Helldivers 2 will release its latest premium Warbond, Polar Patriots, on May 9. Players can expect new weapons, armor, emotes, and capes.
Check out a trailer for the new DLC below:
The PlayStation Blog revealed some details about the new additions, with the weapon details being of particular note:
- AR-61 Tenderizer: A real tentacle-tearer. This high-caliber assault rifle has awesome stopping power but limited magazine size, so make each shot count. Unpatriotic “banter” shots are not advisable.
- SMG-72 Pummeler: A slower rate of fire than your other SMGs but these concussive rounds will leave your enemies dazed, confused, and still very ugly. Good things come to Helldivers who wait.
- PLAS-101 Purifier: Set the trap. Hold the trigger. Let them charge at you. Smile. They’re getting closer. Smile again. Closer. Smile. Closer. Smile. Closer… and release the trigger. S.P.L.A.T. The longer you can hold your nerve, and the trigger, the bigger the damage.
- G-13 Incendiary Impact: Don’t waste time reading the instructions, lob it at the enemy and run. This thing detonates on impact and ignites the area in white phosphorus, so make sure you – and your allies – are not standing around having a chat.
- P-113 Verdict: The guys in R&D love this one. Gas-operated, semi-automatic, and chambers the largest centrefire cartridge of any lunpistol of its kind. “Rapid Deliberation”, they call it. Quick-draw to look cool in front of your squad.
New armor includes the camouflage-focused CW-36 Winter Warrior, the CW-22 Kodiak, and the pocket-filled CW-4 Arctic Ranger. Capes include the Dissident’s Nightmare, Pinions of Everlasting Glory, and Order of the Venerated Ballot.
Helldivers 2 was released on February 8, 2024 for PC and PlayStation 5. Despite only being released three months ago, the game is already the seventh best-selling Sony Interactive Entertainment title of all time. Recent rumors point towards a possible Xbox release in the future.
