In Helldivers 2, a new Warbond has been announced to equip fans for your ventures in the jungle. Despite tuning for mechs and skins like in Rambo, the community is excited about an extraordinary weapon.
What’s included in the new Warbond? The new Warbond for Helldivers 2 again offers a mix of armor, weapons, cosmetic items, and boosters. This time, the Helldiver is heading into the jungle, and this is primarily reflected in the armors. They are designed for the first time so that the army of soldiers from Overworld is not completely covered, which creates a Rambo feeling.
For weapons, the Helldivers have the AR-23A Liberator Carbine, a carbine rifle that is better suited for short distances. The second weapon in the pack is a shotgun that can initially be carried as a secondary weapon. It can fire one or even three bullets at once.
Cosmetic items have also not been skimped on in the Warbond. There are two new banners, two new capes, three player poses, and a new title for players.
Here you can watch the new trailer for the Warbond “Viper Commandos”:
Despite mech tuning, players celebrate the throwing knife
What’s the deal with mech tuning? In the new update, set to be released on June 13, 2024, there will also be skins for the Helldiver vehicles. The shuttle, the Hellpods, and the mechs can be stylishly enhanced with new jungle camouflage patterns.
The camouflage styles match the new armors in the Rambo look and it’s the first time Helldivers will receive skins for their vehicles and aircraft.
Despite the interesting looks, Helldivers are celebrating a special weapon in the trailer comments on YouTube.
Which weapon is being celebrated? The throwing knife that comes with the new pack is the most cheered by the fans. This is likely because many players of the shooter wish for a melee combat system, as expressed by the comment from @justin9489 on YouTube with over 2,300 likes: ‘One step closer to melee combat.’
Also, @speedyazi5029 on YouTube is excited about the knife: ‘We got a knife. From there, it can only get bigger.’
Many comments also quote famous movie scenes like the one with the knife from Starship Troopers. @holitinne on YouTube quotes: ‘The enemy cannot press buttons when you have DEACTIVATED HIS HAND.’ This was originally translated in the German film version as ‘The enemy can no longer press buttons with such an injured hand.’
The pistol, on the other hand, reminds players of the Mozambique from Apex Legends. In the comment from @griffin8690 on YouTube, he writes appropriately: ‘*Look at the pistol’ Mozambique here!’, a quote that every player of the EA shooter has probably heard many times.
Is there a change in the approach to Warbonds? The developers of Helldivers 2 announced in their announcement (via playstation.com) that Warbonds will appear slightly slower in the future. They want to take the time to ‘refine’ the designs before release. Additionally, the focus is meant to be more on ‘quality over quantity.’
Future packs are also aimed to be more diverse. ‘This will prevent us from simply adding more of everything, which could make weapons appear redundant and uninteresting.’
