Exciting news for all Helldivers 2 players out there! The game's battle pass is about to receive some awesome new additions, including weapons, armor, and emotes. However, there's a catch - these new items won't come for free.
Since its release, Helldivers 2 has quickly become one of the top live service games in the market. Its popularity has even helped PC gamers reach a new record of 34 million concurrent players on Steam. However, it hasn't been a smooth ride for developer Arrowhead, as some fans were not pleased with the recent update that nerfed some of the game's powerful weapons. This was an attempt to balance the gameplay, but it didn't sit well with everyone.
But fear not, fellow Helldivers! The game is about to release its second Warbond on March 14, packed with new weapons, armor, capes, and emotes. Dubbed as "Cutting Edge," this Warbond will feature four new guns, a stun grenade, three types of armor, three capes, and three emotes. According to the PlayStation blog, "Cutting Edge" will give players the chance to upgrade their loadouts with futuristic armor, lightning-spitting guns, stylish capes, and epic emotes.
However, to get your hands on these cool new items, you'll need to spend Super Credits, the game's in-game currency. And to get Super Credits, you'll have to shell out real money. The upcoming Warbond will cost 1,000 Super Credits, which equals to £7.99.
So what can you expect from these new weapons? Well, we have the LAS-16 Sickle, a laser rifle that fires in short bursts, the SG-8P Punisher Plasma, a modified shotgun that shoots exploding plasma rounds, the ARC-12 Blitzer, which projects an arc of close-range lightning, and the LAS-7 Dagger pistol.
In other news, Helldivers 2 has been out for a month now, and its popularity only seems to be growing. Despite the backlash over the nerfed guns, particularly the Breaker, the game shows no signs of slowing down. We'll have to wait and see next week if fans will approve of the new weapons and gear in the upcoming Warbond. But one thing's for sure, if they don't, Arrowhead will definitely hear about it.
Unfortunately, the much-awaited mechs won't make their debut next week. While the developer has promised their arrival "soon," they're not listed as part of the Cutting Edge Warbond. So it's still unclear how they will be introduced in the game.
