Helldivers 2 is getting its first post-launch premium battle pass (also known as a ‘Warbond’) on March 14 and its bringing some electrifying new hardware for players to use in their valiant effort to spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy.
Titled ‘Cutting Edge’ the new Warbond features ‘ultra-futuristic” armor, new capes for the more fashion conscious Helldivers out there, and “guns that spit lightning.”
Three new sets of armors include: the EX-03, EX-16, and EX-00 prototypes. These are likely spread across the game’s light, armor, and heavy armor classes.
On the weapons front, players can look forward to the following weapons:
- LAS-16 Sickle: A burst firing laser rifle.
- SG-8P Punisher Plasma: A plasma firing version of the standard Punisher shotgun.
- ARC-16 Blitzer: A close range version of the Arc Thrower that projects a wide-arc of lightning at shorter range.
There’s also the G-23 Stun grenade and a LAS-7 Dagger laser pistol.
In the meantime, Helldivers can put their focus on liberating Tien Kwan from the Automatons and give some fancy new mechs a spin in the process.
Helldivers 2 is now available on the PlayStation 5 and PC.
