Helldivers 2 gets an explosive new Warbond on April 11

Noble patriots of Super Earth, the time for stealth is over. A new Helldivers 2 Premium Warbond has been deployed to all fighting units on frontlines across the galaxy on April 11. Codename…. Democratic Detonation.

This concoction of chaos is packed with explosive weapons, fierce armour, super-slick capes and sweet emotes.

So let loose and make the biggest bang since the dawn of time to blow up the bugs, melt the machines, and ignite the raging fires of liberty!

Firepower

BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle

Deliver righteous judgement to your enemies with accuracy. This armour-penetrating assault rifle is best used against smaller groups.

R-36 Eruptor Rifle

Keep your distance… this bolt-action rifle fires jet-assisted shells that explode shrapnel in all directions upon impact. All directions. Even your face.

CB-9 Exploding Crossbow

Kaboom! Enjoy powerful exploding bolts that dish out max damage upon direct impact. Gravity must be accounted for when aiming.

Secondary Weapons & Utility Booster

G-123 Thermite Grenade

This little beauty can stick to surfaces before burning up to a toasty 2000°C.

GP-31 Grenade Pistol

Does what it says on the label – a pistol that fires grenades. Don’t forget to reload between shots though.

Expert Extraction Pilot Booster

Need to get out of a jam fast? This booster lowers the time it takes for the extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon. Home in time for dinner.

Armour

​​

CE-27 Ground Breaker

Medium Armour.
“The ground is just another obstacle that hasn’t yet been cleared.” – SGM Janet Jones, Excavation Corps Founder.

CE-07 Demolition Specialist

Light Armour.
Originally worn by Lunar terraformers, this suit can withstand rapid changes in pressure, heat, and personal velocity.

FS-55 Devastator

Heavy Armour.
Domestic versions of this armour allow colonial farmers to safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece.

Of course, always accessorise your choice of armour with brand-new capes – Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, or Freedom’s Tapestry – as you mix and match your lethal loadout of liberation.

Democratic Detonation is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel on April 11. Let’s drag our malevolent enemies into the burning flames of hell, soldiers. Fire in the hole!
