Helldivers 2's , has just landed—and it's brought a whole host of fresh goodies for you to get your freedom-loving mitts on, as announced on the game's official Twitter.
Explosive firepower is Taken to a new level with three times the democracy and three times the detonation.The latest Warbond, Democratic Detonation, is available now! pic.twitter.com/3m1d4mm5jn
As an aside, I just love the Taken 3 reference here. In case you're not familiar, the announcement vid is aping the viral meme "" in which Mills, played by Liam Neeson, takes 14 entire camera cuts to climb over an object. Hardly a man with a particular set of skills, though extremely fitting since I figure Super Earth's Ministry of Truth just paid an actor instead of capturing real war footage. Anyway, here's what's in store inside the Warbond:
Page 1 has the G-123 Thermite grenade, the BR-14 Adjudicator Marksman Rifle, and the CE-27 Ground Breaker medium armour, which confers the servo-assisted armour passive, increasing your throwing range by 30% and providing 50% extra limb health.
Page 2 has the Expert Extraction Pilot booster, which lowers [[link]] the time it takes to extract in any given mission, the R-36 Eruptor rifle, and the CE-07 Demolition Specialist light armour, which reduces recoil when crouching or prone by an additional 30% and gives you two extra grenades.
Page 3, lastly, holds the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow, the GP-31 Grenade Pistol, and [[link]] the FF-55 Devastator heavy armour, which gives you a similar reduced recoil bonus to the CE-07 set while also granting 50% resistance to explosive damage.
Those aren't the only benefits you'll be getting, though—in a surprise twist, Arrowhead Games has added a whole new tier of Super Destroyer upgrades to grind for. Here's a video, courtesy [[link]] of the Helldivers 2 Discord:
Also, here's all the new upgrades you can grab starting today:
- Superior Packing Methodology: Resupply boxes fill support weapons with the maximum number of carriable magazines.
- Atmospheric Monitoring: Orbital HE barrage spread reduced by 15%..
- XXL Weapons Bay: Eagle stratagems that drop multiple bombs will drop 1 additional bomb(s).
- Enhanced Combustion: Fire damage from stratagems increased by 25%.
- Circuit Expansion: Lighting arcs, fired from weapons and turrets, jump to one additional enemy.
- Blast Absorption: Sentries take 50% less damage from explosions.
All of these high-tier upgrades cost a pretty penny. For example, Superior Packing Methodology asks for a whopping 150 common samples, 150 rare samples, 15 super samples, and 20,000 requisitions—so, uh, try not to drop them miles from the extraction, okay? Papa needs a new pair of orbital shoes for democracy.
