W or RT button to accelerate.
- Press the S or LT button to apply the brakes.
- Use the Arrow keys/LS to control the direction.
- Use the Control and Shift/L2 and R2 buttons to switch between different gears: Reverse, Neutral, Drive, 1, or 2.
That’s pretty much all of it when it comes to vehicles and using them strategically in Helldivers 2. It will be interesting to find out how they work as stratagems, and they might become a meta-choice on certain types of maps and missions.
