Helldivers: Warbond Drops on October 31st

Helldivers 2: Truth Enforcers Warbond Arrives October 31st, 2024

Arrowhead Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment are gearing up for the release of the Truth Enforcers Warbond, a premium content pack for Helldivers 2. This substantial update, launching October 31st, 2024, promises a significant arsenal expansion, allowing players to embody Super Earth's elite Truth Enforcers.

A New Arsenal of Justice

The Truth Enforcers Warbond operates similarly to a battle pass, utilizing earned Medals to unlock exclusive items. Unlike typical battle passes, these Warbond purchases are permanent. Acquired through the Acquisitions Center on the Destroyer ship, it costs 1,000 Super Credits.

This Warbond centers on upholding the Ministry of Truth's unwavering principles. Expect access to cutting-edge weaponry and armor, designed to bolster your Helldiver's capabilities:

• PLAS-15 Loyalist Plasma Pistol: A versatile sidearm offering both rapid semi-automatic fire and powerful charged shots.
• SMG-32 Reprimand: A rapid-fire submachine gun perfect for close-quarters combat.
• SG-20 Halt: A high-impact shotgun capable of switching between stun rounds and armor-piercing flechettes.

Armor and Aesthetics

Two new armor sets showcase unwavering dedication:

• UF-16 Inspector: Sleek, white light armor with red accents and the "Proof of Faultless Virtue" cape, ideal for agile players.
• UF-50 Bloodhound: A more robust medium armor with red accents and the "Pride of the Whistleblower" cape, offering increased survivability.

Both armor sets feature the Unflinching perk, reducing stagger from incoming fire.

Beyond armor, expect new banners, cosmetic patterns for Hellpods, exosuits, and Pelican-1, plus the "At Ease" emote.

The Warbond also introduces the Dead Sprint booster, allowing continued sprinting and diving past stamina limits at the cost of health – a high-risk, high-reward maneuver.

The Future of Helldivers 2

Despite a successful launch with a peak of 458,709 concurrent Steam players (excluding PS5 players), Helldivers 2 has seen a player base reduction, largely attributed to initial account linking restrictions. While the concurrent player count on Steam is currently below 40,000, the Truth Enforcers Warbond aims to reignite player engagement and bring back veterans to the fight. The new content promises to offer a compelling reason to return to Super Earth.
